advancing the technologies that will enable the fossil fuel resources that exist, whether conventional or those currently dubbed unconventional, to be utilised ... sustainably.

Oh boy! If this guy believes that fossil fuels can be utilised sustainably then he is in for a massive shock. I hope this submission will be laughed at profoundly by APPGOPO, not only because of the above gaping fallacy but also for his utter reliance on very old forecasts (I notice that two of his graphics come from 2004 and 2000), with no corroborating evidence for his assertions (as in, just what has been the record of those USGS predictions?)

He will, of course, be able to claim that he said there were "uncertainties" in the information. But, apparently, not uncertain enough to make him doubt for one second that there is any problem with oil supplies for at least 20 years.
