Might i say that even though middle east is running out of oil(sooner or later). It has the advantage of nearly 365 days of sun, the most promising renewable energy source.
Venezuela and Canada will never be able to replace the rate of depletion we will see (and ARE seeing) from the past-peak fields in the coming next few years. Lastly, it doesn't matter how many gigabarrels of oil any field has if it takes a barrel to extract a barrel.
The bitumen in Canada and Venezuela can not be scaled up anywhere near enough in the next 10-15 years to make much of a difference. Venezuela haven't even started on it yet, even though their bitumen is of better quality as it flows more easily and has less sulphur in it.
I've read that the tar sand oil is hard to get and extremely polluting process. but hey, why not spend a barrell to get a barrell? and maybe pollute Alberta.
i dont think it will be that soon though... i mean the tar sands in canada and venezuala have hardly been tapped. each with a projected reserve of 1 trillion+ barrels.

production has been flat for almost 4 years now,
looks to me like we are there.

oil production will peak (every expert says its different from the 1980's oil hike)...but when? nobody knows
