for oil, that would make 20 days of world production

good for the Ivory Coast, but it will not fart very far once distributed in the reservoirs of the 4 corners of the planet.

In addition to Total and Eni, several international companies, in particular the British Tullow Oil, have announced important discoveries in recent years.

The vultures are there. We can bet that apart from a few crooked potentates, a pinch of corrupt notables and a handful of margoulins playing intermediaries, the lower people of Côte d'Ivoire have everything to lose.

I refer to the forum Oleocene
http://www.oleocene.org/phpBB3/viewtopi ... 1#p2291591

I would point out that in the USA alone, there are 1700 GT coal insured ... and at the world level, it is not crazy to think that we can extract 4000 GT with EROEI> 1.

it is gigantic.

1GT coal after combustion gives roughly 3GT CO2

and the annual CO2 emissions from coal were around 40 GT ...

for those still interested ...

just to show you the monstrosity of what we have in coal ... in order of magnitude ...

all our CO2 emissions since 1870: 2000 GT source Wikipedia

The 1700 GT of coal in the USA alone, once converted into CO2, yields in the 5000 GT CO2, 2,5 times all that has already been shit in the atmosphere.

Globally exploitable coal is easily 10 GT CO000 that can be dropped, that is 2 TIMES all that has already been put in since 5


I'm not even talking about "natural" gas which is another abundant resource ...

I also fear self-amplifications that we stimulate: permafrost thaws (corollary emissions of CO2 + CH4), the disappearance of ocean ice increases the absorption of solar energy, and in these same oceans; methane hydrates could slowly bubble in a few centuries ... at that point it will be totally unmanageable.

Natural carbon sinks won't save us forever: the oceans are acidifying, and vegetation could suffer from climate change too.

with the detail that the 1700 Gt, these are the estimated resources, but that does not mean at all that it is economically extractable. The proven reserves in the USA are just 250 Gt, and the total world reserves, barely 1000 Gt.

Confusing resources and reserves is also the argument of those who say that peak oil will not arrive before the end of the century. If you add all the bituminous junk, arctic oil, shale etc ... you can get there except that for the moment their contribution is peanuts.

You can believe it, but in this case you have to be consistent: we cannot both announce peak oil in the coming decade and say that we will continue to grow CO2 emissions until the end of the century. , with still as much to produce afterwards.

Okay, that obviously is if you care about being consistent ....

By 2050, half of the energy extracted from the world's oil reserves will have to be re-injected into new extractions to continue producing oil. The authors have come up with an interesting name for this self-destructive phenomenon: they call it "energy cannibalism.»

... “If shale oil has been able to offset the plateau in conventional oil production since the mid-2000s, they predict, no other oil should take off and become the next backup power source. "

They say this will define when all of the world's oil production is likely to peak and decline - a date they say is somewhere around 2034: that is, just 13 years from now. https://www.les-crises.fr/energies-foss ... rapidement

2034 is very optimistic! It is very likely that the all-oil peak has already been reached (2018) ... This seems to be confirmed by monetary policies and by the Covid epidemic.

Consumption of all liquid oil will return to 100 million bpd in Q1 and Q2 2022 and more thereafter.

We estimate that 98.9 million b / d of petroleum and liquid fuels was consumed globally in October, an increase of 4.5 million b / d from October 2020 but 1.9 million b / d less than in October 2019. We revised up our forecast for consumption of petroleum and liquid fuels for the fourth quarter of 2021, partially as a result of fuel switching from natural gas to petroleum in the electric power sector in parts of Asia and Europe. This fuel switching is a result of increases in natural gas prices in Asia and Europe.

We forecast that global consumption of petroleum and liquid fuels will average 97.5 million b / d for all of 2021, which is a 5.1 million b / d increase from 2020. We forecast that global consumption of petroleum and liquid fuels will increase by 3.3 million b / d in 2022.

ah yeah that's it

we burn oil like pigs roll in the mud, that makes you happy!

Let the SUVs live, the planes live, the Chinese tankers live, the useless trips and the dumping of futile and ephemeral products.

without forgetting the miracle solution of lithium electric tanks of 100 kWh and 300 HP.

and all at the piquouze.

This world is a nightmare.
