摘要：This letter requests the energy modelling community to move rapidly to understand depletion of the world’s conventional oil and gas, so that significant effort can be put into analysis of the problems that arise.
There are two very different views about the seriousness of conventional oil and gas depletion. One view maintains that the resource-limited peak in the global production of conventional oil is near, and that the corresponding peak for conventional gas is within sight. The other view sees no near-term resource limits to either oil or gas supply, and fears that if society listens to the ‘near-term peakers’ damaging economic policies will result.
