Yay!  We have succesfully delayed peak oil because of technology specifically fracking.  I argue that we supercharged our economy coming out of the 2008 financial collapse because of sound monetary policy AND additional cheap oil through technology.
That bought us time to use the fossil fuels to create wind and solar that are cheaper than building a new coal or oil fired plant.  
There is a different definition of "peak oil" I would call the environmental limit.  If we pulled every barrel out of the ground for energy usage (we will still drill for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, fertilizer and hopefully less plastics) burning that coal, oil, and even gas would push us to 4C-5C warming.
The Faustian bargain - where we allowed ships to use bunker fuel heavy in sulphates - has allowed us to get to 2024 with only 2C of warming since 1750.  Otherwise, if we would have cleaned sulphates out of fuel in the 1970s, hundreds of thousands or millions of people would not have died of asthma and related disorders from dirty fuels BUT the lack of aerosols would have got us to 1.5C as early as 1980.
We now see that the albedo has significantly changed since those cargo ships (you could see the exhaust from space) are no longer producing aerosols and burning cleaner fuels.
Add in the excess methane that has escaped from abandoned coal mines, bad gas lines in Azerbaijan (we can see methane plumes from space with the recent satellite but unfortunately the sulphate satellite never was launched to measure aerosols) and fracking has pushed us over the "environmental" peak oil.  The CO2 plus CH4 is about 550ppm equivalent or 3-4W/m^2 of forcing. Geoengineering, an unproven Hail Mary, is our only hope of stopping global warming at 2C today.
I want to speculate that if we do develop a new sources of energy at scale like fusion, cheaper nuclear (at scale,) cracking water into hydrogen and oxygen, or biofuels (at scale) we will supercharge our economy for decades while reducing inflation costs (energy is 90 percent of the cost of food farm to table from pesticides to fertilizer to transport to refrigeration to store food) and the obvious bring down energy costs.
