Oil Petroleum (crude v heavy crude) 35% economical (more with higher prices) Petrochemicals - byproducts Refining Transporting – net energy

How Long Will the Oil Party Last? Saudi Arabia could supply the world with oil for about 10 years. The Alaska’s North Slope could meet the world oil demand for 6 months (U.S.: 3 years). Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would meet the world demand for 1-5 months (U.S.: 7-25 months)
8
How Long Will the Oil Party Last? We have three options: –Look for more oil. –Use or waste less oil. –Use something else.
9
Oil Advantages and Disadvantages Low land use Easily transported within and between countries High net energy yield Low cost (with huge subsidies) Ample supply for 42–93 years Advantages Moderate water pollution Releases CO 2 when burned Air pollution when burned Artificially low price encourages waste and discourages search for alternatives Need to find substitute within 50 years Disadvantages Efficient distribu- tion system

Oil Shale and Tar Sand Oil shale - rock Low net energy Tar sand Fig. 15-28 p. 361 Low grade Large supplies
