Eric Gagen + 713 February 10, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, kshithij Sharma said: Yes OPEC only considers crude oil production, not the condensate. Attached is the annual production data of OPEC since 1960 to 2020. KSA production has been very low in 1950s and you can take entire KSA oil production prior to 1960 as 3GBL. Simple formula for calculating cumulative oil production in MBL is to sum all annual production and multiply it by 0.365 (use this formula in excel =SUM(B64:BJ64)*0.365). The link for data is table 3.5 in : https://asb.opec.org/data/ASB_Data.php T35.xlsx 49.95 kB · 0 downloads That might account for both issues - KSA produces a lot of condensate, and Ghawar is a major contributor to that volume - I don't have exact data on the Ghawar condensate production, but it is very significant, and unlike some other areas where the gas is flared, reinjected, or used in field duties, the gas from Ghawar is sent through proper gas plants and used for the grid in Saudi Arabia - this results in the condensate being recovered, and a lot of places count condensate as part of crude, since it is a liquid, and in many cases is sent to refineries as a blendstock with other crudes for gasoline production. Another 'wild card' in Saudi reserves and production numbers is how the PNZ (Partitioned Neutral Zone) production and reserves are accounted for between it and Kuwait.

"Robert the Bruce, who failed in war but who is remembered for the phrase: “If at first you don’t succeed: try, try again!” Bruce was King of Scotland in the 14th century, fighting long battles with the English for control of Scotland. He was defeated in battle many times and eventually ran away to a remote island off the coast of Ireland where he lived in a cave. One day, while sitting depressed in the corner of the cave, he watched a spider trying to start to weave a web. The spider launched itself across the cave to reach the other side and start to spin the web. Time and time again the spider failed to reach the other side of the cave, almost reaching his goal. But it didn’t give up and kept trying. After many attempts, it was successful, clung onto the other side of the cave and started to spin its web." Here endeth the lesson! I should know better than to ever bother making a basic engineering point in an online convo.... If you can't figure it out...well... enjoy doing the same shit over and over again pouring $$$ down a drain on that which YOU KNOW does Shit all other than confirming once again, you know Shit all other than we need several fundamental breakthroughs before trying the concept again.

Ecocharger + 1,475 DL February 10, 2022 (edited) The renewable energy sector has now hit the expected brick wall in cost run-ups o scarce inputs, and that will increasingly be a deadweight burden dragging down the dreams of Green fanatics. https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Renewable-Energy/Outlook-For-Utility-Scale-Renewables-Sours-After-Record-Year.html "Despite record capacity additions in 2022, the outlook is not all positive. Projects expected to start construction this year will face challenging economics, delays and even cancellation risks. For instance, rising steel prices are already having an impact on onshore wind projects, and utility-scale solar PV developers are concerned about surging commodity prices, signaling a potential downturn at least for the first half of the year,” says Gero Farruggio, head of renewables research with Rystad Energy. The first sign of dark clouds on the horizon is the projected fall in large-scale renewable capacity breaking ground in 2022 versus 2021. A decrease in project start-ups is expected in 2022, mainly due to rising steel prices that have constrained onshore wind projects, as the cost of steel accounts for almost 70% of the final price of wind installations. The utility PV industry may also come under pressure, at least during the first half of the year, with developers keeping a close eye on commodity price spikes. However, increased polysilicon manufacturing capacity – projected to surpass 1 million tonnes per year in 2022 – will provide some respite to prices following a 300% spike in 2021."

Jay McKinsey + 1,490 February 10, 2022 (edited) Global EV sales took a giant leap in both volume and market share in 2021, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). Automakers sold 6.6 million plug-in vehicles in 2021, more than double the 3 million sold in 2020, and more than triple the 2.2 million sold in 2019, according to the IEA. The broader definition of EVs as battery electric plus plug-in hybrids also claimed about 9% of the global new-car market, up from 4.1% in 2020 and 2.5% in 2019, the IEA said. While global EV market share is still fairly small, this is a major increase from 10 years ago, when just 130,000 EVs were sold globally, the IEA noted. The organization also found that all net growth in global car sales in 2021 came from EVs. Global EV sales and market share 2010-2021 (from IEA report) China led global EV growth in 2021 as sales nearly tripled to 3.4 million, according to the IEA. United States EV sales also surged in 2021, despite supply chain issues, more than doubling to surpass half a million Edited February 10, 2022 by Jay McKinsey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make Way For The French Nuclear Power Renaissance French President Emmanuel Macron has called for 13 new nuclear reactors in what he called a "renaissance" of the country's nuclear power industry. France, like its European peers, have ambitious plans to move away from fossil fuels. For some, it means an aggressive plan to shift away from natural gas and crude oil and toward wind, solar, geothermal, or hydrogen. For other European countries, it includes a robust nuclear power program. In the coming years, France will "need to produce a lot more electricity," Macron said in a speech on Thursday at a turbine plant. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Make-Way-For-The-French-Nuclear-Power-Renaissance.html Edited February 11, 2022 by Eyes Wide Open 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OPINION: Biden’s Green New Deal inflicts a hefty price on consumers Oil companies had reportedly found massive new deposits of oil in the Arctic and on other federal lands that would, if developed, give our country greater oil reserves than OPEC and Russia combined. The Keystone XL Pipeline and the new oil and gas reserves would have brought our country massive new wealth and many tens of thousands of high-paying jobs. This would also have kept our energy costs low. Low energy cost leaves more money in the hands of people and businesses. That stimulates our economy. Immediately after taking office, Biden stopped construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, banned oil exploration in the Arctic and stopped nearly all oil and natural gas exploration on federal lands. Now we are paying dearly for his actions. A year ago, I was paying around $2.20 a gallon for gas. Now I am paying almost $3.40 per gallon. On my recent Thanksgiving trip to eastern Washington, I paid more than $4 a gallon at several gas stations.

Saudi minister himself has stated that Ghawar is undergoing EOR and its extraction level has increased to over 55% of oil in place. So, Ghawar production is indeed getting thin. Nevertheless it accounts to over 170GBL oil in place and 55+% will mean 95-100GBL can be extracted from it. Even if it produces 3 Mbpd oil, it can last 95-100 years. So, there is still a long way to go before it completely goes depleted. That is possible but is a safety hazard. Nuclear heat can't be diverted without increasing risk of safety Well, USA is known for its thirst for oil and being predominantly a petrostate. USA was also in full panic mode after 1973 embargo. Also, by 1980, all the technology currently used in oil exploration had been invented and hence the exploration results were very accurate. So, I am pretty confident that more discoveries are unlikely in areas where USA had free hand in oil exploration as USA being a petrostate does a very thorough job when it comes to oil exploration. Nuclear heat is safe, when there is no radiation in it. Commonly used for district heating in Russia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
