Abstract

Here we turn to the question of how to forecast peak oil. This is a large topic, and here only a few of the main approaches that have been used are highlighted. Additional detail on oil forecasting is given in Annex 4; and specific forecasts from a variety of individuals and organisations are discussed at greater length in Annex 5.
