The EIA publishes World C+C Annual Production as part of its International Energy Statistics. The data goes back to 1980 and includes OPEC countries as well as Non-OPEC. I have plotted annual production for the 37 largest producers plus one titled “Other” which is the sum of all the other small producers not plotted. I have also included annual charts for World, OPEC, Non-OPEC plus a couple of others.
Most of the charts are non-zero based because I chose to empathize production change over total production. Non-OPEC charts are shown first. If a country had no production in 1980 then the data starts the first year of production. All chart data is thousand barrels per day.
Non-OPEC
OPEC
And just two more:

The world production looks dramatically different than what the mid 2000s peakers predicted. We were supposed to be in decline for the last 10 years from a 2005 peak. Should be down below 60 now per their forecasts. And it just shows they are not scientific but are mystical in that they don’t revisit those old predictions.
And the Staniford-Simmons Saudi Arabia conspiracy nuts look pretty silly too.

I am a Muslim from Saudi Arabia and in our Islamic teaching we can not talk any bad thing about the dead.
Although Mr. Simmons attacked Saudi Arabia heavily but since he died we can only pray to God to forgive him and bless his soul.

It should be noted that this is C+C. It doesn’t include All Liquids. Total production for the world is about 91 million boepd.

Nony and how much debt do oi companies have to maintain production at those levels?
Nony on Sat, 2nd May 2015 11:42 am
as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck would.
But seriously, why should you care? It’s the free market.
GregT on Sat, 2nd May 2015 12:13 pm
The free market doesn’t exist anymore Nony. It is nothing more than a figment of your imagination.
GregT on Sat, 2nd May 2015 12:18 pm
So Danixyz,
Once condensates and BOE both peak, what do you propose that we add to the mix to keep the numbers up? Animal flatulence?
Brent on Sat, 2nd May 2015 12:35 pm
Ok Nony if it was the free market then all those oil companies would go out of business and then watch oil production really drop. Thus peak oil.

Nony and how much debt do oi companies have to maintain production at those levels?
“Add in syndicated bank loans and total borrowing by the oil-and-gas sector rose to $2.5 trillion at the end of 2014, up from $1 trillion of outstanding debt at the end of 2006, according to the Switzerland-based Bank for International Settlements. It has warned that an “oil-debt nexus” could create a vicious circle whereby overindebted companies pump more oil to ensure they can pay interest on their loans, adding to the current global oil glut, and further depressing energy prices…”
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-28/debt-pile-fuel-further-oil-price-pressure
Between 2006, and 2014 debt held by the industry was increasing by about $250 billion per year. With prices now down 40%, to maintain the same production level, would require an increase of their debt load by at least $3 trillion per year (assuming cost could be cut by 17% across the board). For a $3.5 trillion per year industry, that would wipe them out in very short order if it continues.
Obviously, it can not continue, and producers will be forced to massacre large portions of their capacity to maintain enough cash flow to keep in business. We expect production to follow the projected price curve down over the next 5 years, with a year, or two lag:

Wonder Boy or otherwise known as The NOo the reason we should be concerned about oil company debt is they are responsible for delivering a foundational commodity critical to everyone’s life. IOW oil companies are holding our collective hearts on the operating table. Does it get any more significant than that?

Plenty left to kill us all.
Whoopie we are all going to die.

Well animal and human waste is a possibility however I will let some else work out the details.
I would think a lot of localized solutions would start to make sense. Like hydroelectric works in the northwest but not so much in the southwest. However solar makes sense in the southwest but less in the northwest.
There is a lot of oil shale (kerogen) in Colorado and Utah. At the right price coal gassification might work. If all else fails there is still nuclear.
All of these have problems such as high cost, pollution and global warming but energy is so vital to society some solutions will be found. Who knows we may even start to waste less energy.
GregT on Sat, 2nd May 2015 4:02 pm
Modern industrial Human society is not vital to our survival, the environment however, is. All of the energy that we ever needed was provided to us by the Sun, mostly in the form of photosynthesis. All forms of human energy production are contributing to the destruction of the natural environment. The solution is simple, we either learn to live within the confines of the natural environment as stewards of the Earth, or we continue to destroy the biosphere and face unimaginable consequences, up to, and very likely including, our own extinction as a species.
BC on Sat, 2nd May 2015 7:43 pm
Global oil (all sources) production is down PER CAPITA since 2005-08. Then adjust for the RATE OF CHANGE OF GROWTH PER CAPITA since 2005-08 in NET ENERGY (COST OF ENERGY TO EXTRACT ENERGY PER CAPITA) TERMS, and we (90%+ of us) are simply f&$ked, and it’s not the version that will feel good.
Naturally, we resist internalizing the facts and the mathematical, thermodynamic, and exergetic implications, as we fear “the dark”, i.e., what we don’t understand and are thus conditioned so:

This is in the context that thought cannot perceive/experience perpetually its own ending, therefore, thought cannot conceive of “the thinker” that thought creates and perceives the end of “the thinker thinking in perpetuity”, i.e., “eternity”, “Heaven and Hell”, “Paradise”, reincarnation, etc.
Fade to black (“reality” of the human body/brain/mind, i.e., Zen “no-thing”, “emptiness”, “the Void”, “One”, “Sandman” wake me/us, “the eyes of a stranger”, etc.):

I guess I’m not quite that pessimistic. It takes a big event to get people to change their minds, but once that happens they can, and do, change their ways. Meanwhile we will just keep on keeping on.

Danlxyz, You need an uninterrupted supply of water for hydro electric. I live in BC and 75% of our electricity is produced from hydro. Unfortunately, the reservoirs are glacier fed and they are all melting. The hoover dam could stop producing electricity as soon as this summer. The California drought is actually encompassing the entire west. Ones feelings – pessimism or optimism have no bearing on physics, chemistry, biology – we did what we did and are getting the consequences on a scheduled and degree of severity that is not in our hands at all. We forfeited any say in that by our greed, hubris and ignorance.
Glaciers, BC Hydro’s Melting ‘Batteries’
Scientists are trying to figure out how rising temps will change the alpine run-off that helps power the province. (this was from 2012 – we now know the melting is coming faster than we thought then)
