Rock & Roll versus The Oil Patch What can the decline of great music teach us about the future of energy?
What is oil? • A little history. • How much do we use? • How much is there? • Crystal ball
Petroleum Origin • Tiny critters and algae(zooplankton and plankton) in oceans die, settle to seafloor and get eaten up. • If everything is JUST RIGHT this stuff gets • preservedandconverted to oil and trapped: • GOM and Niger Delta 5-35 million years ago • Seas that covered North America 150 million yrs ago • Alaska’s north slope 250 million years ago
Petroleum Origin Seal rock Reservoir rock Source Rock Preserved plankton “cooked” just right
Petroleum Origin Oil and gas “migrate” up. Most spills out at surface. A small % gets “trapped”. Oil seep Oil and gas “migrate” up slowly through porous rock
Oil History • Birth of the US oil industry • 1859 • “Drake’s Folly” • Titusville, Pennsylvania • 70 foot well • 20 bbls/day • Created an • overnight oil boom
Oil History The “Lucas Gusher” at Spindletop – Nine days and 800,000 bbls later, it was under control. Jan 10, 1901 – “Big Oil” One well 100,000 bbls/day - Tripled US production
Oil History By 1903, more than 400 wells had been drilled on the dome. …optimum rig spacing ???.
Oil History US - early production bbls per year: 1859: 2 thousand 1869: 4 million 1879: 20 million 1889: 35 million 1899: 50 million 1906: 130 million Civil War Rockefeller/Std Oil OH Internal Combustion Engine Spindletop
Oil History Today Our thirst for conventional oil: US consumption 20,000,000 bbl/day Global consumption 86,000,000 bbl/day Global (all energy) 226,000,000 BOEPD Annual global oil consumption >30,000,000,000 bbl/year That’s 42,000 gallons per second An issue of SCALE
How do we produce our energy? World Energy Supply 87% fossil fuels 39% US Energy Consumption EIA, 2009 23% 23% 8% >3% 3%
How do we produce energy? Solar/PVE 1% Geothermal 8% US Renewable Energy Waste Wind Hydro 35% Biofuels 8% Nuclear 9% Wood Derived Coal 21% Data- EIA, 2009 Petroleum 37% Natural Gas 25% Total Consumption
Energy Resources Uranium Hydro Conventional Oil Coal Biomass Natural Gas What do we use it for? Transportation Electricity Heat Data from EIA 2007 S. Tinker, Univ. Texas Austin Bur. Econ. Geol., AAPG, April 2008
Th, Fri: Campus Sustainability • Assignment: • 3 multiple choice questions • With correct answer indicated, • With 1-2 sentence discussion/explanation of correct answer
Presentation ScheduleNov 30th-Dec 3rd • 7 minutes per total: 5 min talk + 2 min questions • Practice! Practice! Practice!
Hydrocarbon Resources CONVENTIONAL OIL “Geological Endowment” 3 Trillion Barrels*(*but we can’t get this all out) We’ve used 1.1 Trillion barrels Remaining reserves 1.3 Trillion barrels ~35 year supply (at current consumption rates)
Into the future… …problem - 25 Years from now: Globally by 2035 Energy consumption up 49% CO2emissions up 43% Oil priceup 100% ($133/bbl) According to US Energy Information Agency (EIA) May 25, 2010
Supply and Demand “PEAK OIL” What will fill this gap? Production Decline … when ½ of recoverable oil has been produced and demand outstrips supply Hubbert’s Peak M. King Hubbert 1956
Rolling Stone Magazine Top 500 Songs of All Time
Rock & Roll versus Oil “Peak Rock” Have we exhausted all of the good music? What fills the Gap? Demand for good music Music Quality
Alternative Music Rap Hip Hop Acid Jazz Punk Gothic Rock Rave Post punk Straightedge Grunge Brit Pop Jam Shoegazing Electronica Indie
What will fill the gap? According to the EIA (2010) Biofuels will account for most growth in liquid fuel consumption in the United States over the next 25 years. BUT – Fossil fuel consumption will continue at near-current levels. What about projected HC production declines?
Energy Resources • “Unconventional Hydrocarbons” • There is a LOT of it! • Natural gas • Deep Gas (+15,000’) – now conventional • Tight Gas - adds 17% to US gas resource • Shale Gas – adds 25% • Coalbed Methane – adds 8% • Methane Hydrate– 2 to 20 times global NG supply • Unconventional (heavy) oil • Shale Oil – 3 Trillion Barrels • Tar Sands – 3.5 Trillion Barrels The world has more hydrocarbons than we are likely to ever use.
Energy Resources OIL INDUSTRY CONVERSIONS
Energy Resources COAL World reserves about 1000 BMT (billion metric tons) Relatively evenly distributed throughout the world U.S. reserves: 25% of the world reserves Annual global consumption 5 BMT (meaning the world has 200 years @ current production) China, U.S., and Russia account for 50% of total CO2 released

Things to Ponder… • The age of oil will not end • for lack of hydrocarbon resources. • Technology will take us in new directions. • Need radical shift away from: • internal combustion engine • pulverized coal-fired power plants • But, must be done as technology allows. • Rushing will cost dearly. • Invest heavily – BUT CAREFULLY – in renewable energy alternatives. The challenge: SCALE of consumption and of technology.
Presentation Schedule- everyone sign up! Bring your talk on a jump drive BEFORE class time, so I can load it up Every day of the talks: each student (that is not presenting) will prepare 1 multiple choice question

Presentation Tips- preparation: • Don’t wait to the last minute to prepare your talk • When you prepare your talk, focus on what you want people to be thinking about when they leave • You only have 7 min total- every slide counts! • Minimize the amount of text on your slides • Check for consistency in the appearance of your slides- color, font, etc.
Presentation Tips- preparation cont’: From: “Scientifically Speaking- available on class website
Presentation Tips- preparation cont’: You only have 7 min total- every slide counts! Minimize words Be considerate of others, make sure your talk will fit in the alloted time Practice, practice, practice
Presentation Tips: The delivery Talk to the audience, not the board Give a roadmap of your talk at the beginning Do not read your presentation verbatim
