Face it RE, you can't accomplish dick when it comes to practical applications. Smarter than shit and if trapped in a wet paper bag would die because paper when wet is NON-PERMEABLE!!!

Fortunately, I've never been trapped in a paper bag.

I note that you missed the part where I already mentioned peak oil is real.

Peak Oil is real, but "Peak Oilers" are idiots.

Not all of them. Hubbert wasn't. There was a guy publishing in Natural Resources Research, Tony S. something or another, who had a clue. A professore at School of Mines who later became State Geologist of Oklahoma, he had it figured out, why it didn't work, what would make it work better. Kevin/Keith? King of XOM was studying it well 20 years ago.

Hubbert's disadvantage was timing, he was just at the cusp of seminal work in discovery process modeling by Arps and Roberts in the DJ Basin (which began 2 years after his 1956 paper). Given another decade, his estimates would have been far better for what they found, which was the cause for his peak thing working even a little. Reserve growth came along later and screwed things up, and wasn't figured out until a few decades later, but even Hubbert was doing excellent work for his time with his late-60's and early 70's work on the topic. The USGS, the best geologists floating around in the country benefited from his work when they finally nailed it down decades later. Pete McCabe had excellent discussions with Colin and Jean in the late 90's, and his work had not just clues but data as to why the peak oilers were missing the boat.

It was the folks who once they latched onto the idea, and then couldn't ever question their belief in it, who tended to muddy the waters. And that, as it turns out, wasn't an education level issue, smart folks, dumb folks, geologists, other professionals, plenty went for the idea and then just couldn't let go.

You're an anonymous troll who has spent the better part of the last 15 years....

Certainly you and Haniel are the last to be able to claim I am a anonymous troll. No one else ever took the effort to track me down via my traveling and IP geolocating. And it is 19 years this November 29th.
