OPEC production rises 1.6 MMBD over two months due to increased Saudi production. December 17: OPEC decides on a 14.5 percent price increase for 1979, to be implemented quarterly.
"Hubbert's peak" can refer to the peaking of production in a particular area, which has now been observed for many fields and regions. Hubbert's peak was thought to have been achieved in the United States contiguous 48 states (that is, excluding Alaska and Hawaii) in the early 1970s. Oil production peaked at 10.2 million barrels (1.62 × 10 ^ 6 m 3) per day in 1970 and then dec
