suggest that the UK may produce as much oil in the next 40 years as it has done in the last 30 years is irresponsible pipe dream

You could argue, if put to you that even if your wrong and this estimate is correct the profile of production will not follow a flat plateau or rise until all the oil is gone.

aside from being irresponsible even if correct they basically admit to peak!

it makes no difference

Oil industry metaphors used in newspaper headlines that set my teeth on edge...

  • Pipe Dream
  • Oil's Well At company name
  • Slick as a synonym for clever or even just good
  • Profits Gush At company name

    • Any others?

    Not oil industry, but...

    'With the onrushing food crunch, investors are ploughing into agricultural commodities.'

    ...is a little nauseating... and seems to be 'cropping up' quite frequently ;)
