There was a consensus between industry leaders and analysts that world oil production would peak between 2010 and 2030, with a significant chance that the peak will occur before 2020. Dates after 2030 were considered implausible by some. Keep in mind that the term “peak oil” means that world oil production reaches its peak; there could be many reasons for the peak. For example, someday, the climatic situation will become so bad that legislation and policies will be implemented to reduce the combustion of oil and other fossil fuels drastically. By this time, by 2015, world production will be dropping faster than the US is gaining. I am going out on a limb and will make my official peak oil prediction. I believe the world Crude + Condensate will peak approximately one year before the US peaks. And that point, world peak, will be no later than 2015. Scenario #1: global oil production will peak soon, probably before 2017. The Department of Energy commissioned a team of top experts, lead by Robert Hirsch, to determine the requirements for America’s adaptation to peak oil and how long it will take. The report’s (PDF) conclusion: at least 20 years. Their combined growth is insufficient to offset the decline from the rest of the world. Only the US oil production growth can bring about rising world oil production in the next few years. As a result of the current projections, world oil production is projected to peak in 2018,
production in 1971 (Hubbert, 1971; Bowden, 1985). In 1974 he also suggested that global oil production would peak in 1995 which proved to be inaccurate Peak oil: The decline of global production output will lead to peak cheap oil by 2012.

The tar sands are being mined for their heavy crude and bitumen in an effort to replace. Canada's dwindling supplies of conventional sources of crude oil. The
Peak oil is the phenomenon whereby global oil supplies will peak, then decline, with extraction growing increasingly costly.

That’s the year that the world’s conventional oil production likely reached its peak, the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Vienna, Austria, said Tuesday.
