Recent events and analyses have suggested that global production of oil might peak sometime within the next few years to the next one or two decades. Other analyses, however, conclude that oil supply can meet global demand for some decades to come and that oil production peaking is much further off. To explore this issue, the NRC held a workshop, funded by the Department of Energy, bringing together analysts representing these different views. The workshop was divided into four main sessions: setting the stage; future global oil supply and demand balance; mitigation options and time to implementation; and potential follow-up activities. This report provides a summary of the workshop including the key points, issues and questions raised by the participants, and it identifies possible topics for follow-up studies. No consensus views, conclusions, or recommendations are presented.

Trends in Oil Supply and Demand, Potential for Peaking of Conventional Oil Production, and Possible Mitigation Options: A Summary Report of the Workshop
I found this book thought-provoking. It's a nice piece of thought leadership, although I don't necessarily agree with all of his trends. Here they are in a nutshell:
Part 1: Limits
1. China will get richer and then it will get poorer again.
2. The European Union will disintegrate as an economic entity.
Part 2: Obstacles
3. The new colonialism will leave the colonizers and the colonized worse off in the long term.
4. Changing immigration policies in rich countries will worsen the brain drain from poor countries even as they get richer.
5. The backlash against capitalism won't last but it won't be replaced by political stability either.
Part 3: Opportunities
6. Americans will become the world's sales force.
7. As the global economy integrates, the middle man will win.
8. The collapse of the World Trade Organization will unlock new gains from trade.
9. A new set of lifestyle hubs will replace today's business hubs.
Part 4: Risks
10. An enormous financial black market will arise outside of traditional centers.
11. Global warming will make rich countries cleaner and richer and poor countries dirtier and poorer.
12. The structure of political institutions will stop the world from solving its biggest problems.
