Keep saying it...then you can parrot yourself while convincing yourself it must be true.
The irony is precious. No one rehashed the same material here, post after post, more than goofy you. And no one works backwards from their conclusions as does you.
I present to discerning ears, between which lie functioning neurons. That is a key difference between my audiences and those from whom you derive cutting and pasting material.
So it'll be a symposium full of abiotic cultists then? I'm sure you'll be applauded. Just as sure as you are that all those super-giant fields will magically fill themselves back up. LOL.

Oops. The International Monetary Fund now? That's gonna leave a mark.
So you think parroting the IMF is good?
No, pumpkin. I think backing up my claims -- with corroborative assertion from entities and governing bodies far more influential than you or I combined -- is good. Get it yet?
You seem to have a real problem with that debate strategy, you know, sourcing one's claims. Almost threatened by it. So much so that you appear to prefer opinion rant to hard news. Lie to yourself all you like, "industry insider," but your arrogant aversion to backing up claims reflects far more poorly on you, and not at all on me.
kthxbai!
Secretary of the Interior, Ickes, in 1941 was warning the President we didn't have enough oil to run the war. Wrote an article on it in 1943. "Running Out of Oil". So predicting how this stuff is disappearing was going on before you were born, any reason you suddenly noticed? Poor attention span to go with your failing memory? Straighten out your panties already and give the parroting a break.
Your apples to oranges allegory of 70 years ago does not refute the modern day verdict. Oops, sorry. I know that twists your bra and all, but this latest example of fail 70 years ago is not remotely as significant. This is assuming Ickes was even claiming overall peak in the first place. Perhaps he was just referring to war restraints, or short term production roadblocks.
Meanwhile, the IMF admitting
today "global supply constraints" and "no return to supply growth" and "nations should brace themselves" because of it. ... Yeah, kind of a big deal.
Keep creating straw men, and arguing with them. It's all you have at this point.
that, and probably a whole gang of bad investments that you're trying to rationalize to yourself. LOL

Quick! Ruffle through your Steven Gorelick bible and find that passage on how the IMF is lying. How it's part of the great conspiracy to artificially inflate global oil price. Surely he covered that angle.
Gorelick provides footnotes, the Bible doesn't. You would know this if you had actually read a little of either. And the real price of oil today is about the same as it was in 1864 during the Civil War....you have a problem with oil prices that your great great grand parents were perfectly capable of dealing with, or do we just chalk this up to your bad memory and parroting abilities? As usual?
Gorelick's book gets laughed at at ToD and ASPO, and probably the IEA. Sorry if that hurts your feelings, sunshine. It's now clear that we have identified the lone source for all your pablum, and that your talking points come from this turd of a book.
His book does not attempt to be scientific, offers little-to-no research of his own, and relies on logical fallacies like this beauty:
"The world has never run out of any significant globally traded, non-renewable Earth resource."
Your hero wrote the...
"Worst Book on Oil Crisis Written Yet "
A scientist should dig deep and try to come up with a model or theory that would confirm or rebut the empirical evidence. You just don't rely on tired worn-out assertions (the world has never run out of a resource, predictions have not come true, etc) from the cornucopian right, put them in a book and consider this an advancement of knowledge.
