Many of my predictions about the US gov't shutting down the economy were contained in my comments for Title 17 US Code reprints of major news stories. We don't have the ability to make those available to you but we have them. If you want to search for places where I discussed it, I suggest that you enter the term "demand destruction" in the Exact Phrase mode of the search engine. Also look for the words"looting" and "liquidation". Then go back and read GlobalCorp and --off the top of my head -- "As the World Burns" from 2004.

Demand destruction is what this is all about, not just for oil but for almost all commodities. If (as an example) the world consumed 85 mbpd this year, the economic crash may result in demand reduction to 79-80 mbpd next year. Coincidentally, that will probably match what global decline rates allow the world to produce. The severity of the crash still in progress leads me to suspect that decline rates are actually much steeper than acknowledged.

-- Oh, how I wish we had the NEPDG report.

Hope this helps.
