Is The Earth Actually Running Out Of Oil? | The Struggle For Oil | Spark

Ғылым және технология

Recently the Colonial Pipeline in Texas was hacked by cyber-criminals that shutdown fuel and gasoline supplies in America. Oil is precious commodity that is essential to human society but as the planet looks towards ecological alternatives, how in danger are we are running out of oil before it's too late?

    The "Baaken Formation", eastern Montana western Dakotas, and up into Saskatchawan is three layers. The uppermost layer, which is currently under development, is estimated to contain enough oil for 200 years at present levels of consumption in U.S. That's not counting Alaska north slope oil, Gulf of Mexico oil, Wyoming , Utah., California oil, or Pennsylvania oil..

That is NOT where oil is naturally located, but rather in porous rock formations of sandstone, limestone and other similar sedimentary rocks. What is left behind when it become uneconomic to extract oil from a field is rather like a solid sponge which has been relieved of perhaps a half or two thirds of what once saturated it. There are no "voids"

It's in quotes - because its from you. I'll tell you why its not the case. Firstly - it's nowhere near the loudest sound ever produced; secondly - If it was loud enough to make them bleed out of every orifice (or even just one) they would never make it to the beach. Thirdly - there are boats that scan the area prior to using guns and yes the operation gets halted if so. I'm not suggesting that every operator complies but this documentary is so full of holes & bias it's unreal. I prefer truth so people can come to their own correct conclusions.

    Besides the obvious atmospherics carbon problem there's is this issue of major value being deposited in a few countries which for the most part don't distribute fairly. I can image energy production being localized as these new technology come on line, thus freeing vast amounts of capital value to local economies. One can can imagine at that point the capital values switch to companies that produce equipment/technology.. instead of actual material its mind and creativity. Perhaps this has always been the greatest capital anyways.

    Before cars, oil was used for kerosene, to light lamps and cities, that is until electric lights and power generation came into being. Then the internal combustion engine was invented, and a new use for the oil was created, much to Rockefeller's delight. Gasoline is created as a byproduct of refining oil to kerosene, so they didn't really know what to do with it, except burn it off. The very first cars were electric, but that was abandoned to use the ICE powered by gasoline. Side note; The Teamsters were the guys that used mule drawn wagons to transport the oil from well to refinery. It was the only aspect of the business that Rockefeller was unable to buy up and take over.

    It might also have an electromagnetic cause based on the high magnetic fields discovered around the areas… Magnetic fields are caused by electrical currents, and only electrical currents, which may be transferred electrically from the sun into the upper atmosphere from the ionosphere right through to the upper crust, heating as well as increasing the pressure needed to create oil from hydrocarbons? Various parts of this theory have been measured and verified independent of each other in separate experiments and measurements, but not as a whole as to be scientifically verifiable. (I’m speaking about the transfer of electrical fields from the sun to and throughout the earth’s atmosphere and into the crust being measured and verified, not the oil being created by the electric fields within the crust, in case that wasn’t made clear? However, that being said, oil and coal can be created in the laboratory by heat and pressure from hydrocarbons, such as algae etc.)

Alberta has such a strategic reserve of 600 billion+ barrels that have sat untouched since its discovery in 1985 and we're not talking about Oil Sands deposits.

Of this total, only 170 billion barrels are viable with today's technology for extraction in terms of economic gain for investors, ie this still leaves out 1.33 trillion barrels of oil contained in the tar sands. We can also mention that the US has an estimated 4 trillion barrels of oil contained in shale formations spread across the continental part of the country but only a small fraction of these 4 trillion barrels is viable for extraction in economic terms. There is a lot of oil in the subsoil of the Arctic Ocean that has not even been touched and that can reach a total reserve equivalent to 800 billion barrels.

    I keep thinking back to a show from many years ago that proved that increasing efficiency in all aspects of oil production, oil usage, industrial investment in manufacturing, travel etc etc will offset global usage, global population growth etc and the use of renewable energies again will offset depletion of existing fields. Plus other eye opening fields of study on this subject. I'm not talking about efficiency for companies to make marginal and incremental attempts that help the bottom line. These are industry wide monumenal changes in every aspect of life and work in all fields industry and travel and governments world wide. But. There's always a but. Easy oil is the destroyer of these innovations. Despite what they say, it OPEC being the chief culprit. Whenever the subject of critical mass of oil production has hit. Somehow they find a way. Suddenly finding a way to hit new highs and lower prices and suddenly it's not so urgent. Taking away the incentive to make these required changes for long lasting supply without the need to go deeper, further into the territory of catastrophic unnatural disasters far worse than we've faced thus far. I've been searching unsuccessfully for the show. If anyone knows please let me know. Would love to see again and share their findings, unless these unscrupulous types have had it cancelled.

    @Harold Bates Have you bothered checking well production figures from the mid 70s up until now? US oil production did indeed peak in the mid 70s and started a declining trend that's still very real today. Check the current production figures for the wells that were doing great back in the 70s (the ones that are still active, that is), see if you can spot the trend. Now, what happened in 2010? The fracking fever generated a new peak in production, which surpassed that of the 1970s. However, keep in mind that fracking is only viable in the short term. It is known that fracking operations decline in production, rather quickly and abruptly. How long do you reckon the fracking peak will last? How long until production levels fall back down, to values consistent with known depletion rates? Expecting unlimited (and profitable) oil extraction is like draining water from a lake faster than it can be replenished: it'll eventually "dry up". Now, let's assume for a moment that these Russian scientists are correct in their hypothesis that oil is naturally created in the mantle... so what? If the replenishment process takes too long (centuries, millennia or longer), it's no use to humans. If the replenishment process can only take place in specific places, under specific conditions, it still won't cut it. Do you think these Austrians would be going through the trouble of digging 6km and watering down their well to 90+% if they had an alternative? 🤣 Do you think companies like Shell would be prospecting oceanic and arctic wells if there were easier/cheaper options available? 🤣 What I see here is an entire industry gone mad with desperation, after coming to grips with the fact that the profitability of their existing wells has a definite expiration date.

Somewhere at or before that point countries lacking oil will invade other countries with oil. I also believe that oil reserves could be much greater than they are publicly stated for strategic reasons. A good article to read is one titled Growing Fuel which was in a fall 2007 issue of National Geographic. It’s a long article which went over many plants as sources but one stood out way over corn ethanol and other and that was sugar cane ethanol which had an 8x return on input.
