It may be difficult to look beyond the current pricing environment for oil, but the depletion of low-cost reserves and the increasing inability to find major new discoveries ensures a future of expensive oil. The industry did not log a single “giant” oil field.
Global oil and gas companies are increasingly facing an uphill battle as global warming policies are taking their toll. Most analysts and market watchers are focusing on peak oil demand scenarios, but the reality could be much darker. The latter is partly caused by “global warming constraints” and lower oilprices in general.
The impact of rising oilprices on North American light tight oil (LTO) production is said to be a “Catch 22”, the title of Joseph Heller’s popular 1961 novel set in WWII. Too many analysts continue to believe drilling and service has the same problem with rising oilprices. by David Yager for Oilprice.com.
biofuel made from cellulose, algae, duckweed, or cyanobacteria) could mitigate the current elevated risk of investing in the industry that is retarding its advance, according to a new paper by a team from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) and Johns Hopkins University.

In addition to technological advances, price developments play a key role in determining overall energy usage, Worldwatch notes. World crude oilprices more than tripled between 2004 and 2008—the fastest rise since the oil crisis of the late 1970s—contributing to the sharp decline in energy intensity during that period.

Driven by a number of growing concerns including the increasingly worrying geopolitics of oil, governments and industry are investing heavily to accelerate the development of low carbon technologies that aim to reduce, replace or obviate the use of fossil fuels in the energy mix.
In its International Energy Outlook 2021 (IEO2021), EIA projects that strong economic growth, particularly with developing economies in Asia, will drive global increases in energy consumption despite pandemic-related declines and long-term improvements in energy efficiency.
Building on the revised ASTM International standard for aviation turbine fuel approved in June, Brazil’s ANP last week removed the last regulatory hurdle for the use of our renewable jet fuel in Brazil. Amyris and its partners are contributing to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions with our renewable fuel.
The oilprice shocks of the 1970s led the Brazilian government to address the strain high prices were placing on its fragile economy. Brazil, the largest and most populous country in South America, was importing 80% of its oil and 40% of its foreign exchange was used to pay for that imported oil. by Brian J.
The low levels in discoveries come as a result of a pullback during the past 10 years in the wildcat drilling that targets conventional oil and gas plays—most drastically after oilprices collapsed in 2014. —Keith King, senior advisor at IHS Markit and a lead author of the IHS Markit E&P trends analysis.

Recent international political developments.
A report recently published by the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) concludes that the US biofuels industry and federal agencies will face significant challenges in meeting the more demanding requirements for volumes of advanced biofuels in RFS2 while minimizing any unintended adverse effects. specifies this year.
High oilprices, persistent differences in gas and electricity prices between regions and rising energy import bills in many countries focus attention on the relationship between energy and the broader economy. However, this does not imply a new era of oil abundance, the report cautions.
In a new study, KPMG International has identified 10 “megaforces” that will significantly affect corporate growth globally over the next two decades. KPMG developed 3 nexuses linked by climate change to represent the challenges of sustainable growth. Source: KPMG. Click to enlarge.

OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) has been the most talked about international organization among investors, analysts and international political lobbies in the last few months. Containing some of the largest proven oil and gas reserves in the world, Venezuela is one of the founding members of OPEC.
Electrification will also reduce oil dependence, providing foreign policy benefits and the potential to reduce real oilprices and oilprice volatility. Technology agnostics avoid picking technology winners and prefer policies that internalize external cost and establish a level playing field among technologies.
Further, according to the latest IHS Markit forecasts, the global auto industry will exerience an unprecedented and almost instant stalling of demand in 2020, with global auto sales forecast to plummet more than 12% from 2019 to 78.8 million units.
