Unknown scenario

[Jimmy]

Whoever’s the last country left with oil reserves, will they share or hoard? Wonder how all that’s gonna play out. Thoughts?

When? That question depends on when.

Does it matter?

There are going to be a lot of countries left with oil in the ground that nobody will ever want. Just like the Australians with their coal. So your scenario will never arise. It is out of date.

So u believe Alternative forms of energy will suffice.
That’s cool

Yes, we will stop while there is still oil left in the ground.

 

[Jimmy]

Yes, they will be made to. Oil companies are already worried that some of their existing exploration assets (oilfields discovered but not pumped out) may never give a return on the investment.

What do u mean by they will be made to?

Renewables and other non-fossil sources will be made to be sufficient, by government action, I think.

So my scenario isnt out of date because what you’re saying may never happen or in fact may not be possible scientifically.

Well, no it most certainly is possible scientifically. It is just a matter of collective will. As I say, I think we will get there.

Hope is good

I didn't say hope.

Just don’t say this scenario will never arise and is out of date until your hopes are realized

I repeat: these are not my hopes. They are my opinion, as someone who has spent 33 years of his career in an oil company.

Nice chatting with you

Nice chatting with you

Goodnight.

Given dropping prices for renewables and technical developments, it will be cheaper than petroleum. And we also have fusion reactors starting to look technically feasible in the intermediate future.

They'll probably hoard it, and others will look for ways to try to get it.

I'm worried about the current drive for deep water drilling and Fracking.

We will step away from needing crude oil, so neither.

Renewables are getting cheaper and more efficient by the day.

Synthetic oil is just as/more efficient than the regular stuff to.
