Good afternoon GRH,
If I may take up the baton re Investment, long term planning and where to find more oil.
To quote your quote ‘ IEA
• From 2005-2014 fossil fuel companies spent $7.6 TRILLION on exploration and production ’
Does big oil need to find more oil, I believe not (in the short term)
Take T&T as one example, there are thousands of legacy oil fields, decades past peak production, billions of barrels of oil sitting unable to be economically extracted.
We know where the oil is, we know approx how much oil is left (after a RF of say 65%)
What we do not need to do is invest another $7.6 trillion to try and find more oil, we are sitting on it, we just need new technology and a willingness to use said technology.
This is what lies at the heart of our ambitions in T&T. Carbon Capture to enhance oil recovery.
No requirement to battle local planners, all these legacy oil fields have Grand Father rights.
Do not take your eye off the possible prize in T&T, whilst waiting for results from Morocco.
$7.6 trillion, if we had 1% of 1% of that sum………….
