Saudi Arabia's pledge to a post-oil future is contradicted by its' announcement yesterday to import gas while it’s cheap (avoiding huge production costs of domestic sour-gas).

Russia has been dropping its asking price for gas faster than anyone else to maintain market share.

Canadian and Russian proven reserves are very suspect and reports have been downplayed by BP economists.

The biggest variable in all reporting on energy and economics is that China's reported growth rate is unreliable.

China may have peaked in terms of coal use, either slowing consumption or switching to gas.

Renewables BTFO - even with a modelled growth rate bigger than any previous energy sector, renewables can only reach 8-10% market share in the coming decades.

While most questions were related to renewables, their penetration into producing societies is just too far away.

Growth of electric vehicles will require a simultaneous changeover in power generation - viable to go green in a hydro-centric place like Norway, but mostly a non-issue

While the US rig count increased last week for the first time in a while, oil rigs are just starting to move with $50 WTI. Note that improving technology will make shale/tight oil very prospective: increasing recovery rates from 5% to 10% doubles the recoverables.

Amazingly, only 3% of worldwide proven reserves are in acreages held by companies - peak oil is nowhere near.

Energy and airplanes are the biggest growth markets, I think us biz/ness wannabes need to take that into account

What? Nobody interested in the future of energy?

i am senpai

1k in voov, 1k in EVA, 500 in sdrl

>BP

shit company. Don't care what their particularly biased report says.

>>1294976
sdrl good lottery ticket? Got few also. When divs start comming, it doesnt matter what the price is anyway.

>>1295200
Thats the plan, may even buy a few more now while theyre on sale

If you add the methane produced by natural gas to the CO2 produced, it is arguably worse than Coal for global warming.

>>1295454
Natural gas is methane. The goal is not to release any, but sell it. Plenty of methane released when mining coal, don't kid yourself. Coal is by far the dirtiest

>>1295454
If you add the methane produced by ur mum to the CO2 produced, it is arguably worse than Coal for global warming.

>>1295727
If you add Ur mum to 4chan she'll be saged and that says a lot, these fucked would far to anything (else)

Welp this can go one of two ways.

>>1294232
that do you think of SO for a low beta pick?

>>1295454
Global warming is a hoax you millennial faggot

Abandon thread, holy shit this didn't work out well

>>1295748
so what... pour in more cash and wait for lift off?

>>1293067
What does this mean for fracking?

>>1295711
It is primarily methane.

Not 100% methane.

And some always gets lost into the atmosphere.

Overall natural gas releases less greenhouse gases than coal for the amount of energy produced. Fuck.

Thanks for the heads up and interesting points OP.

>Renewables BTFO
> can only reach 8-10% market share in the coming decades

Yeah it's amazing how low renewables use is compared to the rhetoric around it

>Renewables in power generation continued to grow robustly, to nearly 3% of global primary energy consumption,

Maybe so, but too many retards point to CO2 like its the only greenhouse gas.

>>1297594
And that's with immense subsidies and tax breaks.

Renewables are actually killing natural gas, hydro, and nuclear while incentivizing more coal in America. Also in China and Europe.

>>1297465
Now you're being pedantic, fuck off
