2016 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 12 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Handbook are used, we may expect the oil production to increase a little longer before it peaks. But changing the total available reserves from 3 × 1012 to 4 × 1012 bbl increases the predicted time of peak production by merely 11 years, from 2019 to 2030. IEA World Energy Outlook 2013 estimates that under one policy scenario the oil production will peak at about 91 million bbl/day in 2020 while another policy scenario puts the peak at 101 million bbl/day in 2035.
