I have that very dissertation (Giant Oil Fields - The Highway to Oil) lying here at my desk, and will go to the defence of the doctoral thesis in a few days. The opponent will be a certain Robert Hirsch.

I don't know when it will be published, if it will be published at all. I am not sure what the routines look like.Newsseeker wrote:Starvid wrote:Haha!

Please post a link when you do. Where will you be publishing the defense?
No, in academic peer review you always have an opponent who is there to point out the eventual flaws. It's really a formality as in 99 % of all cases they have been ironed out before or they wouldn't bring it to the opponent.SoothSayer wrote:The opponent will be a certain Robert Hirsch.
So does RH deny the content and/or conclusions of this PhD paper?
I have no idea if he knows about it or not, but you can find information about it here: http://publications.uu.se/abstract.xsql?dbid=7625Newsseeker wrote:Starvid wrote:Haha!

Is Chris Skrebowski aware of this thesis and how widely disseminated is it?

They just love to forget that in Aesop's fable the wolf eventually did rear up its gluttonous head...

“By 2010, the production of the fuel that has driven the world’s economy will start to rapidly decline. This will conflict with the steadily increasing demand for oil. The collision of these two trends will lead to shortages and increased prices, providing a strong incentive to shift to alternative fuel resources…Due to unequal distribution through the world of oil and gas supply and consumption, [the upcoming] transition will result in significant shifts in global power and wealth.”
Conclusions: a moderate rise in OPEC production will be partially offset by decreasing production in the Rest of World, with FSU production steady. A production peak of ultradeep water fields will allow the “peak” to be a “plateau during the coming decade, followed by a sharp fall. An increase in production of unconventional oil and natural gas liquids can add 5 million b/day during the coming decade. The current supply-side crisis is due to peak oil reached in the Rest of World in 2003, combined with a cessation of significant production growth in Russia after 2004.
The IEA says we have 6-7 trillion barrels of something else left, all of it lower than the $150 mark. So we'll just live off another 6-7 trillion of frenzy into the next century, and maybe by then there will be windmills everywhere, idiot liquid powered transport will be outlawed, and we can worry about the union wages paid the windmill repair guys, because they have become really, REALLY important.
