I've been involved in oil exploration for 30 yrs. so I'm interested in what some people have to say on here.
I live in Canada but have and still do work internationally, in over 30 countries in total.

Thanks for the welcome.
I've always felt the peak oil theory was not just a theory but I had felt the time line would be pushed out further than others thought due to the fact that oil co. sharply reduced exploration after the oil crashes of 1986 and 1998. It was my feeling that in the 2000's they were not spending as much as they could on exploration due to not fully believing prices would stay high. Does anybody remember The Economist article around 1999 or so predicting $2/bbl oil? Thinking like this killed exploration budgets. Now they want to explore more but nationalistic countries and politics are limiting the amount of exploration they can do.
Very interesting times for sure.
