Tim, i have mentioned this in a long ago post, but to remind everyone: the calculations for the global Hubbert peak DO include the oil that has yet to be found. the earth's geology as it relates to crude oil is very well known and mapped by now, and there are estimates with considerable latitude, allowing for a number of very large finds yet to be made which have been included in the calculations. can't cite any numbers off the cuff, but i'll repost the relevant articles on occasion.

in the meantime, here's the old, but still relevant, article by Simmons, comparing the 70's to now:

i'll have to search for the paper on the global Hubbert peak...i'll re-post that some other time.
