"Flipping great. Just what we needed, massive oil find in the South East. Why couldn't they find it in Geordie land or something. Something else to make the South East even wealthier than the rest of the country. Marvellous." Maybe, but at least us northeners don't need to be fracked any more. | |||

"They've claimed to have discovered millions of galloons of oil underneath Gatwick Airport. All I'm saying, remember Del boy, and Peckham springs. " (Galloons) Of oil .. I used to love watching Del boy on tv david jason was great as was rodney, and grandad. | |||

"Unless an agreement can be reached with Argentina to refine and transport the oil via pipe-lines through Argentina no oil will be economically produced in the territorial waters around the Falkland's.... Even a continuous fleet of tankers could not handle the production volume needed to ship the oil from the Falkland's to a neutral location and that's even presuming the seasonal sea state and weather condition would be managed in such a way to allow year long tanker activity...... The only viable option is a sub-sea template linked to a pipeline.... and a sub sea pipe line could only effectively handle the volume if land fall was made in Argentinian mainland....... " I'm sure a mutual agreement could be made if they ever got round to seriously crunching some numbers. That would be one seriously long pipe!!! | |||

"Won't be long before the pumpjacks will be going up. Exciting times for the industry with the Falklands score and the opportunities that Fracking presents. I don't think the government can get away with unilaterally invading somewhere else to control their oil anymore. Looking closer to home will now be viable and attractive. Greenbelt what greenbelt? " . There's no oil in the Falklands!. The tiny bit they've found wouldn't run Britain for six months. The three biggest and unexpected oil finds in 50 years or so we're north sea oil, Alaskan north slope and the gulf of Mexico. They've all been in production decline for 15-20 years. What your currently asking is that oil companies find some new undiscovered oil fields as big as those three!. And even if they did (and they won't) that would only last 25 years at best!. The age of cheap oil is over, and the decline in supply will follow, and that decline according to every geologist will be a sharp one! | |||

" And the Green Party have a collective orgasm at this large amount of oil they'll not allow anyone to pump up or use. " . Well if you tried pumping it at the moment you'd be making about 30 dollars a barrel losses. Not exactly great business acumen even for a green party member like me | |||

"I bet we won't see any drop in fuel prices?. " I remember them saying that the oil in North Sea would bring down cost at the petrol pumps. Until they realised that the quality was so good that it would be wasted on the British public/industry. So we export it instead | |||

"I bet we won't see any drop in fuel prices?. I remember them saying that the oil in North Sea would bring down cost at the petrol pumps. Until they realised that the quality was so good that it would be wasted on the British public/industry. So we export it instead " . That's s very good point and one that most people who just put petrol in a car are quite oblivious to. Oil comes in massively varying forms from Brent (great) to tar sands (crap) the cost of refinement difference is huge the same as the difference in cost of extraction. They give a value to energy which is EROEI , which stands for energy returned on energy invested, this can be measured in capital(money) or energy. If you look at coal a hundred years ago it had a eroei measurement of 1-100 ie you put 1 unit of energy in and got 100 out. That's a great return, petroleum in the 40s and 50s had the same sort of return. Today both coal and oil have an eroei of about 1-10 that's still good but has come down massively on what it was. Wind power has about the same eroei which is why you've seen the massive rise in them (small energy in for a big return). Nuclear is about 1-4 Solar 1-1 or 1-4 depending on situation. Hydro about 1-5 Wave is good that's about 1-10 Fracking is about 1-1 or 1-5 again depending on situation. Now what the experts see from these figures is that net energy is getting harder to come by and that's a big deal because nearly all advancements come from having a large net energy gain, yes entrepreneurialism and intelligence goes along way but can't do shit without net energy gains (it's the actually physicality of getting more for less from energy that gives you growth). So solar is bad at 1-1 but at least it's renewable, winds about the same as coal and oil but not as reliable, nuclear is a low energy gainer but has its own problems of radioactive waste and decommissioning! The move from hydrocarbons to renewables is absolute given sooner or later the hydrocarbons will run out, that's just a fact. Many many geologists believe we've past peak already some think we're on the bumpy plateau some think we might have another 20 years, no one knows exactly but if you average the experts guesses we've got 5 -10 years. So the real question is so you make the expensive and bumpy transition to renewables now or wait till the hydrocarbons are nearly gone and descend into the chaos of trying to do it with expensive and limited resources you'll have then!. And I was very good and didn't even mention the fucking up of the planet if we continue on the hydrocarbon path | |||
