SPO-USA World Oil Conference, Oct. 17-20, in Houston, Texas.
HOUSTON, TX
The Conference will present new research and findings that indicate
Peak Oil impacts may hit sooner and harder than previously predicted,
according to Steve Andrews and Jim Baldauf, Conference Co-Chairmen and
ASPO-USA co-founders. The term "Peak Oil" refers to the view that world

...On Wednesday night at this week's Houston Oil Conference, Aage
Figenschou will report on the changing date of Peak Oil as predicted by
the IFP, the French Petroleum Institute. He says that in 2001 IFP
predicted oil would peak in 2020. But in 2006, IFP said the year would
be 2015; and in June of 2007, they had moved the peak year forward to
2010...
Three years.
