How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

Does anyone have a nice list of the top 10 (or even more if it's easy) fields and whether they are in decline or not. I don't know where to find that info.

I think this is a nice idea. We should get this list as complete as possible. It might be very illustrative.

No 7 Ahwaz and no 9 Marun: Decline

Quote:
Production of Ahwaz Bangestan oil field, for example, has fallen to 160,000 b/d from 250,000 b/d and will fall to 60,000 b/d within 1-2 years. A gas injection program could increase production to 220,000 b/d and maintain it at that level.

Quote:
Ahwaz, Marun and Bibi Hakimeh oilfields (which together having a capacity to produce 1.46m b/d). The experts are helping with a wider research programme to tap vast amounts of oil in place. These fields are old and on a natural decline for years.

These three sites seem to confirm Marlim is declining, maybe at about 8%
especially the last one.
