that's just an anecdote

When I'd go shooting it was with people who had over a hundred years of combined experience in the oil industry. And that's just one day in the life. Unless they're freaking out about running out of oil, I'm not either. I'm going to trust the pros over your study, seems the prudent course.

That doesn't change the fact that oil discoveries have been steadily declining for decades.

Yes, but is that relevant at all. There's a lot of factors to oil exploration. They don't always want to look for new reservoirs.

Art Berman alone has 40 years of experience in the oil industry and he basically says what I'm saying. He's one of the sources on this topic I trust the most.

He's a geologist, they're near the bottom of the totem pole, and on his site he claims to be able to predict markets. https://www.artberman.com I feel this is easily dismissed to the work of a huckster.

A petroleum geologist with 40 years of experience in the industry. You have a bunch of anecdotal "engineers" whose existence I can't even verify.
