Oil depletion is the decline in oil production of a well, oil field, or geographic area. [1] The Hubbert peak theory makes predictions of production rates based on prior discovery rates and anticipated production rates. Hubbert curves predict that the production curves of non-renewing resources approximate a bell curve.
The 1980s oil glut was a significant surplus of crude oil caused by falling demand following the 1970s energy crisis.The world price of oil had peaked in 1980 at over US$35 per barrel (equivalent to $129 per barrel in 2023 dollars, when adjusted for inflation); it fell in 1986 from $27 to below $10 ($75 to $28 in 2023 dollars).
Eight members of the OPEC+ alliance of oil exporting countries decided Thursday to put off increasing oil production as they face weaker than expected demand and competing production from non ...
OPEC+ faces a major oil oversupply in 2025, challenging production increases. The coalition has tried to boost oil prices by holding back output. Instead, members are ceding control to non-OPEC ...
US oil futures notched their seventh straight week of declines on Friday, marking their longest losing streak in five years. The prolonged drop comes as analysts worry about increased production ...

OPEC and its allies, including Russia, agreed on Sunday to widen crude oil production cuts to 3.66 million barrels per day (bpd) or 3.7% of global demand.
The crisis began to unfold as petroleum production in the United States and some other parts of the world peaked in the late 1960s and early 1970s. [3] World oil production per capita began a long-term decline after 1979. [4] The oil crises prompted the first shift towards energy-saving (in particular, fossil fuel-saving) technologies. [5]
