Conventional oil supplies will re-main tight in the years ahead. New dis-coveries will not suffice. World crude-oilproduction nearly tripled in 1960-73(from 21 million barrels a day to 56 mil-lion), but has grown a mere 30% sincethen, to around 73 million barrels per dayin 2006. In fact, Persian Gulf crude-oilproduction stopped growing entirely after1974, peaking at around 21 million bar-rels per day. Discoveries and productionincreases outside the Middle East roseonly modestly and now in many cases arein decline in such fields as Britain'sNorth Sea and Alaska's North Slope.
