Production from the field peaked in 1979 at 500 thousand barrels per day (79 thousand cubic metres per day), well above early predictions. The Forties field produced 41,704 barrels of oil and 10million cubic feet of associated gas per day during as of November 2013. It was the second highest producing field in the UK, after the Buzzard field. [14]

The 1980s oil glut was a significant surplus of crude oil caused by falling demand following the 1970s energy crisis.The world price of oil had peaked in 1980 at over US$35 per barrel (equivalent to $129 per barrel in 2023 dollars, when adjusted for inflation); it fell in 1986 from $27 to below $10 ($75 to $28 in 2023 dollars).
Daily oil consumption by region from 1980 to 2006. This is a list of countries by oil consumption. [1] [2] In 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced that the total worldwide oil consumption would rise by 2% [3] year over year compared to 2021 despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

1980s: Cogeneration hastens the spread of steam recovery projects, which dramatically ramp up oil production. 1985: Kern County reaches an all-time production high of 256 million barrels of oil/year. At the same time, California reaches an all-time production high of 424 million barrels of oil/year.
In 2008, oil prices rose briefly, to as high as $145 per barrel, [25] and U.S. gasoline prices jumped from $1.37 to $2.37 per gallon in 2005, [26] causing a search for alternate sources, and by 2012, less than half the US oil consumption was imported. However, as of January 2015, the price of oil has decreased to around $50 per barrel. [27]
The United States Department of Energy projects that domestic consumption of synthetic fuel made from coal and natural gas will rise to 3.7 million barrels (590,000 m 3) per day in 2030 based on a price of $57 per barrel of high sulfur crude (Annual Energy Outlook 2006, Table 14, pg52).
The production capacity was 150,000 barrels (24,000 m 3) per day and 8.5 million standard cubic metres of gas per day. There were three production trains each with four stages of separation with the first stage separators operating at a pressure of 9.6 bar. The 14 subsea storage cells had a capacity of 400,000 barrels (64,000 m 3).
