The paradox of oil reserve forecasts: The political implications of predicting oil reserves and oil consumption

Energy Policy, 2010
Abstract In the light of the outstanding importance of hydrocarbons for global energy, the controversy over peak oil has become both pressing and emotionally charged. Two conflicting parties – alarmists and optimists – hold irreconcilable positions.

Estimating Oil Reserves in Oil-Water Transition Zones

SPE Asia Pacific Conference on Integrated Modelling for Asset Management, 2000
Abstract The amount of recoverable oil in an oil-water transition zone depends on the distribution of oil saturation as a function of depth, and the relationship between initial oil saturation in the transition zone (Soitz) and residual oil saturation in the transition zone (Sortz).

Oil Reserves and Peak Oil

2014
The history of estimating oil reserves has proven a history of long-lasting misunderstandings. The split between the environmental perception of depletion and the common man’s view, further contrasted the differences between the standpoints of the scientific and business communities, led to the most controversial topic ever debated within the energy ...

Recalculating Future Oil Reserves

Science, 2005
In his Policy Forum “Oil: Never cry wolf—why the petroleum age is far from over” (21 May 2004, p. 1114), L. Maugeri claims that new discoveries of oil and other hydrocarbons will stave off oil scarcity for many generations to come. As the physicist Albert Bartlett ([1][1]) demonstrated nearly three decades ago, “When we are dealing with exponential ...

The Valuation of Oil Reserves

SPE Hydrocarbon Economics and Evaluation Symposium, 1989
ABSTRACT The decision to make investments in oil or gas reserves is determined by the relationship between the value of a barrel in-ground and the cost of creating a new one. Wide disparities between these two values will result in investment or disinvestment until the in ground value is equal to the cost of replacement ...

Are Oil Reserves Being Replaced?

Problems of Economic Transition, 2013
Based on results of the latest studies, which have shown that oil fields are actually renewable, it is concluded that oil production can be forecast with no fear of depriving future generations.

Brazilian Oil Fields and Oil-Shale Reserves

AAPG Bulletin, 1949
The largest area of oil possibilities in Brazil is the Amazon Valley. On Marajo Island, thick sediments have been proved recently by geophysics. The Maranhao Basin is being intensively investigated by the Conselho Nacional do Petroleo. In Sergipe, geophysical parties are working, and a test well was recently spudded.

The oil reserves production relationship

Energy Economics, 2008
Abstract This paper considers the relationship between the extraction rates and remaining reserves of oil. A simple exhaustible resources model suggests a linear extraction rule, with slope terms common to all extractors when discount rates are homogeneous. Differences in pricing behavior and costs determine the intercept.
