$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('OilFinder2', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'T')his is called the bottom of the barrel or The Dregs.

Except, the bottom of this particular barrel just happens to be 161.5 times the size of the top of the barrel.
Since when is production rate a function of reservoir size? You know better than that.

I have a sneaking suspicion they'll eventually be able to produce at a greater rate from the 323 million barrel reserves than they currently do from their 2 million barrel reserves.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'I') have no idea why you would say that? How can you be confident those 323 million barrels, the last in the field and produced by a technology designed to extract bitumen, will move as quickly as the free-flowing 2 million?

1. How do we know that their first 2 million in reserves were all that "free-flowing," and,
2. Even if they were free-flowing, 2 million in reserves is diddly-squat. Even if that first 2 million in reserves were all 40 degree oil buried only 5,000 feet beneath the surface in very porous rocks, they're probably only sucking 20K bpd from it, or something like that. I find it quite easy to believe they can eventually suck more than 20K bpd from even the worst heavy gunk or most impervious "ceramic" in the world, if they're saying they've got 323 million barrels of it they're willing to add to their reserves.

A cornucopian?? No.......but maybe a Panglossian ! LOL

That's close enough. :wink:

One other point of order. Being a new member at peakoil.com does not mean you are ignorant of peak oil and /or its ramifications. Years ago I was a member of the first yahoo user group "running on empty" until it got a little weird! LOL

Next, please keep in mind that being a "doomer" is by no means new to the human condition. Peak Oil, the anticipation of the antichrist, looking for the 12th Imam.... does not mean you have to drink the Koolaid or be on the next away team to the comet Hale-Bop. LOL
So put away your converse sneakers, at least for the short term! :)
Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well.

If you are going to use this as a signature, please give the attribution correctly. It's Spencer with a 'c' not an 's'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill

In any case, a paraphrase might be more appropriate. ie

"This is not the beginning. It is not even the ending of the beginning. But it is the beginning of the end."

Oh, I forgot. You're the anti doomer.

:lol: Sorry, I can't help it! :lol:
I can envision a future when the headline, Signifigant Secondary Oil Recovery Report, appears and it turns out someone found an old gas can that was 1/3 full!

Only in hindsight, when a particular field has been emptied will we Really know just how much was in it-provided someeone doesn't have a reason to lie about it.
