Black Gold! Okay you have a hole in the ground now what? Build a pipeline? That could be expensive infrastructure and an environmental disaster (face it, they always leak sometime). I suspect power lines are cheaper than pipelines, they also never make toxic spills so are easier to get approved (native and environmental groups won't complain). Power lines are also useful for more than one industry. More power infrastructure is always a good thing.

Ecocharger + 1,486 DL March 21 Oil is clearly the future. Demand for oil is ramping up there is no stopping it, not even the wildest dreams of Biden & Co. can stop the progress and the necessity of oil. Biden even pleaded with the oil companies to increase oil production, so now he has his wish. American oil production is at an all-time high, necessary to meet growing demand. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/StanChart-Oil-Demand-Set-for-All-Time-High-in-May.html "Also supporting crude prices is stronger-than-expected demand with commodity analysts at Standard Chartered noting that energy markets kicked off the new year with an overly pessimistic view of oil demand. Following the release of the latest Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI) report on Monday, StanChart estimates that January demand clocked in at 100.24 million barrels per day (mb/d), good for a 2.67 mb/d year-over-year increase." "StanChart says demand indications remain robust, and have predicted that global demand will hit a new all-time high of 103.01 mb/d in May, a record which will be broken in June and again in August when demand is expected to clock in at 103.62 mb/d and 104.31 mb/d, respectively.

Нежелательно касаться лунки языком, дав сформироваться кровяному сгустку. По той же причине рекомендуется не принимать пищу на протяжении 3-4 часов после посещения стоматолога. Необходимо некоторое время воздерживаться от горячей еды и напитков, а также алкоголя. Несоблюдение рекомендации приведет к увеличению периода заживления и болезненным ощущениям.Качественно и безопасно вырвать зуб в Минске можно платно. Цена удаления зуба в стоматологии зависит от количества корней, расположения, сложности удаления. Операция проводится квалифицированными хирургами-стоматологами. От всей души Вам всех благ!

Been a while since I read their reserves equation on said formation. Current recovery ratio's last I read were over 1:15 and the depth of the tar sands is well over 3000ft on an incline of about 30-->45 degrees. This means the Tar sands, should one wish to actually recover more of the Goop, is actually Several Trillion barrels of oil.

One can only wish for best towards the United Kingdom, limited resources are indeed perilous. How does being "energy rich" have anything to do with your ageing electricity infrastructure??? This is what was being discussed and you then go off on a tangent about gas reserves and thren get mixed up with oil reserves. WE WERE DISCUSSING ELECTRICTY GRID INFRASTRUCTURE FFS! It doesnt matter how much "energy" youve got if you cant transport the electricity once generated! "Much of the U.S. electric grid was built in the 1960s and 1970s. While the system has been improved with automation and some emerging technologies, our aging infrastructure is struggling to meet our modern electricity needs, such as renewable energy resources and growing building and transportation electrification. For example, 70 percent of transmission lines are over 25 years old and approaching the end of their typical 50–80-year lifecycle. This has major consequences on our communities: power outages, susceptibility to cyber-attacks, or community emergencies caused by faulty grid infrastructure." What does it take to modernize the U.S. electric grid? | Department of Energy If youre honest with yourselves its gonna take a lot of $$$$$ to upgrade your grid to meet future demand and be cyber secure. Energy reserves in any form wont make a blind bit of difference to Joe public when the lights keep going off! Edited March 21 by Rob Plant 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Largest Ever U.S. Shale Oil Deposit Identified in Texas The Wolfcamp shale, which underlies a large swath of Texas roughly centered on the city of Midland, contains 20 billion barrels of oil that could be recovered with current technology. https://eos.org/articles/largest-ever-u-s-shale-oil-deposit-identified-in-texas We now have Bakken formation...Fracking seems to have changed the game. Total organic carbon (TOC) within the shales may be as high as 40%, with estimates of total hydrocarbon generation across the entire Bakken Formation ranging from 200 to 400 billion barrels. While the formation is productive in numerous reservoirs throughout Montana and North Dakota, with the Elm Coulee Field in Montana and the Parshall area in North Dakota being the most prolific examples of Bakken success, many Bakken wells have yielded disappointing results. While variable productivity within a play is nothing unusual to the petroleum industry, the Bakken play is noteworthy because of the wide variety of approaches and technologies that have been applied with apparently inconsistent and all too often underachieving results. This project will implement a robust, systematic, scientific, and engineering research effort to overcome these challenges and unlock the vast resource potential of the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin. https://netl.doe.gov/node/3833 Edited March 22 by Eyes Wide Open Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "proved" reserves are an absurd joke. For 80 years USA had 30Billion barrels of oil "proved reserves" USA to date has pumped over 200Billion barrels of oil. The only "proved reserves" which are ever stated in a companies books are ONLY the minimum reserves they are forced to say they have by law to placate certain bureaucrats. The only reason the USA total "proved" reserves has increased is because the NUMBER of companies with oil reserves has increased due to new blood due to fracking as the old boys were SSLOWWWW to the party.
