Ask the USGS

I recently learned that you can ask questions of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) staff.

askusgs@usgs.gov

My question: Are we running out of oil discoveries, or at least on the downslope of running out?

Hello-

Here's the latest Factsheet on world oil and gas reserves: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-062-03/. Gas has declined, but oil still appears to be on the "upslope."
