I read Deffeyes' Hubbert's Peak a few months ago. I thought he made a pretty good case for the peak in world oil production occurring within the next decade, and decreasing inexorably after that. I know arguments from authority aren't absolutely convincing, but this guy is a geologist who makes a living finding oil. What's wrong with his analysis?
