‣ Economic consequences will be extreme & long lasting
Why is peak oil important?
‣ Public panic
‣ Rush for supplies, instant shortages
‣ Major negative reaction on Wall Street
‣ Depression, unemployment, inflation, etc.
When peak oil becomes widely known, repeat of 1973 and 1979:

Where we are nowSource: Mitigation of Maximum World Oil Production:
Shortage Scenarios, Hirsch, 2008
out of the IMF-defined range), and a roughly $60 perbarrel oil price, the $100 per barrel oil price increase(10 times the IMF $10 increase), we would calculate a 4%reduction in world GDP, which is in line with our unityratio approximation.
On the basis of the foregoing, we adopt the following:(1) when world oil supply declines on a sustained basis, theresulting shortages will cause world oil prices to escalateand world GDP to decline, and (2) a sustained percentagedecline in oil world supply will cause an approximatelyequal percentage decline in world GDP.
3. Possible world oil production patterns
Fig. 2 shows three simplified oil production patternsassociated with oil production from giant oil fields, largeregions, and various forecasts. In a sense, these patternsrepresent a continuum from sharp maximum to plateauedmaximum, followed by continuing declines.
When planning mitigation, particular attention must bepaid to longer-term decline rates. As recently noted byGAO (2007), ‘‘the rate of decline after a peak is animportant consideration because a decline that is moreabrupt will likely have more adverse economic conse-quences than a decline that is less abrupt.’’
The model used in analyzing future world oil productionis shown in Fig. 3. The model consists of the followingphases: A period of increasing production, which ischaracteristic of world oil production over the last decades;A rollover period, wherein production departs from itsprevious growth rate; A plateau period, where productionmay fluctuate; and finally, a period of relatively monotonicdecline.
Fig. 4 shows the limiting case without a plateau.A period of rollover and roll-down is of interest because
such a slowly changing period of oil production couldcorrelate with relatively moderate economic distress.
4. The characteristics of giant oil fields
Giant oil fields are responsible for over 60% of worldconventional oil production (Robelius, 2007), and theyprovide an important benchmark when considering long-term world oil decline rates. Most giant fields werediscovered decades ago, have long since passed theirmaximum oil production, and are in relatively monotonicdecline. Decline rates for a number of reasonably well-managed fields vary in the 8–16% range. The world isunlikely to be subjected to such high rates of decline,because the phasing of production from various oil fieldsin a large region usually moderates single, giant fieldbehavior.

Act Now
‣ “By 2015, 37.5 mb/d new production will be
needed; only 25 mb/d worth of projects are on
the books leaving a gap of 12.5 mb/d that will
cause an “oil crunch” by 2012
‣ Unfortunately, there's a lot of talk, but very little
action. I really hope that consuming nations
will understand the gravity of the situation and
put in place radical and extremely tough
policies to curb oil demand growth.”

Energy Agency saying?

Drilling in ANWR and OuterContinental Shelf
Figure 1 shows that the addition of the 42 billion barrels of new oil will result in a shoulder peak in the production curve around 2040. Model predictions for other production schedules show that the height of this shoulder peak will increase or decrease if the new oil is produced faster or more slowly that the rate assumed here. Producing the new oil faster, however, will shorten the duration of the new shoulder peak. Figure 1 also presents the actual production data from 1860 to 2006 to allow us to evaluate the ability of the model to accurately fit the historical production data. The plots of Figure 1 do not include increases in production from the Gulf of Mexico (e.g. Thunder Horse platform). The expected increases will add another small shoulder peak to the production curve without altering significantly its overall downward trend.
In summary, opening the now inaccessible moratoria areas to oil exploration and development will only add another shoulder peak to the production curve, but will not reverse the long-term inexorable decline of the US oil production. Is this sip of oil a good enough reason to start drilling in the moratoria areas that span 21 US states and large parts of our Outer Continental Shelf? Should we not look instead for other ways to quench our "big thirst" for transportation fuels?

“...as peaking is approached, liquid fuel prices and price volatility will increase dramatically, and, without timely mitigation, the economic, social, and political costs will be unprecedented. Viable mitigation options exist on both the supply and demand sides, but to have substantial impact, they must be initiated more than a decade in advance of peaking.”

2. The nexus of oil supply and GDP—a world economicimpact estimate
It is said that oil is the life-blood of our moderncivilization. Indeed, world oil production has increased intandem with world economic development for decades.This relationship is illustrated in Fig. 1, which shows ameasure of world GDP growth and world oil productiongrowth over the last 20 years (EIA, 2007a; IMF, 2007).
Our interest is in identifying an approximate relationshipbetween these two rates of change on the downside, i.e.,when world oil supply falls short of world demand.Precision is not possible in these considerations, becauseof multiple ambiguities and complex causal relationships.
2.1. Numerical relationships
Using world GDP figures similar to those in Fig. 1,Deutsche Bank (DB) estimated the relationship betweenGDP growth and oil demand growth for the period1995–2006 (Deutsche Bank, 2007):
% change in world GDP=% change in oil demand ! 2:5.
Simply stated, oil demand growth was positivelycorrelated with GDP growth, and an expanding worldeconomy demanded was generally well provided with agrowing supply of liquid hydrocarbon fuels and products.
History demonstrated that the opposite holds whenworld oil supplies are not sufficient to meet demand. Inthat circumstance, world oil shortages have acted as a dragon world GDP, as demonstrated in the Arab oil embargoof 1973 and the Iranian revolution of 1979. In bothinstances, oil shortages lead to recessions with significantlyincreased inflation, unemployment, and interest rates(Hirsch et al., 2005).
Estimates of the damage caused by past oil pricedisruptions vary, but impacts were significant. According
to EIA (2000) ‘‘the oil shock of 1973 caused the US GDPto go to about 3% negative in 1975. The oil shock of 1979caused roughly the same: "3% in GDP.’’ Elsewhere(EIA, Undated), EIA reported that the average grosssupply shortfall during the 1973–74 oil embargo was2.6MMbpd, or 4.4% on an annualized basis. The averagegross supply shortfall during the Iranian revolution was3.5MMbpd, or 5.4% on an annualized basis.It is important to recognize that drawing long-term
conclusions from this short-term data is chancy. Never-theless, the two oil supply interruptions of the 1970srepresent the only modern oil shortage experiences fromwhich guidance for the future can be gleaned. From theforegoing:For the Arab oil embargo:
% change in US GDP
% change in oil supply!
"3
"4:4#0:7.
For the Iranian revolution:
% change in US GDP
% change in oil supply!
"3
"5:4#0:6.
Thus, for these two episodes, a % GDP change/% oilchange ratio of 0.6–0.7 for the US was evident. Comparingthat range with the DB ratio of 2.5 for the world economicgrowth period of 1995–2006 and recognizing the approx-imate nature of these considerations, we conclude that aratio of 1:1 is a reasonable approximation for a futurecircumstance where world oil shortages act as a drag onworld GDP, i.e., numerical values ranging from 0.6 to 2.5are of order of unity. A ratio of one-tenth would seem toosmall and a ratio of 10 would be too large. While greateraccuracy would be desirable, this approximation is believedadequate for our analysis, since our final conclusions arenot highly sensitive to this assumption.One of the few recent studies of the potential economic
impacts of a severe, long-term decrease in world oilsupplies was the Oil Shockwave simulation, which involveda number of retired senior government executives, assistedby Sanford Bernstein & Co. LLC. (Gates et al., 2005). Thefocus of their effort was the potential impacts of a severeoil shortage caused by massive terrorist attacks on worldoil infrastructure, leading to significant, multi-year worldoil shortages.Among their conclusions was a forecast that a roughly
4% global shortfall in daily supply would result in an oilprice increase of nearly a factor of three and a severerecession.On the topic of the % GDP change/% oil change ratio,
the IEA estimated ‘‘a sustained $10 per barrel increase inoil prices from $25 to $35 would result in the OECD as awhole losing 0.4% of GDP in the first and second years ofhigher prices. Inflation would rise by half a percentagepoint and unemployment would also increase’’ (IEA,2004).If we assume the Oil Shockwave estimate of $160 per
barrel, IMF’s 0.4% GDP impact (recognizing that its use is

‣ Output from the world’s oilfields is declining faster than previously
thought, the first authoritative public study of the biggest fields
shows.
‣ Existing fields (or at least those which are at, or past, peak) are
now averaging a depletion decline of 9.1% per annum. Even with
existing planned investment, depletion is 6.3%
‣ Conventional oil production is projected to grow from barrels 70.4
mb/d in 2007 to only 75.2mb/d in 2030.
‣ Total production by 2030 is projected to be 106.4 mb/d by 2030,

The Bottom Line
“The budget should be balanced, the treasury should
be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the
arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and
controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should
be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People
must again learn to work, instead of living on public
assistance.” — Cicero , 55 B.C.

‣ Net Exports Fall Faster Than Gross Production
‣ Deep Recession May Mask Peak Oil (for a while)
‣ Complex Civilization Is Temporary
‣ Can’t Run Complex Civilization on Alternatives
The Conventional Business Wisdom
« Saudi Aramco's proved reserves alone could keep the
world supplied for several decades. But it is only exploiting
ten of its 80 or so fields, so will be able to pump at the
present rate for about 70 years even if it never discovers
another drop of oil ».
