*OT* Tata Motors in India has gotten lots of press lately over their plans to produce a $2500 car for home consumption. Lots of skepticism over whether they can actually build one that cheap, but if they get close it's just gonna make things worse. (That is, if the Indian road system gets a massive upgrade in coming years)....

2. Monthly production peaks are unchanged:
1. All Liquids: the peak is still July 2006 at 85.54 mbpd (up 0.11 mbpd), the year to date average production in 2007 (6 months) is 84.28 mbpd (up 0.02 mbpd), down 0.07 mbpd from 2006 for the same period.
2. Crude Oil + NGL: the peak date remains May 2005 at 82.09 mbpd (up 0.01 mbpd), the year to date average production for 2007 (6 months) is 81.20 mbpd (down 0.04 mbpd), down 0.06 mbpd from 2006.
3. Crude Oil + Condensate: the peak date remains May 2005 at 74.30 mbpd (up 0.15 mbpd), the year to date average production for 2007 (6 months) is 73.23 mbpd (up 0.14 mbpd), down 0.25 mbpd from 2006.
4. NGPL: the peak date is still February 2007 at 8.03 mbpd (down 0.21 mbpd), the year to date average production for 2007 (6 months) is 7.97 mbpd (down 0.18 mbpd), up 0.19 mbpd from 2006.
3. Decline in crude oil + condensate continues: June 2007 estimate for crude oil + condensate is 72.82 mbpd compared to 73.11 mbpd one year ago and 73.92 mbpd two years ago.
4. Average forecast: the average forecast for crude oil + NGL based on 13 different projections (Figure above) is showing a kind of production plateau around 81 +/- 4 mbpd with a decline after 2010 +/- 1 year.

Here's a good graph:

OT:

I have lots of other info on the "peak oil problem" and can post if folks are interested.

Yes, but I also have a suggestion: How about someone starting a new, OT-only CSCO thread? I have no problem with OT postings here, but they can get lost among the CSCO only postings at times. Also, people might feel more free to make OT postings, which would not be OT there.

QCOM has more than one thread so there is no reason CSCO can't, too. The OT discussions on the CSCO thread are (to me) quite interesting. A "Cisco Systems, Inc. - OT Only," thread could be a good place for everyone here to go for lengthy, OT discussions.

Just a suggestion from someone who finds the OTs here highly informative.

Lynn

P.S. CSCO closed at 34.08 today. Tomorrow, with any luck, CSCO might just reach the average of peoples' closing prices predictions for 12/31/07, $34.43:
