Hubbert peak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Hubbert peak theory, also known as peak oil, is an influential theory concerning the long-term rate of conventional oil (and other fossil fuel) extraction and depletion. Critics argue that if conventional oil and natural gas become more expensive, alternative energy source development and increased technological efficiency research will become more expensive to the same degree. Although the conventional wisdom of individual energy conservation is a compelling approach to energy stability, it is also possible that this approach is entirely naive. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Peak_oil

Engine Oil Choices - MiniMopar Resources Conventional oil has many molecule sizes all mixed together with many impurities, but there is an ideal size for the best lubricative properties and viscosity. Differences between conventional oils usually lies within the purification process of the base oil and the additives that are included to control it. Conventional oils are sufficient for most engines, but I personally recommend synthetics for turbocharged and other high-performance engines. minimopar.knizefamily.net /oil.html

NON-CONVENTIONAL OIL When oil migrates to shallow depths on the margins of basins, it is attacked by bacteria, which remove the light ends, leaving behind sticky viscous materials known variously as bitumen, asphalt and tar. Oil can be distilled from certain shales rich in organic material, in the same way as oil can be distilled from coal, as was done in Germany during the War. Shale oil should in fact better be classed as part of the coal domain rather as a hydrocarbon source, but it is mentioned here because it is often considered in colmection with oil. dieoff.org /page167.htm

Synthetic Versus Conventional Oil Conventional oils are essentially frozen solid at that temperature, so there’s simply no conventional equivalent to this new grade. There are 5W-30 conventional and synthetic oils, but even here, the synthetic has a real-world advantage: Mobil 1’s 5W-30 will pump at -58-degrees F, compared to about -35-degrees F for a conventional oil. By contrast, the unstable molecules in conventional oil can easily vaporize or oxidize in extreme heat. www.carcraft.com /techarticles/15378

- Dirt Road Magazine - The Synthetic Advantage - (dirtroad.com) Conventional oils on the other hand are extracted from crude oil in a refinery where they are cleaned and processed to make an oil that is the appropriate viscosity for formulating engine oil. Conventional oils on the other hand are basically cleaned up crude oil which has a considerable amount of wax. Conventional oils have a broad mix of hydrocarbon structures; some are small molecules, some are big. www.dirtroadmagazine.com /oil2.htm

WEC Survey Of Energy Resources 2001 - Oil Shale By this process the organic material is converted into a liquid, which must be further processed to produce an oil which is said to be better than the lowest grade of oil produced from conventional oil deposits, but of lower quality than the upper grades of conventional oil. The oil shale (known as "brown combustible shale" in China) in the formation can be divided into two parts of differing composition: the lower 15 m of light-brown oil shale of low-grade and the upper 100 m of brown to dark-brown, finely laminated oil shale. Oil shale development had always been on a small scale but the project that was to represent the greatest development of the shale deposits was begun immediately after World War II in 1946 - the US Bureau of Mines established the Anvils Point oil shale demonstration project in Colorado. www.worldenergy.org /wec-geis/publications/reports/ser/shale/shale.asp

CLIMAXING OIL Oil from non- conventional sources and natural gas liquids is additional, some 5% of all production. Conventional oil rapidly displaced the direct use of coal as an industrial and transport fuel because of its ease of storage and transport, the fine control possible in its various uses and its high power-weight ratio. The decline curve for conventional oil is based on the actual performance records of thousands of oil fields using data from Petroconsultants database. wwwistp.murdoch.edu.au /teaching/N212/n212content/topics/topic5/climaxingoil.html

The End of Cheap Oil, by Colin J. Campbell, Jean Laherrere Finally, one must have an educated guess at the quantity of conventional oil that remains to be discovered and exploited. Safer nuclear power, cheaper renewable energy, and oil conservation programs could all help postpone the inevitable decline of conventional oil. In the 1960s oil companies assumed as a rule of thumb that only 30 percent of the oil in a field was typically recoverable; now they bank on an average of 40 or 50 percent. dieoff.org /page140.htm

Conventional Oil Oil is produce by " non-conventional " methods the Fort McMurray and Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo by mining oilsands. Conventional oil is defined as "petroleum found in liquid form, flowing naturally or capable of being pumped with out further processing or dilution" by Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP). Job searchers interested in finding job opportunities and related information about conventional oil producers operating in "oil fields" or "oil patch" can use the following web sites": www.woodbuffalo.net /oilconventional.htm

home page But the total production of all hydrocarbons (oil plus gas, both conventional and non-conventional) is likely to peak fairly soon, probably around 2015. The World, in addition, contains large stores of non-conventional oil and gas. In total, over 50 c ountries are past their resource-limited conventional oil production peak, and are in production decline. www.oildepletion.org /roger

Heavy Oil as the Key to U.S. Energy Security Remaining conventional oil reserves in Alaska are presently booked at 4 billion barrels, and anticipated recoverable reserves from the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve (ANWR) are expected to total another 3 to 4 billion barrels. Over the past five years, studies of global oil production have consistently predicted that diminishing discoveries of conventional crude oil will cause worldwide oil production to peak and irreversibly decline by the end of the present decade. Remaining U.S. reserves of conventional crude oil total only 22 billion barrels, but deposits of heavy oil and natural bitumen total more than 140 billion barrels. www.petroleumequities.com /cgi-bin/site.cgi?p=energysecurity.html&t=5

Overview: Conventional Oil We especially note a significant change from the IEO 2002 that occurred in the IEO 2003: the reclassification by the Oil & Gas Journal [6] of heretofore non-conventional oil from the Athabasca tar sands in Alberta, Canada, as conventional oil. The USGS estimates that there are approximately 3000 billion barrels of conventional oil (Bbo) that may ultimately be extracted.[3] Because the world has already consumed approximately 1000 Bbo, that leaves approximately 2000 Bbo as the remaining conventional oil. There exist two significantly different estimates of the amount of conventional oil that may ultimately be extracted from the Earth. www.physics.emich.edu /ebehringer/FossilFuels/overview_oil.html

NON-CONVENTIONAL OIL Undoubtedly, production will rise in the future, but probably to a low ceiling, constrained by the sheer scale of the operation, and only when conventional oil is much scarcer than now. The production of some categories are closely linked to the production of the conventional oil with which they are associated. Oil can be distilled from certain shales rich in organic material, in the same way as oil can be distilled from coal, as was done in Germany during the War. dieoff.org /page167.htm

Extreme Duty Oil They need more protection from the heat than conventional oils give them. The key to extending drain intervals is the oil you use. Amsoil recommends up to a 35,000-mile oil change, which is 5 to 11 times fewer oil changes. www.extremedutyoil.com

Synthetic Oil ATF Gear Lube High Performance Filters Amsoil Our high performance air filters, oil filters, synthetic automatic transmission fluid, gear oil and grease are second to none. Synthetic oil is used in every commercial and military jet engine in the world, as well as in all spacecraft. When you begin discussing synthetic oil with friends you will invariably come across "experts" who will give you various reasons why synthetic oil is bad for your engine. www.lubeus.com

CLIMAXING OIL Oil from non- conventional sources and natural gas liquids is additional, some 5% of all production. Oil is subdivided into conventional and non-conventional categories. Conventional oil rapidly displaced the direct use of coal as an industrial and transport fuel because of its ease of storage and transport, the fine control possible in its various uses and its high power-weight ratio. wwwistp.murdoch.edu.au /teaching/N212/n212content/topics/topic5/climaxingoil.html

Oil & Gas Situatuation More importantly, the decline rate of conventional oil will be fairly rapid, about a 3% fall each year, and present calculations indicate that it is unlikely that non-conventional sources can come on-stream fast enough to offset conventional’s decline. As global conventional oil declines, attention turns to non-conventional oil, and oil substitution by gas, gas-to-liquids and probably coal-to-liquids. Conventional gas is a different animal to conventional oil, seeing a different depletion profile, and being strongly affected by envisaged infrastructure in terms of pipelines, and liquefaction and gas-to-liquids plants. www.oildepletion.org /roger/situation/Oil&Gas_situation.htm

CNEWS Tech News - Investment in non-conventional oil extraction rose to a record in 2002 And in Alberta, 2002 marked the first year where non-conventional production of crude oil exceeded conventional production, the agency said. OTTAWA (CP) - Capital expenditures in non-conventional oil extraction, such as production of synthetics from oil sands, amounted to a record $6.7 billion in 2002, up 14.2 per cent from 2001, says Statistics Canada. However, the conventional oil and gas extraction industry cut back capital and development spending in 2002, reflecting large reductions in natural gas prices that year, the agency said Thursday. www.majorleaguebaseball.ca /CNEWS/TechNews/2003/10/23/234414-cp.html

Note on the Delay in the Peak of Supply of Liquid Fuel for Transportation Applications Derived from Conventional Oil by Greater Allocation to this Sector This delay may be important because the extra time will assist in the introduction of other options whether in the field of non- conventional oil production or new transportation technologies. Under the influence of higher prices or other policy initiatives, the fraction of the conventional oil available devoted to the mobile needs of the transportation sector is assumed to increase in this note from 65% in 2010 to 85% in 2030 and remain constant thereafter. Given these assumptions, it was found that the date of the peak of supply to the transportation sector is delayed by some thirteen years to 2030 as compared to the peak in total conventional oil production. pages.ca.inter.net /~jhwalsh/wdnote.html

The Twenty First Century -- The World's Endowment of Conventional Oil and its Depletion The important distinction is that the unfettered production of conventional oil rises rapidly to a peak and then declines exponentially; whereas the production of non-conventional oil rises only slowly to a long low plateau, before in turn declining. Oil does not occur in some vast underground cavern from which is could be quickly pumped, but it is held in the minute pore space of the reservoir rocks, in the same way as rising damp can flow through the walls of old stone buildings. Oil occurs in the pore space of the reservoir rock where it is subject to capillary pressures. hubbertpeak.com /campbell/camfull.htm

Will the hydrocarbon era finish soon? Therein forecasts for production of conventional oil as well combination of conventional and non-conventional oil is shown. Oil is of major importance for transport, heat production and chemical industry. Oil and gas are at present the most important energy fuels. www.bgr.de /b123/hc_era/e_kw_aera.htm

The World's Endowment of Conventional Oil and its Depletion Gas and non-conventional oil output will increase after peak, but it will not be a seamless transition dut to the very different characteristics and depletion profiles of these hydrocarbons. The numbers refer to Conventional oil, namely that which has supplied more than 95% of all oil to date and which will continue to dominate supply until well after peak, much of it free-flowing from giant fields found long ago. The rising share will give an increasing control of the market that is expected to lead to a radical increase in oil price before the world midpoint of depletion is reached. www.oilcrisis.com /overview.htm

Environmentalism is fascism Both of these discourses need to be viewed in light of what is now well known about non-conventional oil. Conventional wisdom has it the impending war in the Gulf has something to do with oil. Oil-sands oil is not drilled down to, and then pumped up like conventional oil. www.ecofascism.com /article8.html

Plan now for a world without oil : Melbourne Indymedia To this may be added non-conventional oil and other liquids brought into commercial production by the rising price as oil becomes more scarce. Oil powers the vast network of planes, tanks, helicopters and ships that provide the basis of each country's armaments. Four months ago, Britain's oil imports overtook its exports, underlining a decline in North Sea oil production that was already well under way. www.melbourne.indymedia.org /news/2004/01/59989.php

VHeadline.com - Oliver L. Campbell: An unconventional opinion It is also a fact the distinction means nothing to the consumer as he does not care whether the gasoline he buys comes from conventional or non conventional oil production. The distinction between what was non conventional and what is now conventional oil production has become blurred and this situation will, I suggest, accelerate in the future. The profit motive has driven the development of new technology and resulted in cost reductions which will increasingly lead to more non conventional oil becoming economically viable. www.vheadline.com /readnews.asp?id=21170

Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers - Conventional Oil More information on conventional and crude oil is available through the following links: Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers - Conventional Oil We export about 1.5 million barrels per day of crude oil, primarily to refineries in the central and western United States. www.capp.ca /?V_DOC_ID=689

Minnesota's Energy Future: Part II-A The sum of these alternative or unconventional oils are estimated to total more than three or four times the conventional. Oil production will remain at high levels for several years before commencing a decline that will never be reversed. Oil fired generating plants are no longer constructed, and many existing plants are often retrofitted to burn natural gas. www.mnforsustain.org /erickson_dell_minnesotas_energy_future_part_IIA.htm
