	Oil field
		Because an oil field may be remote from civilization, establishing a field is often an extremely complicated exercise in logistics.
		Thus, the typical oil field resembles a small self-contained city in the midst of a landscape dotted with oil derricks[?] and/or the pump jacks known as "nodding donkeys" because of their bobbing arm.
		In the modern age, the location and proven reserves of oil fields are a key underlying factor in many geopolitical conflicts.

		The reactions that produce oil and natural gas are often modeled as first order breakdown reactions, where kerogen breaks down to oil and natural gas by a large set of parallel reactions, and oil eventually breaks down to natural gas by another set of reactions.
		Oil extraction is costly and sometimes environmentally damaging, although Dr. John Hunt from Woods Hole pointed out in a 1981 paper that over 70% of the reserves in the world are associated with visible macroseepages, and many oil fields are found due to natural leaks.
		Proponents of peak oil theory also refer as an example of their theory, that when any given oil well produces oil in similar volumes to the amount of water used to obtain the oil, it tends to produce less oil afterwards, leading to the relatively quick exhaustion and/or commercial unviablility of the well in question.

		A: The amount of known oil in ANWR is precisely zero (see essay here) - many different entities make many different estimates of how much there may be in the ground there, but until reasonable amounts of exploration are done, those estimates are nothing but guesses.
		The phrase "mineral oil" is a misleading name, indicating simply that it occurs from the earth as opposed to, say, whale oil or soy bean oil.
		By far most of the oil and natural gas in the world is generated by heat and pressure applied to accumulations of organic material (mostly plants).

	Oil field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because the oil reservoirs typically extend over a large area, possibly several hundred kilometres across, full exploitation entails multiple wells scattered across the area.
		Thus, the typical oil field resembles a small self-contained city in the midst of a landscape dotted with drilling rigs and/or the pump jacks known as "nodding donkeys" because of their bobbing arm.
		In the modern age, the location of oil fields with proven oil reserves is a key underlying factor in many geopolitical conflicts.

		But there are serious reasons to be concerned that Iraqi oil fields could be put out of commission for an extended period, with huge consequences for the United States and the international economy.
		Second, the CIA report found that the use of explosives and conventional plugging methods of the oil heads could be effective enough in denying the Soviets the ability to access the oil.
		Consider the logic: If oil fields were put out of commission for an extended period, the consequences for the global economy would be significant and would have huge ripple effects on sectors of the economy such as the troubled airline industry.

		It is still impossible to tell whether oil is actually present at a given place, and whether pressure and porosity are sufficient to make it exploitable, but good indications are given of condtions that might favor the accumulation of oil.
		In the Oil Crisis of 2000, which was mainly a doubling of price from about $15 per barrel to $30 a barrel, the decision of OPEC to increase production at the behest of the United States and Europe has brought out the observation that only Saudi Arabia has any exess capacity.
		The oil depletion crisis will appear long before oil is depleted, and it will be characterized by a sharp increase in price and a great deal of whining.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Over 70 Russian fields of mineral resources may be declared strategic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		For oil the threshold for listing fields as strategic has been lowered from 150 mm tons to 70 mm tons, for gas -- from 1 tcm to 50 bn cm, for copper -- from 10 mm tons to 500,000 tons, and for gold -- from 700 tons to 50 tons, Trutnev said.
		According to the new criteria, three copper and one gold field would be listed as strategic.
		Earlier the Natural Resources Ministry planned to list only five fields as strategic: the Titov and Trebs oil fields, the Chayanda oil and gas field, the Sukhoi gold field and the Udokan copper field.

		The largest gas fields in the world are in the West Siberian Basin (including Urengoy, Yamburg, Zapolyarnoye), and contain more gas (well over 1200 trillion cubic feet for the whole basin) than in all the known gas fields in the US, including Alaska (the US has a lot of additional gas associated with oil fields).
		Oil tanker capacity for trans-oceanic shipping is also 100% reserved for the forseeable future, and shipping costs have nearly tripled [more info].
		Although the price of oil is ultimately governed by supply and demand -- with the greatest demand in the US (25% of world oil consumption; 45% of world gasoline consumption) and two-thirds of US demand in the transportation sector -- nervousness on the part of oil traders also impacts the short-term price.

		Chris’ list also includes “potential projects” without specific dates and these could well materialize in the period after 2010/11, prolonging the plateau.
		To some degree it's a ME power play, for sure, but as ME reserves decline the oil will become heavier and more sour, so there will be a need for the appropriate refining capacity somewhere.
		As long as the oil price remains high, the ME has the money to invest in refining capacity at home, and as a benefit they increase profits on their exports.
