Does anybody know, that according to some Oil Geologists (e.g. Colin
Campbell) in 2013 the world oil output is going to peak ?

Yes, although 2040 has also been suggested. However, peak oil theory is
based upon the invalid assumption that recoverable oil reserves are fixed.
It has had one success, although it was a few years wrong on exactly when US
oil production would peak, and multiple failures in its predictions.

Oil exploration is expensive. Its only finanically worthwhile
exploring enough to give a lmiited time buffer ahead. The failure to
understand this is the cause for this erroneous 'peak oil' hypothesis.
