I notice your "catalog" of discoveries has almost no flowrates. Therefore not much relevant to the Peal Oil theory.

Brian Pursley you have the same problem, regardless of how it is formed, how much can you flow?

The factor that is very concerning to me though is reduced oil demand due to a world-wide depression/deflation..... that case, the price of oil may decline neck and neck with declining demand.]]> Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:15:49 -0400 Read the Peak Oil proponents theories a little more closely, they never talk about reserves like you do, it is al about how much you can produce...i.e. flowrates.

Speculation is not the core issue, not even close. Quit wasting our time with your repetitive know-nothing posts.
I have an idea, why don't you do some research on other sites about the peak oil problem?
You won't find much about speculation being the problem. Even if the US government did "something" about it, guess what, there are other commodity exchanges to trade on other than Nymex.]]> Sun, 31 Aug 2008 21:29:59 -0400 You have no clue about why we have energy problems.

By the way Vickram, any time you want to share in those out sized oil profits, you can buy a shares of Exxon any day of the week for about $90 apiece...quit acting like you and your socialist buddies are somehow excluded.

As to your contention that we are now in a "moderate to quiet period of regeneration", if the regeneration does not provide the oil flows we need today, and the over 100 we need in the future, then we have "peak oil", i.e. peak flow rates and a shortage.

Same way with not being able to drill the west coast. With your slow generation rate and the delays in drilling...same thing not enough flow.

Demand destruction will help, of course, but remember those overseas consumers don't have the same (well mostly) cheapened currency that we do.

And by the way I am not a shill for anything. So don't include everyone who thinks we have reached peak flow rates as being in on the "conspiracy".]]> Mon, 23 Jun 2008 23:31:36 -0400

The last thing we need is a reduction in oil prices. We need to conserve, and have needed to for 50 years. High prices are their own cure.

Socialism is just a fancy word for stealing. I know some people in the oil industry who are drilling in the Bakken shale in North Dakota. If through your "wisdom" they were only getting $40-$80 per barrel, they would be losing money. Or are you going to regulate the price of drill pipe, leases, royalties, acidizing services, roughnecks, drilling rigs?
When you take away the incentive of profit to find and produce these oil supplies, you will be walking, not driving.

Watch Venezuela and your friend with similar politics, Hugo Chavez. You are going to see (and are seeing) shortages and massive mis-allocations of resources.]]> Sun, 22 Jun 2008 12:50:07 -0400

cdknop. What are you doing on a site interested in investing in commodities? Seems like a more socialist site would be better for your views.
