Duncan and Walter Youngquist Presented at the PTTC Workshop "OPEC Oil Pricing and Independent Oil Producers" Petroleum Technology Transfer Council Petroleum Engineering Program University of Southern California Los Angeles, California October 22, 1998 Abstract The world oil production peak, we assume, will be a turning point in human history. Our goal is to predict the world peak. To accomplish this goal, we have developed (to our knowledge) a unique new procedure based on oil production data, data analysis, conventional formulas, and heuristic knowledge. It comprises (1) a program, and (2) a method. The program uses the historic oil production data and predicts by statistical and heuristic techniques future production for the world's 42 top oil-producing nations (each modeled separately), grouped into 7 regions, and the world. The method is to build up a series of forecasts which, taken together, will inevitably converge on the peak. This paper presents the third in this series of forecasts designated 'Issue #3.' The peak production year and the expected ultimate recovery for each nation, seven regions, and the world are given in Table 1. Figure 1 graphs the world oil production life-cycle with the peak in 2006. Table 2 gives similar information for each region. Figures 2-8 graph the life-cycle for each region with peaks from 1985 for North America to 2011 for the Middle East.
Fossil Fuel - Definition Of Fossil Fuel In Encyclopedia
fossil fuels are hydrocarboncontaining natural resources such as coal, petroleum For details on the subject see the article Abiogenic petroleum origin.
http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Fossil_fuel

Extractions: Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon -containing natural resources such as coal petroleum and natural gas . The utilization of fossil fuels has fueled industrial development and largely supplanted water driven mills, as well as the burning of wood or peat for heat. When generating electricity , energy from the combustion of fossil fuels is often used to power a turbine . Older generators used steam generated by the burning of the fuel to turn the turbine, but in newer power plants the gases produced by burning of the fuel turn a gas turbine directly. The burning of fossil fuels by humans is their major source of emissions of carbon dioxide which is one of the greenhouse gases that is believed to contribute to global warming . A small amount of hydrocarbon-based fuels are biofuels which are derived from atmospheric carbon dioxide and thus do not increase the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Extractions: "The claims which have traditionally been put forward to argue a connection between natural petroleum and biological matter have been subjected to scientific scrutiny and have been established to be baseless. The outcome of such scrutiny comes hardly as a surprise, given recognition of the constraints of thermodynamics upon the genesis of hydrocarbons. If liquid hydrocarbons might evolve from biological detritus in the thermodynamic regime of the crust of the Earth, we could all expect to go to bed at night in our dotage, with white hair (or, at least, whatever might remain of same), a spreading waistline, and all the undesirable decrepitude of age, and to awake in the morning, clear eyed, with our hair returned of the color of our youth, with a slim waistline, a strong, flexible body, and with our sexual vigor restored. Alas, such is not to be. The merciless laws of thermodynamics do not accommodate folklore fables. Natural petroleum has no connection with biological matter."

Darker Side of Convenience Throughout the Edo Period the Japanese were living only with solar energy. This was the case with all of humanity prior to the Industrial Revolution, which was founded in Britain and marked the beginning of the use of fossil fuels as the primary energy source, Japan began industrialization approximately one hundred years after Britain (around the late nineteenth century. Among all of the present so-called advanced nations, Japan was the last to use solar energy as its only energy source. Our ancestors built the unique Edo culture by utilizing stored solar energy (which had a maximum life of two years) and plants (which requires solar energy and is an indirect way solar energy was used). They also used solar energy directly. A haiku, attributed to Takeshi Ikeuki, reads:

In 1994-95, 98.5% of primary energy supply (that is, including exports) were from fossil fuels (80% from coal, 15% from petroleum and 3% from gas). There have been few major shifts towards renewable or to less-polluting energy sources. The exception is the rapid increase in the use of natural gas. It is expected that by 2009-10, natural gas will represent 28% of total consumption for Australia, up from 18% in 1995-96 ABARE 1997 NSW has vast resources of coal and it is the main fuel source for electricity generation in the state and an important export commodity.

Hillhouse Research Group Website 1. Limited Fossil Fuels, Growing Demand: When we pump up that gas in our cars, or use electricity in our homes, a significant part of which comes from coal fired power stations, or heat our homes using natural gas, little do we realize how short-lived these supplies are going to be. Man began using petroleum as source of energy a little over a century ago, and it is being predicted that global oil supplies will peak out in only about 10 years from now, according to a report by a team from Sweden's University of Uppsala New Scientist , 2 August 2003, p 8) . After this peak, the oil production will start falling, accompanied by a rise in the prices of oil. If we consider the invention of agriculture as the starting point of a settled human civilization, which occurred about 8,000 years ago, this period of 100 years is only a minuscule interval of time, within which we have exhausted almost all the petroleum reserves on the earth. The formation of the petroleum from organic matter took millions of years, which makes petroleum a very valuable source of energy. Man, however, has not shown any discretion in the use of this valuable resource. (

Extractions: Slide 5 of 21 Notes: As you know, Hawaii has no fossil fuels. Oil and coal must be imported. Petroleum comes into the state as either as crude oil or as refined products. The crude oil is refined at the two refineries on Oahu, which produce most of the oil products used in Hawaii. They obtained 30.7% of their crude oil from U.S. sources, principally Alaska, in 2000. The rest (approximately 70%) came mostly from Asia. The refined oil products brought into Hawaii also came from a variety of sources about 40% from the U.S. and the remainder (about 60%) principally from Asia. Coal met about 5% of Hawaiis energy needs in 2000. Most of the imported coal was used by AES Hawaii on Oahu. AES Hawaii brings its coal in from Indonesia under a long-term contract. Hilo Coast Power Company on Hawaii, and Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar on Maui import smaller amounts from Australia. The table shows amounts used in 2000. As you can see, only a small amount of the refined product came from the volatile Middle East. However, Indonesia, a prime supplier of both oil and coal, has had recent internal political instability.

Extractions: CHAPTER 13 THE ORIGINS OF FOSSIL FUELS "Science when well digested is nothing but good sense and reason" - Stanislaus, King of Poland: Maxims, No.43. By now we have set the scene for a more detailed look at the origin of fossil fuels. Of course, the main fossil fuels are coal, mineral oil, and natural gas, with a few less important sources such as lignite, bitumen, and tar sands. The outstanding feature of all fossil fuels is that they contain a lot of carbon. Coal is especially rich, with up to 95%. The others are mainly hydrocarbons, compounds of carbon with hydrogen, sometimes with other elements present, but even in these the proportion of carbon is high, around 82-87% by weight. About Coal Coal was one of the earliest minerals to be be developed in today's technological society, in fact it was one of the main props for the Industrial Revolution, which started in Britain. Britain has considerable coal deposits and a long history of geological discovery, so the nature of coal deposits in that country have become known in great detail. Figure 13.1 (taken from the 1875 Encyclopaedia Britannica) shows the various geological strata found in conjunction with the Coal Measures of different parts of Britain. The actual coal seams vary in thickness from a mere film to as much as 15 metres. In other parts of the world even thicker seams have been found, as in the south of France and in India, up to 60m thick or more.

Extractions: Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Friday, April 2, 2004 by the San Francisco Chronicle Fossil-Fuel Dependency - Do Oil Reserves Foretell Bleak Future? by Alejandro Eggers Moreno Gasoline prices have reached their highest mark ever in the United States just as oil giant Royal Dutch/Shell has slashed its petroleum reserve estimates by 20 percent, after a monumental accounting scandal. While soaring prices at the pump have the public worried about another 1970s-style oil crisis, waiting in line might ultimately be the least of our concerns. An increasing number of prominent petroleum geologists including many former oil company employees have warned that official estimates of available global oil reserves are dangerously exaggerated. They may well be right. For energy companies such as Shell, proven oil and gas reserves are their primary indicator of economic health. They have every incentive to boost reserve estimates; the more oil they can claim, the more competitive and attractive to shareholders they appear. But private companies are not the only ones with an incentive to inflate estimates. In the mid 1980s, OPEC decided to factor in member states' reserves when determining their market share. Global oil reserves jumped overnight. Today, the more oil a country can claim the methods each uses to determine this are a closely guarded secret the more influence it has on the global energy scene. As a result, say the geologists, there may be considerably less oil in the world than the oil-producing countries and energy companies claim, and global oil production could peak far sooner than expected some predict as early as 2010. Once that happens, getting at the remaining oil becomes increasingly difficult and expensive. For an economy still reliant on fossil fuels, the effects would be catastrophic. As the oil supply shrinks, essential petroleum-dependent products (that is, nearly everything in modern society, from transportation to electricity to basic foodstuffs) are rendered either unavailable or unaffordable. Eventually, as companies such as Shell employ even more complex and invasive drilling techniques, the energy required to extract a barrel of oil exceeds the amount it can generate, and oil ceases altogether to be an energy source.
