New Dire Warnings About Peak Shale. Undeniably, the so-called “shale revolution” has produced record amounts of oil, with steady growth over the past decade. The dual techniques of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, are very effective at producing large amounts of oil and gas, but that production has resulted in chronic industry overspending by approximately a quarter trillion dollars over the last decade.* Fracking can lead to production of large volumes of light oil at the cost of a quarter trillion dollars more than the industry has made since 2007. In 2016, lower oil prices led to an overall drop in production for shale companies, which use horizontal drilling and fracking to extract oil and gas from shale formations such as the Marcellus and Permian. This was one of the few relatively positive financial periods for an industry Between 2010 and 2015, annual oil production in the U.S. grew by four million barrels per day (BPD). Production dipped in 2016, but then U.S. crude oil production again rose by 1.2 million BPD between January and December 2017,
Hubbert went on to predict that U.S. production would peak in 1969, and it did appear to peak in 1970. World reserves were supposed to peak around 2010 (see figure). However, about 20 years ago, the industry really leapt forward on the technologies to find oil and to extract it. Particularly fracking.

fracking is a toxic, desperate effort to maintain natural gas and petroleum supplies. Conventional oil peaked in the USA in 1970 and conventional natural gas peaked in 1973. Fracking has not raised domestic oil production above this level, although the conventional natural gas peak has been surpassed, temporarily.
The fracking illusion. Crude oil currently provides around one third of our total energy. Oil continues to be extremely important to the wellbeing and stability of societies and countries. Yet by definition, oil and gas are finite resources, and the faster economies grow, the more rapidly the resources are depleted.

On March 17, 1949, a team of petroleum production experts converges on an oil well about 12 miles east of Duncan, Oklahoma – to perform the first commercial application of hydraulic fracturing. Later that same day, Halliburton and Stanolind company personnel successfully fractured another oil well near Holliday, Texas.
