In this 2nd article on the ASPO 2010 conference we have a look at Chris Skrebowski’s graphs

and his video http://tv.peak-oil.org/chris-skrebowski-the-peak-oil-picture/
in which he uses a list of oil megaprojects (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_megaprojects ) to calculate additional oil production capacities for the next years, comparing them with the decline in existing fields:
The year in which net capacity additions intersect with a worsening depletion curve is 2012. Another critical year is 2014 after which the current production plateau comes to an end. These are the details by type of oil:
Chris rightly predicted the 2008 oil crunch in April 2005:
Interview with Julian Darley
Chris: “It certainly looks as though after about 2008 it really doesn’t add up”

The overall outlook of the Energy Information Administration of the US Department of Energy shows there are many “unidentified” projects which are needed to offset the decline after 2012
In order to show what that means, this is a graph from the 2009 ASPO conference:
