Oil Innovations Pump New Life Into Old Wells:  Update on technologies for recovering the 2/3 of oil that conventional drilling leaves in the ground.  A theme covered in depth in the January 2001 Atlantic.   Bottom lines for me is that I don't believe we're close to peak oil as long as oil prices rise to pay for technology; and that $50 per barrel can fund a lot of secondary recovery technology to keep oil flowing.  Oil use should be cut for environmental and security reasons; economics and resource availability reasons will not help.
