The Oil Drum was published by the Institute for the Study of Energy and Our Future, a Colorado non-profit corporation. [2] The site was a resource for information on many energy and sustainability topics, including peak oil, and related concepts such as oil megaprojects, Hubbert linearization, and the Export Land Model.
Bardi is a researcher on materials for new energy sources, a contributor to the now-defunct website, "The Oil Drum".He is the co-founder and former president of ASPO Italy, a member of the scientific committee of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas [] (ASPO), [3] a member of the Club of Rome, [4] and author of several books, including The Limits to Growth Revisited.
Since retiring from Total in 1991, Laherrère has consulted worldwide on the future of exploration and production of oil and natural gas. He is the co-founder and an active member of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, and continues to contribute detailed analyses and projections of the future of world energy production.

Some statistics on this page are disputed and controversial—different sources (OPEC, CIA World Factbook, oil companies) give different figures. Some of the differences reflect different types of oil included. Different estimates may or may not include oil shale, mined oil sands or natural gas liquids.
RSPP – a publicly-traded oil and gas producer focused on horizontal drilling of multiple stacked pay zones in the oil-rich Permian basin [citation needed] [clarification needed] RSS – rig site survey; RSS – rotary steerable systems; RST – reservoir saturation tool (Schlumberger) log; RTMS – riser tension monitoring system
The deeper the source, the "drier" the gas (that is, the smaller the proportion of condensates in the gas). Because both oil and natural gas are lighter than water, they tend to rise from their sources until they either seep to the surface or are trapped by a non-permeable stratigraphic trap. They can be extracted from the trap by drilling.
Through an executive order, Trump is seeking "maximum pressure on Iran," which includes reducing the country's oil exports to zero. This could create a supply gap for OPEC+ members to fill.
In 1973, the Arab oil embargo creates a worldwide energy crisis, leading to intensified search for alternative energy sources. Also, in the same year, the government of Brazil starts the program " Pró-Álcool " in order to substitute gas-powered vehicles in favor of automobiles powered by ethanol.
