Go back in history and see if there are any other 3 year periods that are essentially flat.
One thing that is never written about is that the record keeping in just about every country except the US is HORRIBLE and very inaccurate. Our intelligence agencies try to predict production from satellite photos, talk about a guess! The FSU area has a lot of production but figuring out what the numbers are is impossible.
Actually in the US, some states have prehistoric record keeping as well. West Virginia comes to mind.

Interestingly enough, the article you referenced is from 2005. Looks like Peak Oil, smells like Peak Oil...
