I have a Organic Chemistry book from 1973 and in that book there was an idea to convert biomass into oil by using CO gas and heating it to 380 C under pressure of 1200PSI you could make 3 barrels of light crude per tonne of biomass . At the time it was expensive to do but the idea will come back .

There are a few processes to convert solids and gases into liquid fuel. Coal and biomass can by hydrogenated in the presence of a copper, nickel, or tin oleate catalyst called the Bergius Process. The Fischer-Tropsch process can convert synthesis gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) from gasified coal, biomass, trash, sewage sludge, etc. into synthetic crude oil, including lube oil, distillate oil like diesel, poor quality gasoline, and wax that can be cracked into good quality gasoline blending agent. This process uses nickel, iron, or cobalt catalysts. There is an additional more recent process called the Shell Methanol-to-Gasoline process that converted synthesis gas to gasoline with greater efficiency, by converting it first to methanol, then to dimethyl ether, then to gasoline, I believe using zeolite catalysts.

There's plenty of hydrocarbons in Ukraine for oil 829 million tonnes, for natural gas 2.4 billion tonnes and coal 60 billion tonnes so basically enough for years to come .

Oil has never been cheaper in real terms (such as barrels per ounce of gold) than it is right now. Of course conventional exploration peaked in the 60s. That’s when the first massive advance in seismic mapping occurred. They quickly found all the super giant onshore fields because they were easy to find. Now every year operators drill less dry holes, but they find smaller sizes of resources due to all the big geologic features of conventional onshore exploration are already found. You can all start worrying when Finding and Discovery Costs (F&D in the 10Ks) return to the same levels in ounces of gold as they were in the 1980s. That would be a major reversal in real terms of developing new resources.

South Gawar in Saudi suffered during early drop in production but Saudi invested heavily the in only oil and control extraction technology (pumping salt water inside the field to increase pressure) which restore the daily production. At the same time Saudi developed the gigantic field in the empty quarter. The field is massive and is believed to extend across the boarder inside UAE and Oman. In Kuwait Chevron completed a steam injection system on Al wafra oil field which dropped in 1990s to less than 10,000 bpd. Now the production is ramping to half million bpd. The success is encouraging Kuwait to install steam injection on Burgan north to restore production levels. Beside that new discoveries in North Kuwait is very sizable of high quality sweet crude. Then we come to the what is believed the biggest field in the world: Rumalah in Iraq. I heard it from BP engineer, they have evidents that this field extend from north east Syria all the way to west of Iraq and Jordan until it reach to the current developed reserves in Iraq. This explain why US insist on holding to Al Omer fields in Syria and continue fight war against ISIS who is now a small group of fighters roaming desert and posses no strategic threat. The depleting oil is a myth as there are many areas in Africa yet to be explored, fields to be developed in Yemen and east Mediterranean.

34:10 The clarity of price is touted. But a large part of the cost is hidden. It is not included in price. We don't account for externalities. We could create a semblance of honest prices if we took random polls to find what rate of fossil fuel extraction would be called acceptable by most people, then sold extraction permits that correspond to that overall rate. The right of the people to define limits to impacts would be respected in practice. The policy will be fair if proceeds from permit sales were shared equally to all people. (End poverty. Promote sustainability)
