QuoteI've also mapped the regions down to the resolution of about 10,000 acres to find the areas most likely to be effected, as well to well interference is also part of this effect. The more interference, the higher the liklihood of a well transitioning from oil to gas in shorter time spans.

Well isn't that Special,

How convenient, as the church lady would say. Mapped the regions down to 10,000 acres. That must have been a fun exercise for you. Sort of like the trembling pleasure I got adding thousands of articles to the Doomscroll. The quivering ecstasy of thousands of data points. Software to manage all that data too.

I recall you stating there was no point for me to do any of it since only three people come here.

You must have felt defeated, mapping all those regions to see what areas would deplete first, with no one to see. Lucky for you this is your big chance. You can share your data here.

Now he''s going to tell you about the really important people who have seen his maps and kissed his feet after paying him handsomely for the privilege.  We are not worthy to look upon such things.

Actually...not at all. It just isn't common among any except indsutry professionals who work this kind of problem is all.

Well, I'm sure you are familiar with how databases work same as I do. :)  But you would need to add a couple more zeros to "thousands" to even get into the data normally used in a single field study. As far as software, I've plyed with Python but I use older stuff just....because...I am I suppose.

Not sure I said "no point" but the point of large amounts of work for the three of us, I seem to recall making that point.

To each their own.

Who said "no one to see" when it comes to my work?  I have quite a substantial audience and have published on jus these types of analysis. Alone, and with others, for decades now. Ive got one pub, written late 90's with a co-author, and I swear to God it is the weirdest thing, I get notifications when someone requests it from some academic paper clearing house or another. That old paper on deep gas resources here or there gets referenced, downloaded or looked at like once a month. Nearly 30 years old that one is!

Maybe if you didn't worry as much about quantity, and go for quality, the viewership will grow?

I rarely do maps, other than to outline an area. I do statistics more like....as far as important people....who cares. But when CSIRO travels halfway across the planet, or the British Geological Survy, PDVSA, Pemex....well I have to admit that having the world come calling is a bit of an ego boost....

Worthy isn't the right word. I don't do EE and genes and chromozones and whatnot.....and neither of you do oil and gas is all.

Peak crude oil did not happen in 2018. But we are still running out of time

What matters is that oil is finite, and is showing signs of being on the verge of decline since conventional oil entered a plateau in 2005 and unconventional oil (mainly fracked shale oil with a little help from Canadian oil sands) raised the plateau in 2015 and still on that plateau in 2025.

The shale boom that made the U.S. the world’s top oil producer is nearing a crucial turning point

The U.S. shale boom is running out of steam, making Venezuela’s vast reserves look attractive to some U.S. oil companies.

Count on Alice to always be ready for peak oil....15 years ago, 10 years ago, 5 years ago, etc etc.

She should have stuck to programming software to allow truck drivers to be more efficient. I do like how she provides references and whatnot...of course....only ones that support her current idea of....whatever. Whenever.

I'll have to check the EIA stats on global crude to see if they have updated with more recent information, and if 2025 was FINALLY another peak oil as opposed to 2018.
