Preliminary data regarding oil production through December 2007 is now available from the US Energy Information Administration, so it is a good time to put together an updated summary of where we are now with respect to peak oil. The major themes of this presentation are

• The US oil story
• The world oil story
• Five myths

I have put this summary together in the format of a PowerPoint presentation plus notes. In this format, it is a multi-purpose document. You can

1. Read the post yourself, with or without my comments.

2. Use the presentation (PDF) as a handout, to give to one or two of your friends. My comments are intended to give you some more background, so you can better explain the presentation and answer questions.

3. Use the presentation for a group, using the PowerPoint format.

The Distant Sound Of Drumming

The Oil Drum Australia / New Zealand will be launching in the next week or two.

Co-editor Phil Hart from ASPO Australia will be editing reader submitted articles and hopefully contributing some articles of his own in the not too distant future.

I'll be doing a fairly regular (hopefully daily) antipodean equivalent of Leanan's Drumbeat posts, focusing on energy news from Australia, New Zealand and the nearby region.

For those who are aware of it, my regular home at Peak Energy will still remain active, and will continue to see a lot of material that veers far away from the core topics that I'll concentrate on here (ie. I won't be cross-posting between the 2 sites except on those rare occasions that I write material of my own as opposed to summarising the day's news).

If you've got an article that you'd like to post (or relevant links that you think are appropriate for the daily Drumbeat) please get in touch...
