At the moment it does look like oil supply sources are shifting to the western hemisphere-
Canada, US, Gulf of Mexico, Brazil but I think much of Asia remaines unexplored?

Likewise I genuinely hope someday an 'alternative' will be practical enough to no longer be an 'alternative' no longer a subsidized drain, but a contributor to wealth and standards of living like oil has been, we'll see!

I really hope you are right about that my friend, let's hope there's more oil in USA where the rest of the world can't find easily :D

Let's hope your politician can allow drilling near shore...and that oil will continue to flow.

While the rest of the world convert to renewable energy. :D

I was told about imminent peak oil way back in school in the 70’s- that I wouldn’t be able to drive when I grew up as all the oil would be gone….. By the time I got my license, the world was awash in the cheapest oil ever- near $10 a barrel! Most countries stopped exploring, ideological environmental restrictions were easy to put in place as nobody worried about access.Then India and China suddenly freeing up their economic systems took everyone by surprise right?The way I see it- same old roller coaster caused by politics interfering at every level with natural supply and demand- Asia subsidizing and Europe taxing so much that the real cost is buried and demand inflexible…Peak ’dependency on foreign oil’ in the U.S. occurred in 2005, that trend has reversed and the U.S. is increasing it’s production every year, depending on the political obstruction, it could easily become self sufficient again. Without the majority of the entire coastline being off-limits and ponderous red tape- this reversal could be much faster. Absolutely there is a lot of oil offshore! but in front of wealthy & connected people's vacation homes who don't want their view spoiled by a speck on the horizon! But push for monsterous ugly turbines to trash the entire rural heartland! For the environment? Yeah sure!Windmills already kill 10's of thousands of birds every single year- far more than BP ever did.Orinoco, Bakken, Arctic, Iraq all dwarf the big finds that produced a glut in the 90’s- So I’d bet on another glut, but as always- politics controls our fate far more than geology?

Hi Asd,

That's an assumption that there are still plenty of oil "near" politician home...hmm

Other than the "not in my backyard" assumption and politician that are not greedy to extract more oil until other countries have exhausted their supply, we have to focus more on facts on peaked oil production of other countries.

Do research "Peak oil theory" and find out which countries no longer able to "produce" oil more than enough to for their own country consumption?

Indonesia is one of such countries used to be a oil exporter but peaked in their oil production (or should I say extraction) in 2004 I think and begin to slowly require to import oil for their own local consumption.

USA itself is oil exporter in the 70s, remember? Now it's 2nd largest oil importer of the world when China over take USA as 1st oil importer.

Question is why the government or private organization limit oil extraction by imposing restriction to drill "cheaper & safer resources nearer to shore?"...

Now the debate is why other countries in the world are moving into deep sea drilling, oil shale & expensive to refine high sulphur crude oil & tar sands if there are really lot's of cheap oil flowing in the world?

The key is ever growing demand in the world (depending on growth of human population) and slowing down of world oil supply. (Read Peak oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

Steve — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 07:15:25 -0000

Simon, Thanks for the response, and for the page, it's the only source I could fnd for a real time chart.

Isn't the main reason we resort to deep sea drilling, shale etc that we're not allowed to access the cheaper, safer resources nearer shore? (where the politicians live!) who ultimately pays for a $20 Billion 'fine' or the highest corporate taxes in the world? we do at the pump. Seems backwards to me to restrict the main thing that has fueled progress over the last century.

Maybe $20 is exaggerating- but in the long run, prices have not increased along with more advanced extraction- e.g. north sea, gulf etc, and there is no physical shortage of supply in the ground. I think as always the spike reflects political, not physical hurdles?

Re: Oil Chart

simontay78 — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:22:31 -0000

Hi Asd, they have to price it that way because many countries had peaked in their oil production meaning they can't produce faster than they can consume.

Another point, if oil price is $20 per barrel... Canada Tar Sands will be stopped digging as it's too costly to produce, same as oil shale & deep sea drilling. That could mean a significant of the world oil supply will be gone due to cost factor...which means it's almost impossible to go back to $20 per barrel.

Unless, the oil discovered must be high quality low sulphur high pressure land based oil fields that cost next to nothing to pump out as it's flowing out by it's own...and must have huge quantity reserve.

There are reasons why people resort to costly deep sea drilling, sucking out oil from oil shale (rocks) and other unconventional way of pumping oil from existing oil fields like pumping fresh water and etc.

Why would Canada use natural gas to extract the oil from the tar sands? Is Natural gas free? Nope.

Of course, I need to see your research to make further assumptions haha I haven't been researching this for some time. :D

Do let me know if I'm wrong :D

Re: Oil Chart

Asd — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 08:04:30 -0000

With the world continuing to find more new oil than it's consuming, this price does not reflect anything close to market value.
Each barrel is about $20 worth of product with $80 of taxes, regulation, state controlled restrictions slapped on.

Being an Author and researcher I will agree 100% with what is being said above - the truth is the US Government alone has over 300 under ground bases /cities built in the past 12 years - Under the Denver Airport is just one huge facility - There are also 800 FEMA detention camps for the civil unrest that is coming - these huge holing centers are barbed wired and armed guarded by NATO forces already - WHY ? be ready get your head out of the ground....

Re: Batam threatens to block Indonesian natural gas supply to Singapore – Alert

simontay78 — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 05:06:53 -0000

You may be probably right, the article above was written long time ago when I was still in the loop of the old information that our main key source of natural gas was Indonesia & Malaysia.

Now with Liquified Natural gas deliveries from other countries (at higher prices) probably cut the fear by half.

The current fear is simply price hike by global gas producers due to peaking of oil (Production).

After that, all hell will break in the economy if there's no "cheaper alternative" other than natural gas & oil & heavy oil (bitumen aka tar sands).

I don't see blacking out anytime soon now, only those jobless & poor will see their lights goes out...the rich probably be not affected. (However they will be enslaved badly).

All life will continue in Singapore, petty crimes will spike as more people are desperate with higher suicide rates too.

The rich will march on bravely on again & again until they loses their job or company...or get severely burned by the stock market.

Re: Batam threatens to block Indonesian natural gas supply to Singapore – Alert

"This eerie realization that in any event of a blockage of natural gas from BATAM means 70% of Singapore will go under total darkness!!" does not sound right considering the mass balances of the amount of gases coming to Singapore.

It is pleasing to see that the USA has been able to move ahead with these large scale solar plants. Coal market news and coal reports reflect that emerging countries are basing their futures around coal (thermal coal) fired power plants, especially in India & China. Cherry of www.coalportal.com

That may be so, so you have an explanation than why nasa will no longer do space missions and are facing being closed down by obama as he doesnt want to commit funding, wouldnt be because there's a planet heading our way that will cause destruction and it would be a waste of time funding nasa when the funding will needed elsewhere to rebuild infrastruture that planet x or whatever you want to call it will destroy.

Hey dick, do some research, nasa has admitted to planet X also know as Hercolubus or niribu, why do you think Obama is shutting down Nasa space dept, it all adds up, Nasa scientist admitted to it as they can nop longer hide it.

Re: "Inverse Generator" Prototype 1

San Diego — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 09:31:23 -0000

While solar power systems are preferable in locations that have an extensive amount of sunlight and while home windmills are popular at areas with constant flow of wind, the greatest benefit of a magnetic power generator is that you it can function in all weather, in all temperature, does not take up any substantial amount of space and is completely clean and totally free.

@Splurt123 bottom line is that mankind needs to prepare for any and all possible
cataclysmic events. If you (Splurt123) knew that Nibiru was indeed real and
approaching earth...how would you handle it? Would you inform the
people? Assuming your answer would be to withhold all facts
regarding Nibiru...it stands to reason that the government has exactly done the samething! Mass panic would shutdown the world as we know it. Right?
I have an interesting proposal....Why not "play devil's advocate" regarding
this Nibiru debate? I'm curious to see what info you would present. (doubt you will do it anyway)
I fully expect an excuse like:
"I'm not going to waste my time proving Nibiru is real...the government said
Nibiru is fake and I trust the government 100%!" OR you won't research the information due to fear. Mankind facing Nibiru is a frightening concept to all of us! The idea of death usually equals strong denial! (sigh)

Katnea — Mon, 23 May 2011 19:23:54 -0000

Actually Splurt123, I was talking to Simontay78. However..you and I both know that

"A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Right? People need to
prepare for future situations if they are to survive! Stocking up on food is a
smart choice as the price of food continues to skyrocket. CME, major
earthquakes & bio-chem warfare is a real threat!
NASA has had knowledge of
the approach of Nibiru since 1983! Chief scientist of the (IRAS) telescope
announced they had discovered the 10th planet and it will cause massive tide
fluctuations and huge solar flares. It will take out satillites and cause
devastating storms, flooding and activate many volcanoes. <--Look Around!
I suppose you are
going to say the FEMA coffins and FEMA camps are all a bunch of hooey as well?
The ghost towns of China where amazing satellit images show cities meant to be
home to millions are just lying deserted! China has built the cities far away
from any coastline! Norways artic seed vault was built for a doomsday situation!
Why now? What about the artwork inside the Denver airport? What kind of
message does that tell you? If you want to label me delusional then so be it.
What if Nibiru is indeed real? When the shite hits the fan....I hope you will
ponder what I have shared with you today. Become a 'seeker-of-truth' and take a
good look at what's happening today.

Splurt123 — Sun, 22 May 2011 04:16:44 -0000

You need to live in the real world kiddo...
There is no Planet-X and this has been proven by scientists and astronomers over and over.
In fact you could prove it yourself too in case you don't believe those who have proven it first.
You can forget Nibiru, galactic center, planetary alignment, 21/12/2012 too as they're all emonstrably false.
Sorry for your delusional existence but only you can escape it.

There is an old adage. "Hope for the best and PREPARE for the worst."
Also, the government has people that work f/t debunking the truth. The government can't have a bunch of sheeple running around in a panic! Check out
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/201... Believe what is in your heart because you know the truth! It's coming! Planet X is behind the Sun so we can't see it YET...but we will in a few months and there will be panic and you will not be able to buy any food as the stores will be ramsacked dry! Read a couple of survival books. Free survival info on the internet was well. Good-Luck my friend. ♥
