Average values for WTW GHG emissions for oilsands and other crudes, tight boundary. When the oilsands products refined in the United States are considered—a mixture of oilsands and lower-carbon blending components—the GHG emissions are, on average, 9% higher than the average crude processed in the US.
Despite what appears to be a saturated oil market in 2014, oil producers around the world will struggle to meet rising demand over the next few decades. Global oil demand is expected to increase by 37 percent by 2040, with a dominant proportion of that coming from developing countries—i.e. China and India.
Profound shifts in the regional distribution of oil demand and supply growth will redefine the refining industry and transform global oil trade over the next five years, according to the annual Medium-Term Oil Market Report (MTOMR) released by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The oil market is at a crossroads.
But these are just the costs of lifting oil out of the ground. State-owned oil companies often have many more responsibilities than just producing oil. It’s hard to measure costs when this oil has to pay for all the luxuries of the Saudi royal family. That’s just one opinion, but it’s a poignant one.
One casualty of the oil price downturn could be the megaproject. For years, as conventional oil reserves depleted and became increasingly hard to find, oil companies ventured into far-flung locales to find new sources of production. The collapse of oil prices, however, could kill off the megaproject.
Natural gas is projected to be the fastest growing fossil fuel, and coal and oil are likely to lose market share as all fossil fuels experience lower growth rates. OECD oil demand peaked in 2005 and in 2030 is projected to be roughly back at its level in 1990. Oil, excluding bio-fuels, will grow relatively slowly at 0.6%
World oil production capacity to 2020 (crude oil and NGLs, excluding biofuels). Oil production capacity is surging in the United States and several other countries at such a fast pace that global oil output capacity could grow by nearly 20% from the current 93 million barrels per day to 110.6 Source: Maugeri 2012.
The US State Department has issued a Presidential Permit to Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership to enable construction of the Alberta Clipper pipeline for the transport of crude oil from the Canadian oilsands to US refineries. This week, the RFA happened to issue two pieces, each touching on the impact of oilsands production.
All crude oil produced in and offshore of California is assumed to be refined in California. The volume contributions for California crudes are based on oil production data obtained from the California Department of Conservation. Crude from the oilsands in Canada was headed by a carbon intensity of 24.49
Millions of EVs and PHEVs would expand the sale of electricity as an alternative to oil. Why not ake it all the way and spend 1 year of Iraq on retrofitting every home in America with nano solar. No more Big OIL - think of the extra money stimulating the economy! Utilities could avoid building more dirty peaking power plants.
However, the US military can play an important role in promoting stability in major oil producing regions and by helping protect the flow of energy through major transit corridors and on the high seas, the reports suggest. Earlier post.). Unless addressed, pipeline security issues will impede investment in Turkey, Bartis suggested.
