This document summarizes Tom Kloza's presentation at the National Ethanol Conference on February 16, 2016. Some key points:
1) Kloza reviewed past predictions by energy analysts that underestimated the decline in oil prices and overstated price floors.
2) Current forecasts for WTI and Brent crude prices in 2016 vary widely, averaging around $41-42/barrel according to Kloza.
3) North American crude prices have diverged significantly, with Canadian and some US grades trading at deep discounts to global benchmarks.
4) Just-in-time inventory practices have left fuel markets vulnerable to short-term price swings due to planned and unplanned refinery out
This document provides an overview and outlook of the global ethanol market in 2015:
- The global ethanol market is transitioning from a surplus in 2014 to a deficit in 2015 as production growth slows but consumption continues to rise.
- The US remains the dominant exporter but production is driven by margins, which are currently at low levels. Exports are growing while imports fade.
- Brazil's demand is growing but production is steady, leading exports to fade and imports to grow.
- The EU market is shrinking as production faces pressure from declining demand and rising input costs. Exports are growing while imports fade.
- Asia Pacific remains a deficit region with demand growing faster than production, making it reliant on imports

The history of the American shale gas and shale oil boom since fracking began around 2006, and the state of play in the UK's long-delayed effort to copy it.
The Argentine petrochemical industry has not expanded capacity since 2006 due to insufficient natural gas feedstocks. With $15 billion of investment, capacity could double by accessing shale gas deposits which could supply feedstocks. However, without investments, Argentina's petrochemical trade deficit could reach $4.5 billion by 2025 due to stagnant capacity and rising imports. High inflation and economic uncertainty also challenge attracting the large investments needed to develop Argentina's shale gas resources and expand its petrochemical industry.

North American Oil & Gas- Supply, Demand & Export OutlookDr Dev Kambhampati
The document discusses trends in U.S. energy supply, demand, and exports based on projections from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. It finds that increased domestic production of oil and natural gas from shale resources has boosted U.S. energy supply and reduced imports. As a result, the U.S. is projected to become a net exporter of natural gas and remain a major exporter of petroleum products over the next couple decades. However, uncertainties remain around future oil and gas production levels.
The document is a report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration analyzing oil and gas production from seven regions in the U.S. It includes charts and tables showing historical and projected production levels of oil and gas from each region from 2008 to 2017, as well as metrics like the average production per rig. The regions - Bakken, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Marcellus, Niobrara, Permian, and Utica - accounted for 92% of domestic oil production growth and all domestic natural gas production growth from 2011-2014.

It finds that these seven regions accounted for 92% of domestic oil production growth and all domestic natural gas production growth from 2011-2014. For each region, it provides data on historical and current production levels of oil and natural gas, as well as indicators of expected monthly changes for February 2016.
The document summarizes an analysis of global oil market trends from 2016 to 2021 by the International Energy Agency. It finds that while oil demand growth will remain solid at 1.2 million barrels per day, supply growth will plunge as investment cuts by oil producers in response to low prices take effect. This will tighten the oil market and drive price recovery in 2017. Iran is projected to lead production increases by OPEC members over this period, while US production will rise to an all-time high despite an initial dip. However, available spare production capacity may limit significant price rallies in the near-term. The large cuts in upstream investment also raise risks to oil security in the future.

The Guinness Global Energy Report for March 2017 provides the following highlights:
1) Oil prices were flat in February as signs of good OPEC compliance with production cuts were offset by rising US inventories due to high imports.
2) US natural gas prices fell as mild winter weather reduced heating demand, while the market remains structurally undersupplied.
3) Energy stocks underperformed the broader market in February as the MSCI World Energy Index fell 2.0% compared to a 2.8% rise in the MSCI World Index.
1) The oil market outlook forecasts prices in the $70-75 range in 2025, around $10 higher than current futures curves, with limited upside risk in the near term due to expected increases in OPEC output.
2) Strong US tight oil production growth is expected to outpace global demand growth, shifting the market balance to a surplus next year.
3) Price risks include disruptions in supply or stronger than forecast demand, while downside risks include higher than expected non-OPEC output or weaker demand.

Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
