Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of extraction of petroleum is reached, after which the rate of production is expected to enter terminal decline. There is a general consensus between industry leaders and analysts that world oil production has/will peak between 2010 and 2030. Many oil producing countries have already experienced peak oil.
This map shows which countries have peaked and which have yet to peak. It shows the estimated years of peak oil production for the top 25 oil producing countries in the world today.

Meanwhile in reality… just last year the United States produced more oil than it did during it’s “peak” in 1970. Lolz.

Perhaps a bit inaccurate given unconventional sources of oil becoming more retrievable.
