Site Supporter Spider Posted October 16, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2018 Apparently, the Saudis are about to announce that it was an interrogation that went badly wrong. Which is all ok then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamiwhite Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Arent the Saudis heading up the Human Rights Commission ? God give me strength, this whole episode is truly horrific and sickening. The sooner their depleting oil reserves finally run out then the better it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At which point does it become too expensive and pointless to try to exploit? I would imagine the Saudis would in time convert to solar power generation for income generation.

Pretty sure the Saudi oil is the easiest to extract as opposed to Venezuela’s heavier stuff. Saudis last year had something like 260 billion barrels in reserve, whereas the Venezuelans had touching 300billion and more discoveries made by them. once the world isn’t dependent on the Saudis, they’ll most likely be filled in straight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ( I mean the world) as plenty to go at yet .... there is plenty off field at the moment that are not commercially viable ( that's not to say in years to come it will become viable) fields that 20 to 30 years ago cost to much are now being put into play with new technology , mainly horizontal drilling and large multiply sub sea templates tied back a single platform or a FPSO .

Extracting it is not really the issue its refining it, different grades of oil need to be refined differently. heavy oil is a bastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in the oil will still be relatively accessible, especially will the techniques you mentioned, but not actually required in the same quantities. Or is the oil industry big enough to stall moves away from its products to maximize it own income? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the oil industry big enough to stall moves away from its products to maximize it own income? the price of oil per barrel is the dictating factor say $40 a barrel but costs $50 to get it out of the ground it will stay there, now if its say $80 to 90 ( as its bouncing between now) then out its comes and that's always a gamble remember from finding a field ( offshore) it can take anywhere between 8 to 12 years before you get first oil, that's a lot of time for things to go pear shaped. Most of the oil majors are investing in those other alternative technologies. We are always going to need oil we are a hydro-carbon born generation unless we can get it another way maybe by using plant waste but for the foreseeable future we are going to need to live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its both but you are right about the sulphur , that is what is killing the Canadians at the moment . You are right on the North see oil and WTI, middle east is mainly heavy Edited October 16, 2018 by tyldesley_white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
