Harper warns Americans he will ship oil elsewhere

[mentalfloss]

Man, it sure doesn't take much to piss off and rankle anti-conservatives. They so sensitive eh. :lol:

Our little buddy Steve even said he was told by senior U.S. doods that Keystone will get approved anyway. Don't panic.

Funny how hypocrites will buy all kinds of Chinese sweatshop/filthy factory/human rights condition crap from just about every store on earth but if ya wanna sell 'em some oil, well, just wait a darn minute there bub.

Thanks MF... Looks like were good to 2200, that is, assuming that technology doesn't allow us to exploit the reserves more effectively.

No, assuming demand doesn't go up (which it always does.)

And some of those reserves are actually speculative.

One difficulty in forecasting the date of peak oil is the opacity surrounding the oil reserves classified as 'proven'. Many worrying signs concerning the depletion of proven reserves have emerged in recent years.[59][60] This was best exemplified by the 2004 scandal surrounding the 'evaporation' of 20% of Shell's reserves.[61]

For the most part, proven reserves are stated by the oil companies, the producer states and the consumer states. All three have reasons to overstate their proven reserves: oil companies may look to increase their potential worth; producer countries gain a stronger international stature; and governments of consumer countries may seek a means to foster sentiments of security and stability within their economies and among consumers.

Al-Husseini estimated that 300 billion barrels (48×109 m3) of the world's 1,200 billion barrels (190×109 m3) of proven reserves should be recategorized as speculative resources.[6]

Reserves, proven reserves, unproven reserves and strategic reserves.

have fun finding a graph.

I already did and you refuted it with stuff you made up in your head, lol

 

[petros]

LMAO You need a better graph sunshine.

All reserve estimates involve uncertainty, depending on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering data available and the interpretation of those data. The relative degree of uncertainty can be expressed by dividing reserves into two principal classifications—"proven" (or "proved") and "unproven" (or "unproved").[6] Unproven reserves can further be divided into two subcategories—"probable" and "possible"—to indicate the relative degree of uncertainty about their existence.[6] The most commonly accepted definitions of these are based on those approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the World Petroleum Council (WPC) in 1997.[7]

Maybe this will help out the cry-babies a bit.

Start at Alaska and follow the shelf all the way around to NFLD and north to the pole.

 

[mentalfloss]

So you guys don't have an estimate on your "unproven reserves".

Well that does say a lot for your side of that argument.

 

[petros]

Yeah we do. Look on the Fed sites.

100 years? Try 500 or more.

Only 5% of SK's oil has been explored and tapped. That big yellow area is alllll oil.

Maybe you're right, and that's why I'm still undecided on the pipeline. What would be interesting would be for the government to conduct a study of the amount of oil we currently have, the current rate of exploitation and expected acceleration or exploitation, and based on that estimate how long we have before we run out.

Then, look at the rate at which we are currently developing solar power and other alternative sources of energy or becoming more energy efficient, and how long it would take at our current rate to become oil-independent.

Then base our current exploitation policy to ensure we still have oil after that timeline. So if we are exploiting too quickly, then maybe the government could raise the cost of royalties. If not, then let's continue.

"The pipeline" is just one of about 15 on the drawing board.

There was some lobbyist from Calgary calling it "conflict oil"the other day.She was talking for some outfit like ethical oil . com,and had some talking points that sounded like one of steves lackys,only with less imagination,she got real confused when asked questions that took her away fron the script.

How is it not?

On that note, weren't you the one that was praising China for all of the greening-up of their economy?.. Shouldn't you have chastised them for their unethical eco-program?

Slave labour in China is inhumane, regardless of the industry.

Go eat your chiquita banana.........:lol:

Ah yes..........that highly ethical company Chiquita - not! .

Chiquita is almost as hypocritical as the CPC confirmed.
