ASPO predicts that oil production will peak around 2007.
The
Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, or
ASPO, is a network of scientists, affiliated with European institutions and universities, having an interest in determining the date and impact of the peak and decline of the world’s production of oil and gas, due to resource constraints.
ASPO was founded by
Colin Campbell in 2000. It is the most influential organization supporting the "peak oil" theory known as the
Hubbert curve, devised by
M. King Hubbert, which predicts future oil availability. It appears in the
documentary film The End of Suburbia.
Geologists from the following countries are represented in ASPO: Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Mission
1. To evaluate the world’s endowment and definition of oil and gas;
2. To study depletion, taking due account of economics, demand, technology and politics;
3. To raise awareness of the serious consequences for Mankind.
