Editorial Notes: In addition to the Science special issue, here is another blast from the past from RM: The Future for Petroleum - a prescient view from 1964 (PDF) Anthony Francis Fox, The World of Oil (via UBC website) RM writes:
A marvellous article of historical interest to Peak Oilers.. [It appears in the book] The World of Oil, written by an A.F. Fox, Head of the Geological and Geophysical Division of the Kuwait Oil Company. What caught my eye was the projected peak of crude Oil production (Fig 64). Although Mr. Fox cites Hubbert's many contributions throughout his textbook, he seems unaware of Hubbert's predictions with respect to peaking-so this appears to be an independent assessment. He makes a best guess of a peak of some 26 Gb/y around the year 2000. Not bad! This was made in the early 1960's, as he states "no forecast can hope to come close to the truth through the mists of 40 years..." He also discusses the estimate of Ultimate Recoverable Reserves (1500 Gb), enhanced oil recovery, the Athabasca Tar Sands of Alberta, and even mentions the fuel cell!
