Really? I'm still waiting for you to make arrangement to give me 5 barrels so I can give you 2 back in exchange, this being your genius game to get rich.
LOL... You're such a troll. That's not really what I said at all, you perpetual fraud. You keep rolling that straw man out every time you stalk, it has become pathological for you.
Your intellectual dishonesty is showing again, "industry insider."
Not that you know how to calculate a percentage, let alone know what to USE it for, you'll forgive me for ignoring the rest of your pseudo-parrot pretend knowledge.
You've been "ignoring" most everything I've presented that you can't spin, coward. This will be no different, replete with your infantile song and dance routine about how "dumb" you feel I am.
Boooooooooooring. Anyhow <snap snap>... I'm over here! Focus, and count to 10.
Annual growth happens and doesn't require more oil....for those who aren't parrots the word to look up in the dictionary is EFFICIENCY which is how the world, for example, grew quite well once Jimmy was retired, and did it all without using more oil for better than a decade.
Ah, the classic partisan flat-earther. Blaming Carter.
Here's a newsflash: Limits to Growth wasn't wrong. You should actually read it some time, reactionary tool. It predicted a sustained plateau of global production for the first decade of the 21st century, NOT the 80s as you frauds try to spin.
Carter's crisis was man-made and temporary. Growth was still assured back then. Today's is geological and permanent. As always, you're comparing apples to oranges.
Then Americans invented SUVs to soak up all the supply Jimmy claimed was running out and here we go....economics in action all over again and Ford gives us the Exploder for cryin out loud.
It's getting so bad for you, and your tangents so short-sighted, that I'm now convinced you're nothing more than a rage-addled Archie Bunker-like crazy person.
What page of your Straussian handbook is that talking point on, exactly? The condition is far more imminent that innovation will ever solve. Get it yet?
You can't prove a negative.
And yet your argument rests on that challenge to me over and over again.
My experience in the oil industry only goes back 3+ decades.
Speaking of unfalsifiable claims. Irony much? Anyhow, even if true, who gives a shit? I contribute to a weekly international energy investment newsletter. You don't see me masturbating about it on here every time I grapple with you.
Try and stick to claims you can verify with links we can both see. Not just "trust you" on your alleged "expertise." Based on your asshole persona, I don't trust you at face value, and won't. From the half-the-story links you've provided already, I have little doubt most of your pontification here is cut-and-paste industry press release screed.
In that time no one I know, have heard of, or scientific literature I have read has ever hinted, insinuated, claimed or even pretended, that a single well, platform, reservoir or field has ever used EROEI to determine if A SINGLE DOLLAR SHOULD BE SPENT in starting the project.
LOL. ... This is a little bit like asserting that NFL players and coaches you know have never talked about ticket prices, so that doesn't ever affect their game plan. Irrelevant much?
When examining geopolitics, geostrategy, global economics, current events, sociology, decaying infrastructure or merely comparing the efficiency rates of different energy sources, it's pretty clear that ERoEI is a relevant form of measurement.
Here are some men and entities far smarter than you who use it rather prominently, including the U.S. Dept. of Energy:
So again, you're not fooling anyone with your desperate spin. Try and stay on message.
Your ignorance of how the oil and gas world works is not my problem.
No, but your own ignorance sure is your problem. You may be "wicked smart" regarding drilling techniques, but this overall subject matter is clearly too big for you.
Go back to your church and make up something which makes sense already. Find someone with a brain to make stuff up for you first, and here's a clue...try something which matters.
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. Back here in reality, nothing I've presented has been made up, and all of it is quite verifiable, ... and if it doesn't make sense to you, I'd suggest you "edumacate" yourself a bit more on the overall subject matter before running your goofy mouth. Gas from shale is NOT the game changer you laughingly pretend it is.
Of course, you could prove me wrong by activating your last claim of EROEI and start delivering those 5 barrels to me, from which I will repay you with 2. Now THAT is an EROEI ignorance which I can take advantage of! Might as well profit from peak church members, PT Barnum had you guys spotted a LONG ways off!
I've been proving you wrong pretty much since the moment I hit send in my first response to you. You're a shill for the industry, in complete denial of the realities of global flow rates, as well as the lead time required for your wondrous "technology" silver bullets.
You're a Frank Drebbin. A "nothing to see here" fraud. But worse, you're a dick about it, which makes it especially amusing.
The dow dropped 228 yesterday. Saudi's about to light the spark we've all been waiting for... And now the Japan disaster will crush Asian markets. You're about to see just how fragile and weak the global oil machine truly is. But I'm sure you'll still be "PARROTING" the free market explanation for it all, and keep pinning the perpetual recession on some curious global socialist conspiracy. It's what you do.
Global growth is over. Oops. Unregulated capitalism can't fix this one... and you guys can't STAND that. Get over it.
