Oh, there are plenty of specific posts, but they are buried in the usual back and forth that goes on around here.

I have these publications. Just tell me how to get them to you. Glad to have your feedback.
I'm particularly interested in the first one you mentioned. Can you get it in PDF form, upload it somewhere and PM me a link? However, if you would like another to ponder over that addresses eroei within a empirical global context more similar to how peakers have attempted to use eroei to declare doom (the routine that short tried out around here before tucking tail and running), this one was recently published and is far more inclusive than one interested in just a few Middle Eastern fields.

From 1981 no less! Seminal indeed.
All scientists start somewhere. This was the beginning of Charlies work.

Seminal work matters. Hubbert's first call for US peak oil in 1950 (which he did in 1938), the beginnings of the symetrical profile in the late 1940's, and then the 1956 origin of the modern church of peak oil. I have spent a little time going through Charlie's evolution as well, after the net energy topic became popular after the rate/time scheme drove most McPeaksters back under their rocks.
