Comprehensive Projection of World Oil Exports

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the firewood-futures-market dept.

Prof. Goose writes, "This article is a comprehensive assessment of world oil exports, defined has the total amount of liquid hydrocarbons that are surpluses in producing countries. This assessment is made by projecting into the future fixed change rates that reflect current trends in liquids production and consumption in all countries where presently the difference between the two factors is positive. The outcome of this assessment is rather worrisome." Here is the money graph through 2020.

    I'm not worried about these projections, I create my own oil by living off a strict diet of pizza and cheetos. Sometimes the squeezing is a bit labor intensive, but as soon as I figure out how to make gasoline out of my oily skin I'm on the road to riches!

  3. Great! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    I honestly fail to see how this is "worrisome", it's great!

    This means that we will run out of oil long before carbondioxide makes the world uninhabitable. //0xFE

    Using energy, particularly derived from fossil fuels, is a RIGHT! Nay, an OBLIGATION!

    Only a terrorist or a commie pinko would think of energy usage as a cost, something to be balanced and minimized!

    Yeah, people keep talking about how the oil supply is finite, and they keep turning out to be wrong. Obviously it's infinite, so let's just stop worrying!

    The outcome of this assessment is rather worrisome.

    Well, isn't that the point?

    I mean, I took temperature measurements from 5 different hours this morning and got the following results:
    5am = 35 F
    6am = 40 F
    7am = 45 F
    8am = 50 F
    9am = 55 F

    By midnight, trends indicate it's going to be around 130 degrees F! I need to post this on the intarweb, so everyone will know that the sky is indeed falling. My conservative projections prove it.

  11. World oil exports? by Eric+Smith · · Score: 4, Funny

    The world exports only a tiny amount of oil, and of that only a completely insignificant fraction has left the solar system.

    I'd worry far more about the oil we use on-planet.
