Global
oil reserves - Hopes and Reality
Monday 23 May, 2005, Ångström
laboratory, Uppsala University
|
(The seminar will soon be available streamed)
Program
The world has now consumed half of its currently known
global crude oil reserves and we are now at the twilight of the oil era.
Demand is increasing while oilfields are aging and discovery rates are dropping.
Will oil sands and other alternatives be sustainable? Is natural gas an
alternative?
Matthew Simmons, Chairman and CEO of Simmons &
Company International, a Houston-based energy investment bank, has been
analysing and investing in the oil industry for 35 years. His energy research
has been widely published in almost every energy trade journal. He is a
frequent energy speaker at leading energy companies, boards and manager
retreats was an active participant in the Bush Energy Strategy during the
2000 President’s Campaign. His new book Twilight in the Desert: The Coming
Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy will be released on May 27, 2005.
Dr. Robert L. Hirsch is a Senior Energy Program
Advisor has served on numerous advisory committees. Recently he has completed
a study for the U.S. Department of Energy analysing viable technologies
to mitigate oil shortages associated with the upcoming peaking of world
oil production.
At the seminar present research work carried out
at Uppsala University by the Uppsala Hydrocarbon Depletion Study Group will
also be presented.
Also the planned programme of an Energy Committee
newly appointed within the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will be presented
by its chairman.
