Decline and depletion rates of oil production: a comprehensive investigation.
Two of the most fundamental concepts in the current debate about future oil supply are oilfield decline rates and depletion rates. These concepts are related, but not identical. This paper clarifies the definitions of these concepts, summarizes the underlying theory and empirically estimates decline and depletion rates for different categories of oilfield. A database of 880 post-peak fields is ...
متن کاملPredicting the Peak in World Oil Production
The US Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration recently predicted that world oil production could continue to increase for more than three decades, based on the recent US Geological Survey (USGS) evaluation of world oil resources and a simple, transparent model. However, it can be shown that this model is not consistent with actual oil production records in many different regio...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Influence of climate, varieties and production process on tocopherols, plastochromanol-8 and pigments in flaxseed oil Influence of climate, varieties and production on antioxidants in flaxseed oil
The objective of this study was to compare the influence of: genotype, environmental conditions and processing methods on levels of tocochromanols carotenoids and chlorophyll after maturation and harvesting in flaxseed oil from four varieties (Altess, Biltstar, Niagara and Oliwin). Oils were produced by cold pressing of dry seeds and seeds that were heated for 30 min at 60 °C. Temperature, suns...
متن کاملPeak oil demand: the role of fuel efficiency and alternative fuels in a global oil production decline.
Some argue that peak conventional oil production is imminent due to physical resource scarcity. We examine the alternative possibility of reduced oil use due to improved efficiency and oil substitution. Our model uses historical relationships to project future demand for (a) transport services, (b) all liquid fuels, and (c) substitution with alternative energy carriers, including electricity. R...
