Topic: Hubbert peak theory


  
  Hubbert peak theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peak coal is still very far, but we can observe the example of anthracite in the USA, a high grade coal, that has peaked in the 1920s.
Hubbert had recoverable coal reserves at 2500 X 10^9 metric tons and peaking around 2150 depending on how the usage graph is drawn.
Hubbert reasoned that the peak production for metals such as copper, tin, lead, zinc and others would occur in the time frame of decades and iron in the time frame of two centuries like coal [45].

 Hubbert peak theory - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Hubbert's theory is that the same calculations that successfully predicted the peak in oil production in the USA would apply to other circumstances, such as the peak in worldwide oil production.
Hubbert's peak theory is subject to continued discussion because of the potential effects of lowered oil production, and because of the ongoing debate over aspects of energy policy.
There are also political implications to "peak oil." In 1976 William Ophuls published "Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity." In this book, he posits that as the primary governmental systems of the Western world evolved during the 1700s thru the 1900s, these systems experienced (and have come to assume) great natural abundance.

 Peak Oil
Supporters of peak theory suggest Hubbert's model did not account for the 1973 and 1979 Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries oil shocks, which effectively reduced global demand for oil, thus delaying the peak.
Hubbert's theory is based on the premise that petroleum is a non-renewable resource, and on observations of the peak in production at many individual oil fields.
Hubbert, a geophysicist, created a mathematical model of petroleum extraction which predicted that the rate at which oil is extracted over time would follow a logistic curve.

 Fossil fuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The theory that hydrocarbons were formed from these remains was first introduced by Mikhail Lomonosov in 1757.
At some point in time, the production of each resource within an area, country, or globally will reach a maximum value, after which, the production will decline until it reaches a point where is no longer economically feasible or physically possible to produce.
See Hubbert peak theory for detail on this decline curve with regard to petroleum.

Theory: It is widely accepted that oil is a finite resource; there are basic laws which describe the depletion of any finite resource: Production starts at zero; peak Will we soon reach a point when the world's oil.

 WorldNetDaily: 'Hubbert's Peak' is a failed theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Also known as "Hubbert's Peak," the graph was inherent in the very concept of oil as a fossil fuel.
Hubbert's graph predicted that oil production would "peak" in 1970, and that it would taper off from there until 2050, when we would have used up all the oil that ever was.
Deffeyes acknowledges that Hubbert liked to be the star of the show, one who could be belligerent in technical arguments.

The Hubbert peak theory, also known as "peak oil", analyzes the long-term supply of conventional petroleum and other fossil fuel extraction and depletion.
But presently, his theory is subject to continued debate because of the potential effects of lowered oil production.
Critics of his theory argue that peaks in oil production are more closely tied to politics, policies and environmental regulations and some maintain that petroleum is a renewable resource.

 Hubbert's Peak: Interesting Thing of the Day
Some people believe that Hubbert was more or less correct, and that even allowing for newer data and better math, we have in fact already passed the peak worldwide—perhaps in 2004 or 2005.
And all this over a theory that might never be proven one way or another—we could always end up finding massive, unexpected oil reserves (or easy ways of getting at more of the existing oil) far in the future, creating an entirely new production curve.

The Hubbert peak theory, also known as "peak oil", concerns the long-term rate of extraction and depletion in conventional petroleum and other
The theory implies that the predicted rate of oil extraction at any given time would be given by the derivative of the logistic curve at that time.
Peak oil proponents point out that such technologies are much more costly than conventional oil and claim that they cannot be produced in sufficient quantities to replace declining supplies of conventional oil.

Peak oil is going to be more of an economic and political problem than a technical problem.
Indeed, one cannot really separate concerns over peak oil from general concerns over the vulnerability of either the US or the global economy, both of which appear to be in a state of what I would call 'unstable equilibrium'.
Peak oil could well be the thing the triggers the economic perfect storm, just at a time when we will need a strong economy to form the vast amounts of capital required for a major energy infrastructure change.
