This is for the average Joe Jun 19, 2008
This is a very, very good book about Peak Oil Production written by PhD's that know what they are talking about. This book is written for the layman with no experience in Oil & Gas and has never worked in Saudi Arabia or the oil industry in general. It's a good start for the average Joe. I spend a lot of time reading comments and postings from Peak Oil sites and I am amazed at the comments posted by know-it-all experts who you can tell have never worked in the oil business. Today, I read several post from guys who are now experts on Saudi Arabia and Russia even when it's obvious they've never been there. I spent 18 years in the Middle-East and in the 1990's spent one month of each summer in Moscow or Kiev. It's clear to me the only thing alot of these guys know about oil is Wesson Oil that these guys fry their chicken in. These guys would better spend their time if they bought this simple and very good book by Mr. Lyle and Mr. Allen. It's well worth the $15 dollars. It's a small book and to the point. On page 21, one of this great little book's authors talks about the great Max Steinecke and Steniecke Hall. The authors might like to know that when I left Saudi Aramco in 1998 Steniecke Hall was still there. It was the most cute hotel in the world. This book brought back memories of the 100's of times I've stayed in Steniecke Hall and could just walk across the street to the dining hall then after that get my mail at the Al Mujamma and step over the the Aramco commissary. This little book should be required reading for all of the talking heads on CNN, CNBC and Fox News that have no idea what they are talking about. I agree with Mr. Lyle and Mr. Allen, using "Peak Oil" as a search topic will result in a lot of authoritative sites and info but also a lot of uninformed and adolescent positings. It's a great book for the beginner to grasp the concept of "Peak Oil." Regards, Keith Renick, Saudi Aramco Oil, Retired

Peak Oil Mar 09, 2008
The authors address a subject that is well known within the oil industry but ignored by the media.
I agree with the authors that peak oil production is a very unpleasant truth. It is a gathering problem that will present grave consequences to our current lifestyle. In the long run this problem will likely exceed the problem we are faced with in global warming.
