Are we running out of oil or not?

03-02-2006 09:51 | Analysis | Ecology | World

Anyone who has been reading up on the issue of peak oil will know the question is not whether we are running out of oil but rather when we will find that extraction levels start to decline and we can no-longer extract oil fast enough to meet growing demand. In response to Bush juniors pathetic state of the union address yesterday, Royal Dutch Shell have claimed that the world was nowhere near to running out of oil. At the same time, Shell, the world's third biggest oil and gas company, announced record profits for any British company, nearly £13billion ($23billion). Their profits are up 30% thanks to inflated oil prices and compare well to $22billion forecast for BP next week.
