Hubbert Peak Theory

Definition

A theory named after M. King Hubbert that states the production rate of a given oil field will follow a bell curve. This means that the most production will tend to be in the middle of the oil reserve's life cycle. This is used by oil companies to estimate future oil production based on current production.
