  3. Peak Oil is also a result of oil depletion. This is when there is an overall increase in the consumption/usage of oil. For example, for the use of fuel in cars. This will lead to oil becoming scarce, which in turn will decrease the amount of oil supply in the world. Peak Oil will then be the production of oil will decline.
