Nigeria’s oil reserves to be depleted in 49 years – DPR
The nation’s crude oil reserves of 37 billion barrels, two per cent of which is being produced annually, will be depleted in 49 years, according to the Department of Petroleum Resources.
The reserves, which stood at 37.45 billion barrels in 2014, fell to 37.06 billion barrels in 2015 and 36.74 billion barrels in 2016. It, however, rose to 36.97 billion barrels in 2017 and 37 billion barrels in 2018, the DPR data showed.
“The nation’s depletion rate and life index are 2.04 per cent and 49.03 years respectively,” the regulator said.
The reserves depletion rate is a measure of 2018 total oil and condensate production divided by the reserves as of January 1, 2019, according to the DPR.
It said, “This indicator gives a bird’s eye on an annual basis, what percentage proportion of the quoted reserves was produced.
“The life index, on the other hand, is a measure of the reserves as of January 1, 2019, divided by the total production in 2018. This parameter highlights how long (in years) quoted reserves volumes will be available for production.”
The DPR said to achieve the government’s aspiration of four million barrels per day production and reserves of 40 billion barrels, “there is a need for corresponding increase in reserves as production increases.”
He noted that if that was not done, “the life index will fall from a sustainable long-term threshold to a less futuristic and sustainable medium to short-term range.”
The nation’s oil and gas production structure is majorly split between Joint Ventures onshore and in shallow water with foreign and local companies, and the Production Sharing Contracts in deepwater offshore, to which most of the international oil companies have shifted their focus in recent years.
The JV operators, despite having the highest production (about 41.64 per cent) among all the contract types, recorded a low depletion rate of about 1.8 per cent and high life index of 56.34 years, according to the DPR.
It said the PSC companies had the highest depletion rate of 3.10 per cent and the lowest life index of 32.15 years, while accounting for about 36.08 per cent of the nation’s total production.
“Perhaps, the companies may have taken advantage of the poor government take in the deep offshore terrain to deplete the reserves therein with little regard for long-term sustainable production as amplified by the life index,” the regulator said in a report.
It said the sole risk companies had the lowest depletion rate of 1.5 per cent and the highest life index of 65.49 years.
The regulator said these companies accounted for about 20.14 per cent of the nation’s total production in 2018, adding, “This depletion rate does not reflect the fact these companies hold the second largest reserves of about 26.90 per cent.”
The marginal field operators produced about 2.14 per cent of the nation’s total production in 2018, with a depletion rate of about 2.7 per cent, life index of 36.83 years and a national reserves portfolio of 1.61 per cent.
The DPR said about nine operating companies, which it described as “unhealthy”, “have oil and condensate life index of less than 15 years.”
“The statistics paint a very gloomy picture for these companies and urgent steps will be taken to address this observed trend. The department is engaging the companies to review their strategic plan to guarantee future reserves growth in order for them to remain in business,” it said.
According to the regulator, as of January 1, 2019, the reserves replacement ratio, which measures the addition to reserves relative to the total production, for Nigeria’s oil and condensate reserves stood at four per cent.
It said “Though this shows a positive RRR, it is not an impressive performance as just four per cent of the 2018 annual production was replaced via net addition to reserves.
“The ideal scenario is when we have a 100 per cent RRR, i.e replace reserves at the same production rate. The RRR is used to judge the operating performance of the exploration and production industry. An RRR that is consistently over 100 per cent is ideal as it indicates that more reserve is being replaced than is produced.”
Last week, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, said the nation’s oil sector had worsened as the uncertain fiscal environment put a damper on the investments badly needed to ramp up oil production and increase reserves.
He warned that most of the resources might have to be left in the ground if not explored and produced before the world moves away from oil.
He said, “If there is a lot of exploration, we believe that a lot of oil still remains to be found in Nigeria. And that is the beauty about Nigeria. Nigeria is not yet a mature territory; it is still very prolific.”
“There has been no targeted exploration for gas and yet we have 200 Tcf reserves. So, we believe that if we really go out looking for gas, we can find a lot more that will put us in the league of the most prolific in the world.
“Let us allow the investment to come into Nigeria, because there is still a lot of oil and gas to be found. Unfortunately, the bad news is that the world’s 2020 outlook tells you that by 2040, oil and gas will account for only 50 per cent of the energy of the world.”

Life span solar panels. In space they work for 60 years and counting:
https://www.solarpowerrocks.com/solar-basics/how-long-solar-panels-last/
“In fact, solar panels have been used over 60 years to keep communications and exploration satellites running, and the astronauts on the International Space Station have trusted their lives to solar power for over 13 years. IN THE HARSH ENVIRONMENT OF SPACE.”
A liter of diesel is gone for ever after it has been burned. Solar panels keep soldier on.

Sure, polite question, polite answer.
As you no doubt know, EROI is central:
https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2017/08/05/solar-eroi/
The crucial point to make is that pv solar is originally a space thingy, where efficiency was everything and EROI didn’t matter.
But now it does as the world is moving towards a “solar economy”. EROI gains can be made by optimizing production processes and moving towards thin film solar. Expect EROI 30 in Europe and 60 in Arabia and Africa. More than good enough.

“It is worth noticing that, of course, the EROI of PV is a strong function of the irradiation available at the region of deployment and that the calculations presented and discussed in this paper are only valid for Switzerland; EROIs as high as 60 are reported for high irradiation regions (Leccisi et al., 2016).”

“MIT: Why the electric-car revolution may take a lot longer than expected”
https://tinyurl.com/uvaxap4 energy skeptic
“The numbers Current lithium-ion battery packs are estimated to cost from around $175 to $300 per kilowatt-hour. (A typical midrange EV has a 60/kWh battery pack.) A number of commercial and academic researchers have projected that the costs of such batteries will reach $100/kWh by 2025 or before, which many proclaim is the “magic number” where EVs and gas-fueled vehicles reach retail price parity without subsidies. And they would continue to fall from there. But reaching the $100 threshold by 2030 would require material costs to remain flat for the next decade, during a period when global demand for lithium-ion batteries is expected to rise sharply, MIT’s “Insights into Future Mobility” study notes. It projects that costs will likely fall only to $124 per kilowatt-hour by then. At that point, the “total cost of ownership” between the categories would be about the same, given the additional fuel and maintenance costs of gas-fueled vehicles. (Where these lines cross precisely depends heavily on local fuel costs and vehicle type, among other factors.)… The MIT study projects that the share of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids will rise in any scenario, reaching 33% of the global vehicle fleet by 2050 as prices slowly decline, even with no additional climate polices. But a strong set of additional regulations, including a global carbon tax set high enough to prevent 2 ˚C of warming, would push that figure to 50% by mid-century. That would add up to hundreds of millions of additional low-emission vehicles on the roads, and prevent 1.5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide from reaching the atmosphere.”

I personally like EV’s because I like the freedom it can offer if you are able to generate your own power. Here on the REAL Green Ranch my intensions are to invest in a low cost EV truck and more panels to power it…someday. Currently the economics is not there for this. I would also like to get a low HP electric tractor but currently nothing is available that is economic. I am looking for a 30HP tractor. I would like a truck in the size range of the 2002 Toyota Tacoma I have now. I believe the EV’s will continue to reshape the transportation environment but I do not see a transition. The case for this is scale and time/money. The scale of a billion EV’s is nonsense and the rate of decline of the global economy has accelerated. This means a poorer world will not have the wherewithal to transform the vehicle stock of the world by a fraction of what fake greens talk about. I do believe some locations will go significantly electric but globally I don’t see it. Realgreenadaptation.blog

One has to wonder who puts all the effort into advancing the ridiculous propaganda. The supply of oil will depend on the price, not barrels in ground. When it is no longer economically viable to produce it, it won’t be. When the economy can no longer afford to buy it, it won’t. Anything remaining after that will revert to the earth worms, which will be the majority of it.

This is getting serious now. Some of you may have noticed this morning that the stock indexes are heading into the worst open in years. Today, Mr. Market woke up, like Rip Van Winkle, and discovered that the world changed while he was sleeping. There’s a fair chance that the conditions of daily life in America will deteriorate sharply in the months ahead. We’ve been remote-viewing the empty streets of Wuhan and other Chinese cities since January, thinking it was like one of our cable-network horror shows. It’s not inconceivable that an American city, or more than one, will be subject to quarantine, or that a whole lot of people just won’t leave their houses for a period of time. Will the truckers still truck things that people need? We don’t know. How do you hold a political convention in a situation like that, or even an election? The situation in China may be too far gone already. The country’s finances were a gigantic game of pretend. In the old Soviet Union, beloved by Bernie, the joke was, “they pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work” — not a great formula for enduring prosperity. In China, the updated joke was “we pretend to make loans, and you pretend to pay them back.” The China boom was a lot like the shale oil “miracle.” They were both great stunts. They produced a lot of stuff by borrowing from the future. Now we have all that stuff and we have to maintain it, keep it running, borrow more money to make that happen… and suddenly, that’s no longer plausible. The entire industrialized world has fallen for the debt stunt. Observers have been waiting to see what would finally provoke the unwinding of massive false promises. Looks like the wait is over.

“Their temples were razed, their idols smashed, their women raped, their men killed or taken slaves. When Mahmud of Ghazni entered Somnath on one of his annual raids, he slaughtered all 50,000 inhabitants. Aibak killed and enslaved hundreds of thousands. The list of horrors is long and painful. These conquerors justified their deeds by claiming it was their religious duty to smite non-believers. Cloaking themselves in the banner of Islam, they claimed they were fighting for their faith when, in reality, they were indulging in straightforward slaughter and pillage…”
A sample of contemporary eyewitness accounts of the invaders and rulers, during the Indian conquests
The Afghan ruler Mahmud al-Ghazni invaded India no less than seventeen times between 1001 – 1026 AD. The book ‘Tarikh-i-Yamini’ – written by his secretary documents several episodes of his bloody military campaigns : “The blood of the infidels flowed so copiously [at the Indian city of Thanesar] that the stream was discoloured, notwithstanding its purity, and people were unable to drink it…the infidels deserted the fort and tried to cross the foaming river…but many of them were slain, taken or drowned… Nearly fifty thousand men were killed.”

“I’ve Seriously Tried to Believe Capitalism and the Planet can Coexist, but I’ve lost Faith”
By Samuel Alexander, originally published by The Conversation
https://tinyurl.com/wljy2ob resiliance
“What about ‘green growth’? Most mainstream economists and politicians accept the science on the dire state of the planet, but not many people think capitalism is the problem. Instead, the dominant response to the ecological crisis is to call for ‘green growth’. This theory involves producing ever more goods and services, but with fewer resources and impacts. So a business might design its products to have less environmental impact, or a product at the end of its life could be reused – sometimes called a ‘circular economy’. If our entire economy produced and consumed goods and services like this, we mightn’t need to abandon the growth economics inherent to capitalism. Instead, we would just “decouple” economic growth from environmental impact. Too good to be true There are several big problems with green growth theory. First, it isn’t happening at the global scale – and where it is happening to a limited extent within nations, the change is not fast or deep enough to head off dangerous climate change. Second, the extent of “decoupling” required is simply too great. Ecological footprint accounting shows we need 1.75 planets to support existing economic activity into the future – yet every nation seeks more growth and ever-rising material living standards. Trying to reform capitalism – with a carbon tax here and some redistribution there – might go some way to reducing environmental harm and advancing social justice.”
REAL Green on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 5:27 am
A key point to REAL Green and that is there is no green growth. It might be a bit greener and that is better but not green. In fact it is the deception that at a certain point could be worse. The deception will lead people to radically advance irrational policy that will enhance abandonment and dysfunction. Some will welcome this anyway because they seek a planet with less human impact. This is a valid argument for degrowth but it should not be masked in lies. This kind of degrowth will kill people and this should be made clear and polices to adapt and mitigate applied in response. The reality is a collapse process will force this degrowth anyway the issue is should human influence hasten it.
Green growth is dirty and destructive. It can make our human civilization more resilient and sustainable to a point. Most policies talked about by pro green growth socialist are not rational. They are in economic and science denial. Renewables and other green policy lack the physical wherewithal to go 100% transition and it cannot be afforded. The behavior is not correct either. Green growth calls for more behavior that got us to where we are at and that is a carbon trap in path dependencies. The debate may never materialize because it appears the economic decline will trump the issue anyway. A green new deal is hugely expensive and will require globalism’s value chains. Globlism is slowly dying so green new deal does not have the time or the money. The other option of active degrowth policy will likely stall when people start reacting to suffering.
The place where these dual forces of changes can be made is locally. Locally the force of active degrowth and green growth can be embraced. It is this hybrid arrangement that can succeed locally because scaling is proper. The critical aspect of behavior can be right too because the scaling allows realistic human action. Triage is needed to begin the process of repairing the delocalization effects of globalism. The old ways of low carbon capture and home economics embraced in an attitude of simplicity. This is a relative effort that will differ between place and position. Rich people will adapt different than poor. The reason for this is these localized changes occur in the shadow of globalism. Globalism destroys forces that are not adapted to it.
This is not for everyone because some are more trapped than others in globalism embrace. This embrace is behavioral as well as physical. It is those who can that should and the reason is they will be the ones to plant the seeds of rebirth of the human project if humans don’t end that. Extinction is possible and that needs to be accepted. REAL Green is about a journey not the destination. It is an add-on to your existing meaning. It is a journey to truth which in this time is planetary and human decline. Since the truth can never be known then the destination is not the point. The point is getting closer to the truth which is a journey. A truth currently being manifested is that humans do not scale green or brown. Scale is critical for both behavior and physical harmony and can only occur locally.

A further ‘D’, deregulation, is being implemented in the electricity market…AutoGrid is partnered with Japanese energy supply management company ENERES, which is seeking to integrate the US company’s distributed energy resources management (DERMs) and virtual power plant (VPP) aggregation platforms into new services it will roll out into Japan’s deregulated, post-feed in tariff market. “ENERES are leveraging our platform, to be able to run DERMs and VPP applications, we are their technology provider in that sense. We are enabling ENERES to combine a variety of different assets at scale,” Rahul Kaur said, with those dispatchable assets’ capabilities…The key to that, for AutoGrid and for Japan’s 4Ds in general, Kar said, will be enabling a scalable and reliable solution, whether that be in the residential or commercial market segments. It also perhaps explains why to some outsiders, the pace of this adaptation process may seem to be moving slower than the various technological advances that will enable them. “You have to be able to scale, whether you’re working with residential or commercial units. We’re not talking about a thousand units which you can relatively easily optimise. This is where you have to design for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of devices that are sending you signals in near real-time or waiting for you to give them plans to drive. That’s not an easy problem to solve.”

“Cloggo’s silk road sucking”
Empire dave and his very American inability to think in the long term, very much unlike Eurasians. Corona will be over in 1-2 years max. but the European Renewable Energy Strategy as well as the all-Eurasian anti-Anglo New Silk Road projects are designed for decades or more.
Americans like empire dave do not look further into the future than his nose is long. No empire can exist on that basis.

“Cloggo’s silk road sucking” “Empire dave and his very American inability to think in the long term, very much unlike Eurasians.”
Long term thinking is acceptance of a collapse process something the cloggo can’t fathom.
“Corona will be over in 1-2 years max. but the European Renewable Energy Strategy as well as the all-Eurasian anti-Anglo New Silk Road projects are designed for decades or more.”
The virus may or may not be over in 2 years but the economic fallout is here to stay. EU renewable energy efforts will likely stall in this destructive economic process. The silk road is likely dead.
“Americans like empire dave do not look further into the future than his nose is long. No empire can exist on that basis.”
Translation: I’m mad at him.

Burnie 2020!
Sanders Supporters Get “#EatTheRich” Trending On Twitter In Epic Bloomberg Troll
It’s official: A gang of terminally online Bernie Sanders supporters has succeeded in making the hashtag “#EatTheRich” the most popular political hashtag in the US as part of a campaign to mock Michael Bloomberg’s decision to ‘buy the presidency’ by pouring his immense wealth into self-financing his campaign.
It all started when one user pointed out that Bloomberg once supported Michigan’s former Republican Gov. Rich Snyder, the public official who has been blamed for Flint’s Water Crisis, before arguing that Bloomberg could single-handedly “fix” Flint’s water crisis (federal officials actually certified that Flint’s water was safe to drink back in 2017) with just a fraction of the money – a mere $50 million – that he had spent on his campaign.

world grater supremacist muzzies jerk on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 7:52 am
2000 years since (((supremetard))) went to china so to speak
5 billion years since I started warning the world about violent beastial supremacist muzzies
A few months since nixon (it is i) went to china
And the world haven’t learned anything but BAU
Whitey supertard trump sells dotheads expensive weapons for roasting of muzzies
Then dotheads and western countries pay jizya to muzzies for buying arms
The people’s trial of global muzzies for crimes against humanity will convict and sentence to death.
There are no extremist muzzies. All muzzies are extremist supremacist. Caliph Erdogan said there’s only muzzies so I didn’t make it up.
The internet opens up a muzzie doctrine the same way printing press made bible a available to the masses. But this modern gutenberg is full of muzzies lovin’.
So much so that its effects of shine light on muzzies beastial conquest supremacist doctrine is pale in comparison to muzzies propaganda and muzzies warring capability achieving that of a modern army 4th generation warfare as witnessed in the conduct of war by muzzies isis
