For a minute there I thought I had to get off my couch, when all the while the fact is we don't have to do anything much but keep things afloat for just a few decades more! In fact, we'd best shut up about PO, because if our offspring finds out we knew about it all along, they'll turn and wring our necks come 2036!

MUSCAT: Oman, which has battled to halt a drop in oil production, is estimating a lower daily output of 750,000 barrels next year, the national economy minister said in remarks published Sunday.
Estimated production for next year is 4.1 percent down on the figure for the first nine months of 2004 and 8.4 percent lower than output for all of last year, said The Times of Oman.
Oman exported 197.4 million barrels of crude in the first nine months of this year, 5.5 percent lower than for 2003.
Daily average production in 2003 was 819,500 barrels, down 8.7 percent from 898,000 the year before.
State-run Petroleum Development Oman, an exploration and production company, last week attributed the drop to a steep decline in its daily output from 840,000 barrels per day in 2000 to 660,000 bpd by the end of last month.
Oman had maximum production in 2001. They're depleting a little faster than the global average. If they follow the same path as Trinidad, their 2006 production will be about 70% of peak or 672,700.
thanks, slick50, for putting us onto that data source.
The even more interesting data is from the USA, which according to that source, is down almost 25% from last year and is now pumping at only 48% of peak, compared to 65% in 2003.
