Crisis or aberration debate begins.
Natural gas prices rip through $3 on way to $10.
Oil price rises from $10 in January 1999 to $37 in
October 2000. Blackouts in summer of 1999 led to explosion of new
power plants.
Enron blows up power industry.

Digitized oil fields still need people and iron.
Conceptual energy is a great concept.
Usable energy is a physical reality.
Demand can grow.

Is The World Entering Peak Oil And Gas?Is The World Entering Peak Oil And Gas?
What does peak oil mean?
How do you know when it happens?
Is peak oil crying wolf?
Peak oil debate growing exponentially.
The debate has 2 strong sides.
The arguments are theological(I believe, I believe).
Leave I believe inside a church.
We need factual data to prove the issue

Depletion Does Not Mean Run OutDepletion Does Not Mean Run Out
All supply questions anchoredon need to understanddepletion. When does an oil field peak?
How fast does it then decline?
Do all fields ultimately decline?
Do light oil fields decline fasterthan heavy oil fields?
Can intense drilling modify rateof decline?
The furor of depletion isastonishing.
The ignorance about depletionis amazing.

Questions Are Easier Than AnswersQuestions Are Easier Than Answers
Serious energy questions
inexhaustible. Lack of solid data prohibits
answers.
Conceptual fixes are easy totheorize.
Physical realities deter conceptsfrom materializing.
Ignorance can become falsebliss.

Non-OPEC Oil Supply Must Be PeakingNon-OPEC Oil Supply Must Be Peaking
Too many non-OPEC producers are in irreversible decline.
Rates of decline are accelerating. North Sea is scary case study. Ignorance of USA peaking is still alarming. When non-OPEC peaks oil world is all about the Middle East.

Royal oilfield families get old, too.
30 40 super giant oil fields were the backbone of Middle East Oil. All are now reaching exhaustion stage.
When the oil royal family declines, there is still lots of oil and gas left.
But, it will not be easily extracted.
The Middle East will become hot bed of drilling rigs.

Saudi Arabias Oil Story Is The Oil StorySaudi Arabias Oil Story Is The Oil Story
Saudi Arabia was the only placeoil could grow forever.
20 25 million barrels per day oilwas a concept.
Cheap oil forever was aconcept.
Neither were factual.
Facts rule the future.
Facts are that Saudi Arabias oil
fields are too old. Six decades of steady growth
took its toll.
The growth in Arabian fluid is
brine and seawater.

Surprise
Natural Gas Could Be A Bigger
Surprise
Natural gas depletes fasterthan oil (Fact).
65 70% of world naturalgas supply is in decline.
Most natural gas future
reserves are stillundiscovered.
We flared the best naturalgas.
We sold most of the rest as waste product of oil. Natural gas is worlds finest heat source. Natural gas was misunderstood until its era faded.

All Forms Of Modern Energy Face
Limits To Growth
All Forms Of Modern Energy Face
Limits To Growth
Black coal is depleting.Brown coal has low BTUs. Unconventional energy is
energy intensive.
Nuclear era must beginanew. Alternate energy is real but
tiny.
Both create kilowatts
Electricity is poor generator of heat. Electricity does not create efficient transportation. Electricity is not a feedstock for petrochemicals.

Peak Oil And Gas?
Can The World Cope With Passing
Peak Oil And Gas?
World is on path to
using 120 millionbarrels per day of oil.
Projected growth inelectricity and natural
gas 50% higher. If supply starts to
decline, use will also.
If the gap is quickly understood, a Plan B works. If the crisis is ignored, we enter the dark age.

High prices do not kill economies.

Rebuild the energy infrastructure Create an OPEC middle class
Unlock R & D era for new energysource
High energy prices are salvation.
Low energy prices are a curse.

Electricity is the elixir of modern life.
Natural gas is the worlds best sourceof heat.
Substitute for either is impossibletoday.
A new generation of energy is theultimate answer. In meantime:
Buy time (no new supply is toolittle)
Conserve Use at highest best use

Richard Smalley had an energy vision.
It was rooted in fear about peak oil and natural gas.
If we win an energy victory, we avoid an energy crisis.
If we ignore the issue, we will live in a far darker world.

Twilight creates illusion of light gettingstronger.
Twilight then fades into a dark night.
It is always darkest before dawn.
If we solve our energy crisis, the 21st
century will be our greatest dawn. If we fail, we will have a dark future.
