People love to sell fear
oil
If you raise the price at the pumps, average Americans will freak out. Instead, raise the price of everything else..
None of that is true in this documentary! Politicians are not engineers! This earth is huge! There is more oil in the ground in the United States than in the Middle East! Scarcity is a tool that people use to get Society to pay more for these resources! So sad that people think we will run out in our lifetimes!
The same goes for water when the earth is mostly covered in water! To suggest that we are running out of water is one gigantic lie!
Free palestine.
Finite fossil fuels are dangerously hypnotic to humans, their consciousness, reasoning and mental capacity.
"No matter how highly mechanised and self-powered, fossil fuels extraction requires a number of people as if the process executed by hands using buckets and ropes – by physics".
Today, this number is 8 billion people – working flat out 24/7 – strong.
Our Western Civilisation has been no more than a biomass and fossil fuels management operation – all along.
Humans were not ready morally, ethically and intellectually to start the mass extraction of fossil fuels with the advent of the steam engine 300 years ago.
The Magna Carta requires today overhauling adding to it the right for humans to understand what Energy really means before any other commandment;
"In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most.
No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores.
No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it.
This universal truth applies to all systems.
Energy, like time, flows from past to future" (2017).
20 year old film
Oil reserves are being replaced at about $1 a barrel FYI
I have a Organic Chemistry book from 1973 and in that book there was an idea to convert biomass into oil by using CO gas and heating it to 380 C under pressure of 1200PSI you could make 3 barrels of light crude per tonne of biomass . At the time it was expensive to do but the idea will come back .
They SAY that the resourse is finite, yet continually find new sourse. How very convenient…
Back then it was called TOTAL
South Gawar in Saudi suffered during early drop in production but Saudi invested heavily the in only oil and control extraction technology (pumping salt water inside the field to increase pressure) which restore the daily production.
At the same time Saudi developed the gigantic field in the empty quarter. The field is massive and is believed to extend across the boarder inside UAE and Oman.
In Kuwait Chevron completed a steam injection system on Al wafra oil field which dropped in 1990s to less than 10,000 bpd. Now the production is ramping to half million bpd. The success is encouraging Kuwait to install steam injection on Burgan north to restore production levels.
Beside that new discoveries in North Kuwait is very sizable of high quality sweet crude.
Then we come to the what is believed the biggest field in the world: Rumalah in Iraq. I heard it from BP engineer, they have evidents that this field extend from north east Syria all the way to west of Iraq and Jordan until it reach to the current developed reserves in Iraq. This explain why US insist on holding to Al Omer fields in Syria and continue fight war against ISIS who is now a small group of fighters roaming desert and posses no strategic threat.
The depleting oil is a myth as there are many areas in Africa yet to be explored, fields to be developed in Yemen and east Mediterranean.
good information
The guy at 25:00 wants everybody else to tell how much oil they have, yet they don't mention western reserves, captured fields and prospects. Curious inversion of roles here. He's playing the game of oil companies, by being harbringer of doom.
That documentary is 20 years old.
Mother Earth makes oil continually at depth in ways similar to those processes in action on the Saturnian moon Titan. It is a "renewable" energy source in that sense, but will Gaia be able to compete with our demand? Seriously, we need other sources of energy. Already proven are the Thorium Salt nuclear energy plants and zero-point energy devices, currently locked up in black and deep black ops. Windmills and solar panels have proven to be undependable for anything but the smallest remote stations with massive battery storage, all of which ruin the environment like nothing else. We seem h3ll bent on supporting the advancement of the CCP and destroying our own economy at the same time, all in the name of climate change pseudo-science; the best that money can buy.
dated
"I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers."
Greedy Billionaires!!
Jeder Mensch sollte dieser Film anschauen und nachdenken!
2005
this was recorded in 2005
80년대 영상 같은데??
A great one.
Peak oil of conventional oil occurred in 2008 and generated the financial crisis of 2008. People saw the problem but nothing was done. Since 2008, oil world consumption is ensured by tight oil and oil sands.
De que fecha es este documental?
C'est à cause des les bateaux qu'on consomme beaucoup trop de carburant les bateaux les paquebots c'est énorme ce qui consomme
All of these points are broadly correct – although all of these clips look 20 + years old.
If oil never loses its lubricating properties, but needs to be "cleaned" to be used again (and the "clever" people" says the quality is 100% the same…) then what happens to the majority of the BILLONS of USED liters of oil? – The used and recycled oil should have been (by now) made up the majority, or a major quantity of the required quantity?
Paid dividends represent lost opportunity? Lol, just seize all means, Mr "Scientist" to apply you economic policy. You're a politician at that point.
Back in the mid 70s my father worked in an associated industry that supplied the oil exploration industry. He visited his customers in Aberdeen on a regular basis and met all sorts of people working in oil. On one occasion he had dinner with a group of people, including major US oil execs and had a long conversation with one guy over drinks. They got to discussing how long oil would last and this guy said, you and I and your children and their children need not worry, their are known oil reserves for at least 100 years, and new fields are being explored that could see another 50 years as well. I don't no any other details on that guy and my father is no longer with us so I can't ask him, so whether it is fact or if he was spouting bull we'll never know, interesting though.

They make good money for sure🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
the techniques have wrong extract the oil to the storage boat or ship then deliver to oil factory to refine that is the right because the ocean is infinite resources of oil and gas.
sea oil and gas station the boat ships from different country possible to USA will be clients I donot know because I'm to young to understand at all.
