Understanding Peak Oil
Auckland Branch of ESR

Thursday 13 March 2008, 7:30pm.
Room 3.407, School of Engineering, University of Auckland, 20 Symonds St, Auckland.

Neil Jacka, Consulting Civil Engineer

Geological limitations on the abstraction of oil will cause the world production of oil to peak and enter a phase of terminal decline in the near future. Although the timing of the peak and the impacts on society have been difficult to predict, the situation is becoming clearer as the peak in production approaches. This talk outlines the theory of the peaking of oil, some of the options to replace liquid fuels and the possible economic impacts of a contracting supply of oil.
