Discussion of Harper[BP] ASPO presentation

Unread postby nero » Thu 08 Jul 2004, 16:59:38

Thought I would kick off discussion of a thread about this ASPO presentation.

http://www.peakoil.net/iwood2004/pptBer ... perpdf.pdf

My thoughts:

The first seven slides clearly describes factors in reserve growth. And eye balling the figures it looks like the reserves about doubled over 10 years from discovery for the fields described.

The presentation then describes the Arrington aproach to estimating reserve growth. Observing in slide 10 that taking the 77-91 data you could estimate that a fields original reserves might grow by 10 times after 60 years.

This presentation addresses one of the concerns I've always had with the back dating of oil reserves to year of field discovery. That is that the newer data doesn't take into account the reserve growth that has yet to happen for the new field. So on slide 11 it adjusts for the expected growth and shows the discovery trend in the USA.

Then in slide 12 it throws a spanner in the works by saying that the predicted growth really depends on the data set used. The newer data being better than the older data. I think that this could be due to a couple of factors. Technology is getting better at the initial estimate or 2 the companies are depleting their unbooked reserves to keep the financials looking good. (I'm not sure if this is using proved or 2P numbers)

I don't know why the author doesn't update the Attanasi and Root data for the past 13 years. Anybody interested in doing that effort and posting that here (Soft_Landing?)

Slide 13 leads me to think that the unbooked reserves may be a factor in what is show in slide 12 as revisions have decreased in importance in the reserve additions

Slides 14 and 15 show reserves increased much more slowly over the first 20 years for UK and Norway. Doesn't say why though. Could be because the reserves are proved and probable as opposed to just proved. Anyway, it is very interesting. I wonder if the average is the weighted average or not?

Slides 16-20 show how ignoring reserves growth can lead to some missleading forecasts of reserves

Slide 21-22 comes back to the arrington approach to estimating future reserves growth this time for global production. But this time instead of growing by 6 times after 30 years as was shown in US data set the reserves tripled after 30 years. The reason for the difference is unexplained. I would hazard to guess it is a combination of factors, most importantly being different reporting regimes. I wonder a bit how exactly he got the data since (I believe) many countries such as SA don't break down reserve additions to individual fields (at least I wasn't aware that that data was arround). Can anyone correct me on this? Another possible factor is that the data is significantly newer and then would take advantage of the newer imaging technology.

Anyway it shows that the global effort to find oil has probably been much better in the past 20 years than Peak Oilers usually think, and that we are still probably finding a bit more oil than we use, as long as you factor in the predicted reserve growth.


Slides 23-24 repeat the process for global gas production.

All in all I thought this was an excellent presentation and wish I had seen it in person.

I hesitate to reply to my own post but I'll add an aditional thought or two.

The data that was used for graphs 21-22 was from IHS Energy(formery petroconsultants) I don't know how well they do at getting data field by field, but I'll guess they probably do the best job of anybody. I looked for anything from IHS to give me an idea of what they are thinking. I came across this presentation from May 2004, that is even more criptic than the BP one.

http://www.ihsenergy.com/company/events/presentations/usgs_resources.pdf

From the fact that he does not mention the Arrington method of estimating reserves growth I'd guess that that was Harper's addition not IHS. The X3 after 30 years reserve growth number that Harper uses is huge. I sure would like to know what Campbell etal. made of that reserve growth factor.

One suprising little tidbit though is slide 3 of this IHS presentation that shows the 1965 water cut was estimated to be 22% and the 2001 water cut was 38%. Do you possibly think this could be a world average water cut. Who could possibly have taken the time to calculate that data.

Reserve growth

Unread postby DoctorDoom » Fri 09 Jul 2004, 19:09:17

I'll have to read over those materials, thanks for posting them. One comment about reserve growth, though: it's dangerous to extrapolate from past growth ratios to new fields. Much of the growth has come from enhanced recovery techniques, as well as better technologies for determining where oil is located and how much there is. The benefits of all this technology are already in the estimates for a new field right from the get-go. This leaves you with (a) better knowledge of the field obtained over time by observing production trends, and (b) future technologies.

Does anyone know where I'd get the data from?

EIA publishes production by field each year & year of discovery for each field, however, without reserves for each field, I can't match up reserve adjustments with the source field's year of discovery. EIA publishes reserve amounts and adjustments by state, not by field.

If anyone can drop the data by, I'd love to put it together and post it up.

I think an update of the estimation of field growth factor, even if it were only valid for US lower 48, would be extremely interesting.

Cheers Nero, for putting this stuff up, real good reads.

Baseline depletion numbers

Unread postby DoctorDoom » Mon 19 Jul 2004, 12:16:53

Per Aaron's request, a sticky post with my baseline scenario. Other scenarios gratefully accepted. What we're looking for are models showing production over time, with the production subtracted from reserves so that we can look at the process of the gas tank running dry.

My model still needs some tuning, in particular it behaves badly for the next few years.

The next step, if I can ever get the data, is to add in some data re. alternatives, the main one being coal-to-liquids production, which I'm now convinced is going to start ramping up as the decline sets in.

The step after that is to plug in the consumption, and try to see what policy changes are going to be made (or forced) to deal with the deline without a general collapse.

I think Dr’s point shows up on slide 13 with newer fields growing less than old.

On a related topic, I saw the BP quarterly report some time back that had quite a large section entitled “Managing Decline” - that is quite revealing I think.

This presentation goes further in promoting the idea that things aren’t so bad.

There is no doubt more oil will be found, the most pessimistic think we’ve only recovered half of all recoverable.

P.S. I think there is another thread on this topic somewhere.

Sorry Nero, didn't see the question. You can always PM if you want a faster response...

EIA used to publish a report like this one each year... (this is 1993 - just what I have handy)

(warning: kinda big from memory)

http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/FTPROOT/petroleum/021693.pdf

Anyway, go to page 68, and from there on, you'll see production figures for individual fields. They don't publish for every field, but they publish Top 100 U.S. Oil a Fields as Ranked by Production within Proved Reserves Group, so it's pretty comprehensive.

Have fun...

quick question, where do you think that production in saudi arabia is coming from? that is a lot they have to pump. just scratching my head over it, but your data, on first look looks a lot like the us government models. so i wonder why there is a discrepancy bteween these models, like aspo vs. regulatory data. do you know? i have been puzzled for a while about this. can you help me, as a matter of fact, all of us understand this.
It just gets better every day....

Do oyu have any fresh numbers to plug in next to these projections to test their accuracy?

Perm Baf,


May 2005 ASPO news letter shows

regular oil 2006

Heavy 2021

deepwater 2014

polar 2030

gas liquid 2027

These numbers also include 145 billion barrels of regular oil that have yet to be discovered.

If we keep using 82 million barrels per day. Thats just under 30 billion barrels a year...........

all averaged together 2007
Peace out!

Question: the production numbers seems to be low, are we considering only conventional oil here?

Heavy, deepwater, polar, gas liquid (condensate) are not conventional crude.

The dates I copied from ASPO are for the type listed next to the date.

So the answer to your question is 'no'.
Peace out!

ASPO Spreadsheet-"All-Peak.xls"

Unread postby PeakOiler » Sat 12 Nov 2005, 10:33:29

Pardon my ignorance, but can anyone tell me where I might download the latest version of ASPO's "All-Peak" spreadsheet?

The version I have has a "Last Modified Date" of January, 2005. ASPO Ireland's website under the "Graphs and Country Profiles" tab relates that new graphs would be available last August.

I am also curious if the data in each ASPO Newsletter's "Country Assesments" tables will be updated, or have been updated elsewhere, and I'm just not looking in the right place.

Thanks in advance.

ASPO doesn't provide detailed data. The latest figures can be found in newsletter 59
