http://www.peakoil.com/article34933.htmlA multitude of world issues are converging and manifest themselves around future fossil fuel, energy resources, carbon dioxide, oxygen depletion, including water and mineral depletion. All combined alternative energy sources have limited energy potential to fulfill the needs of an existing and expanding world population.
Analysts said the current depletion rate of Saudi Aramco fields, has increased from 8% in 2005 to around 12-14% in 2006. This would mean that new fields coming in production will only be there to cover lost production volumes elsewhere.
British Petroleum Statistical Review of World Energy 2007 said that (oil) consumption was rising more rapidly than production; it would be 40 years before it outstripped it. BP Group chief executive Tony Hayward said the report was a true recount of the world’s oil usage and availability. “I believe that decision-makers, businesses and members of the public will all benefit from the unbiased, carefully collected data to be found in this review,” Mr. Hayward said.
Si c'est bien vrai que les champs de Saudi Aramco sont à des taux de déplétion de plus de 12%, je pense que les fameux " mangeurs de spaghettis ", au grand damne d'E2100, pourraient se régaler...
