Gasoline prices are rising. Food prices are rising. Mortgage payments are rising.

Things are getting tight all around.

Global oil exports have peaked, and the world is now entering an unprecedented energy transition that taking the world economy by surprise.

How will declining oil exports impact individuals, businesses, communities and entire nations?

How do economy, energy, and environment relate to each other and foretell the challenges of tomorrow?

Join with a broad array of professionals, community leaders, politicians, and concerned citizens to explore the causes of these economic changes. Learn how the economy responds to climate change, biodiversity loss, population growth and other factors of global importance. Find out what can be done to prepare and build resilience for this uncertain future.

Come to “The International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate Change: Paths to Sustainability”. Featuring over 40 speakers, including high-powered, international presenters Richard Heinberg, Dr. David Goodstein, Megan Quinn Bachman, Julian Darley, Stephanie Mills and Pat Murphy, the uncertainties of economy, energy, and climate will be illuminated in this important and timely gathering.

The event begins on Friday evening, May 30 and continues through Sunday, June 1, 2008. The venue is the Fine Arts Center of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Registration is now open and includes full access to the conference, as well as lunch on both Saturday and Sunday.

Space is limited. Register now for this unique and timely conference on the economy, energy and our environment.

Oil Depletion (Part 1): Why Depletion Matters

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 01:02:04 +0000

The first in a multi-part series examining our changing energy situation. The first entry introduces the concept of depletion and details why consumers are generally unaware of pending shortages when supplies continue to increase. Future entries explain the mathematical concept of linearization and apply the technique to domestic oil production. The series concludes with a look at global production and limitations of the model.

Petroleum Engineers

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 02:16:14 +0000

Analyzes technical and cost factors to plan methods to recover maximum oil and gas in oil-field operations, utilizing knowledge of petroleum engineering and related technologies: Examines map of subsurface oil and gas reservoir locations to recommend placement of wells to maximize economical production from reservoir. Evaluates probable well production rate during natural or stimulated-flow production phases. Recommends supplementary processes to enhance recovery involving stimulation of flow by use of processes, such as pressurizing or heating in subsurface regions. Analyzes recommendations of reservoir engineering specialist for placement of well in oil field. Develops well drilling plan for management approval, specifying factors including drilling time, number of special operations, such as directional drilling, and testing, and material requirements and costs including well casing and drilling muds. Provides technical consultation during drilling operations to resolve problems such as bore directional change, unsatisfactory drilling rate or invasion of subsurface water in well bore. Advises substitution of drilling mud compounds or tool bits to improve drilling conditions. Inspects well to determine that final casing and tubing installations are completed. Plans oil and gas field recovery containers, piping, and treatment vessels to receive, remove contaminants, and separate oil and gas products flowing from well. Monitors production rate of gas or oil from established wells and plans rework process to correct well production, such as repacking of well bore and additional perforation of subsurface sands adjacent to well bottom. May apply knowledge of petroleum engineering to solve problems concerned with environment. May be designated according to specialty as Development Engineer, Geothermal Operations; Drilling Engineer; Production Engineer; Reservoir Engineer.

THE BOTTOMLESS WELL: Are We Running out of Energy?

admin — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:53:07 +0000

Many petroleum experts predict that world oil production will peak by the end of the decade. Will the United States soon be entering a period of worsening energy shortages and soaring energy costs? And, if so, what should the government to do about it? Or will the ever-improving technological efficiencies of the free market provide access to virtually endless sources of new energy? Peter Robinson speaks with Peter Huber and Jonathan Koomey.
