On se rapelle bien sur que le peakoil USA s' est produit en 1970 (et prédit par le celebre KingHubert). Et donc la production descend, lentement mais surement.
Sur Energy bulletin on trouve que le niveau de production est donc retombé à celui de 1946, certe aidé par l' affaiblissement de production du au dernier ouragan.

US oil production at lowest level since 1946-gov't
WASHINGTON, Oct 7 (Reuters) -
U.S. crude oil production this year is expected to fall below 5 million barrels per day for the first time since shortly after World War Two, the government's top energy forecasting agency said on Tuesday.
The lower output is due to hurricanes Gustav and Ike, which at one point shut in almost all the 1.3 million barrels a day in oil production in the Gulf of Mexico, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
About 45 percent of Gulf oil output is still offline weeks after the hurricanes struck.
In its latest monthly forecast, the EIA said combined offshore and onshore U.S. oil production should average 4.96 million barrels per day this year, down 100,000 barrels per day from last year and the lowest level since 1946.
Oil output is forecast to recover to 5.29 million barrels a day in 2009, but will still be far from U.S. peak production of 9.6 million barrels a day in 1970, the EIA said. (Reporting by Tom Doggett, editing by Matthew Lewis)

Et pour revisualiser la courbe de production qu' on a pas vu depuis un moment sur le forum, voici la courbe que j' ai récupérée depuis Wolf at the Door (mais qui s' arrete à 2003 visiblement) :

Quelqu' un aurait il une coube plus récente jusqu' à 2007 pour les USA ?
