He finds that conservative (large) estimates of the total world Oil and Gas reserves place substantial constraints on the eventual CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. However unrestrained use of coal will put the world into dangerous a warming scenario."

The analysis finds a large fraction of the field is in terminal decline which explains why Saudi Arabia has been decreasing Oil Production over the past year, despite the substantial run up in Oil Prices. With Saudi Arabia in terminal decline it is likely the world has passed Peak Oil production."
