The document discusses oil depletion and the challenges of transitioning away from oil. It notes that the Middle East has more proven oil reserves than the rest of the world combined, but oil discoveries are falling behind production levels. Growing demand from countries like China is increasing consumption of global liquid fuels. The costs of unconventional oil sources like tar sands are much higher than conventional oil. Transitioning to renewable energy and increasing vehicle fuel efficiency are identified as key strategies to reduce oil consumption.
The document discusses the impact of the global financial crisis on developing countries. It notes that while many developing economies are still growing strongly, growth forecasts have been downgraded. The crisis could spread to developing countries through several channels, including trade, remittances, foreign direct investment, commercial lending, and aid. Countries most at risk include those heavily reliant on exports, remittances, foreign investment, and aid. The crisis may lead to weaker growth, employment, exports, and current accounts in developing nations. Policy responses discussed include understanding financial stability, minimizing contagion, and managing economic slowdowns through fiscal and monetary policies.
The document discusses a six-stroke engine, which adds two additional strokes to the traditional four-stroke internal combustion engine. The Crower six-stroke engine injects water into the combustion chamber on the fifth stroke, where it is turned to steam to power an additional downstroke. This provides a second power stroke and cools the engine. Potential advantages include 40% reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. Limitations include risks of damage from injecting cold water and additional system complexities. Improvements could involve pre-heating water and reusing condensed water to address these issues.
The document provides an overview of the cement industry in India. It discusses that cement is made from limestone, shale, clay and iron ore. It then outlines the various types of cement produced. The manufacturing process and key raw materials are also summarized. The document highlights that India is the second largest cement producer globally. It provides statistics on the growth, investments, exports and contribution to GDP of the Indian cement industry. The major players in the industry are also listed along with issues faced and the structural drivers shaping the industry.
1) The tourism industry is utterly dependent on oil, as over 90% of tourism's energy usage is for transporting tourists to and from destinations.
2) There is disagreement around when global oil production will reach its peak and begin declining, but geologists agree it will happen. Once peaked, cheap oil will be gone forever.
3) Future oil demand projections expect demand to grow significantly by 2025, but some experts argue this does not account for factors like potentially faster growth from countries like China and uncertainties around peak oil. Meeting sharply rising future demand represents a major challenge.
This document discusses common lessons for the nuclear and oil & gas industries based on recent events. It notes that both industries deal with long-lived assets and face evolving energy mix issues. For oil & gas, global demand increased in 2011 but political instability in countries like Iran and environmental challenges raise concerns. Advancing technology is needed to develop more complex high-potential oil & gas projects safely. The nuclear industry must also address safety lessons from accidents like Fukushima.

Biofuels: What Strategies For Developing The Sector in West Africa ZX7
This document discusses strategies for developing the biofuels sector in West Africa. It begins by providing background on biofuels such as bioethanol and biodiesel, how they are produced, used, and their advantages and disadvantages. It then examines the growing global biofuels industry and potential opportunities and challenges for West Africa. Finally, it proposes strategies for West Africa to develop a viable biofuels industry, including establishing an appropriate legal framework, financing mechanisms, and public-private partnerships to produce and market biofuels regionally while taking advantage of opportunities in the global carbon market.
This document summarizes Colin I. Welsh's presentation on the global energy outlook. It finds that (1) global oil demand is outstripping supply due to reservoir depletion and underinvestment, leaving little spare production capacity. (2) Unconventional resources and offshore fields will make up an increasing share of global supply. (3) $550 billion or more in annual E&P spending is needed to meet rising demand, but spending trends have lagged. Aberdeen is well-positioned to benefit from opportunities in the global energy industry.

2) Political unrest in major oil producing regions like Libya and Iran raises uncertainty about future oil supplies and could cause the oil market to tighten. Higher oil prices could result.
3) The development of unconventional natural gas resources, particularly shale gas in the US, has led to a potential "Golden Age of Natural Gas" though environmental impacts must be carefully managed.
4) Russia is a key exporter of fossil fuels, especially natural gas, to Europe and its strategic
The document provides an overview of global oil market developments in August 2010. It discusses China surpassing the US as the largest energy consumer, with China's oil consumption growing at an average of 7% annually since 2003. It also summarizes that 70% of China's oil production comes from 9 giant oil fields, 5 of which are already in decline. The document includes charts and data on topics like world oil production, OPEC versus non-OPEC production, and energy consumption in different regions.
This document summarizes key findings from the World Energy Outlook 2012 report by the IEA. It notes that the foundations of the global energy system are shifting, with changes in oil and gas production and policies on nuclear energy in some countries. Emerging economies such as China, India, and the Middle East are driving growth in global energy demand. The US is experiencing a transformation into a significant oil and gas producer. Energy efficiency represents a major untapped opportunity that could significantly reduce energy demand and carbon emissions.
The document discusses topics related to oil politics, including:
1) OPEC was formed in 1960 by major oil exporting countries to fix prices and limit competition against private oil companies.
2) Saudi Arabia plays a key role in OPEC as the largest oil supplier and can influence prices by varying its oil production levels.
3) Dependence on oil imports from the Middle East puts the United States in a difficult position geopolitically.
This presentation highlights the findings and recommendations of IEG's evaluation of the World Bank Group’s support for health, nutrition and population.
This document summarizes key trends in the global oil market from 2012-2018. It finds that while demand is expected to continue growing, led by non-OECD countries, the growth is slowing. North American oil production is increasing significantly, while OPEC capacity growth is constrained. Iraq and the US are expected to contribute the most new supply during this period. Refining capacity is expanding globally, especially in China and other parts of Asia, as well as in the Middle East. Crude oil trade routes are shifting somewhat from West to East.

Cambridge Energy Research Associates:
"Growth in oil sands production has been the main driver
in making Canada the largest supplier, by far, of foreign oil
to the United States.
But the growth potential is much bigger—volumes could
be as much as three to four times higher in 2030 than in
2009."

Editor's Notes

Another way to look at energy security is to compare the countries production to their proven reserves, and calculate a burn rate. While it is intuitive that increasing domestic production increases energy security, even current rates of production at 5.5M barrels a day, the US will exhaust its conventional oil reserves in 6.5 years. One might be tempted to look to increasing exploration to extend that depletion time.
Unfortunately, discovery of large new sweet crude oil reserves in the US and US waters is highly improbable. This graphic shows global discovery of oil by year, dating back to 1930. This is not an official government or industry chart, but is the work of an association of retired oil industry engineers, and others who study oil depletion. It is an indicator that the geology of the matter is this: even with very advanced technologies that can find remote oil in the polar regions, or 5 or more miles below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, the 5 years in which the global oil industry discovered the most oil were 1964, 1963, 1962, 1949 and 1948. Since 1990, the world has consumed oil faster than it finds it, with no major oil finds on the horizon—and the gap continues to widen.
Indeed, this fundamental reality is the largest driver of oil prices, although some fraction of the oil price rise can be attributed to Mideast instability and speculation, it is very instructive that as we come out of the deepest recession since the 30s, the price of oil quickly moves back up over $100. On September 20 this AM, oil prices opened at $109, up from an average price of $60 in May 2010.

Other than the environmental challenges Canadian oil faces, former Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce chief economist and oil industry analyst Jeff Rubin argues that the economic barriers are significant. “Sure, there is 170 billion barrels of it there, and there is 500 billion barrels in the Orinoco heavy oil belt, but that is not the issue. Depletion is not just the geological concept, it is more fundamentally an economic concept. Because if the cost of extracting that oil from the tar is greater than we can afford to burn, it doesn’t matter how many billion barrels of oil there are in the tar sands.” Some major fraction of the heavy non-conventional oils will be left in the ground, because they cannot be produced at prices we can afford to consume them
The need for transportation infrastructure that supports alternatives to oil is increasing, but U.S infrastructureinvestment has had a 50-year decline. Americans annually invest less than 2.5 % of GDP in infrastructure capital and operations, although the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reports that 7% could be invested with positive benefits for the economy. EU and China infrastructure investments 5% and 9% GDP annually (capital alone). US has very low gasoline taxes compared to other industrialized nations, a key contributing factor to low investment.
