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).

Oil futures dropped as much as 2% on Wednesday before paring losses as traders weighed what Donald Trump's presidential victory could mean for energy prices.
While crude oil and natural gas are also being phased out in chemical processes (e.g. production of new building blocks for plastics) as the circular economy and biobased economy (e.g. bioplastics) are being developed [16] to reduce plastic pollution, the fossil fuel phase out specifically aims to end the burning of fossil fuels and the consequent production of greenhouse gases.
