Why is the Hubbert Curve for peak oil not a model of the rate of oil depletion?

What will be an ideal response?


The Hubbert Curve is a not an estimate or model of the rate of oil depletion. It is a model of the point in time at which the rate of production of oil is no longer growing at the same rate as the demand for oil. Peak Oil models the rate of oil production, not the volume of reserves relative to the rate of depletion.
