In a comment to the IEA repport "World Energy Outlook" the CEO of statoil (www.statoil.com) Helge Lund, said that "All the easy barrels have been taken", and that we are now down to developing such things as LNG, Gass to oil, oilsands in the future.
He also said that "although Peak Oil is a moving target, one thing is certain, and that is that one day the peak oil-theorists will be right".
On the other side of the argument he claimed that the world will have enough resources until 2030.
So the man is giving some mixed messages, but signifficantly more on the negative side than earlier.
