Researchers in the ME oil-producing state of Kuwait expect world oil production to peak in 2014 after they evaluated conventional production in 47 major oil producing countries. They found oil reserves to be dropping by a rate of 2.1%/year.

Tatarewicz: Also see on the same site: Last May's 3.3 earthquake in Texas was likely caused by oil drilling activity.

Is this the first you've heard of abiotic oil?

"Peak Oil" just means that half of all reserves have been discovered and consumed and that this first half of production was the most easily obtained. Even if this theory is true, it means that there will still be 50 percent of the oil left in the ground in 2014. But the second half will be much more expensive to drill for.

If the abiotic genesis theory is true, why aren't drillers moving back into the East Texas Oil Field to capture what has filled back up in the Woodbine, which was first tapped circa 1930. The Woodbine formation should have had plenty of time to replenish itself by now. If it takes hundreds to thousands of years to do so, abiotic genesis wouldn't do us much good as we'll all be dead long before then.

About 80 miles off of the coast of Louisiana lies a mostly submerged mountain, the top of which is known as Eugene Island. The portion underwater is an eerie-looking, sloping tower jutting up from the depths of the Gulf of Mexico, with deep fissures and perpendicular faults which spontaneously spew natural gas. A significant reservoir of crude oil was discovered nearby in the late '60s, and by 1970, a platform named Eugene 330 was busily producing about 15,000 barrels a day of high-quality crude oil.

By the late '80s, the platform's production had slipped to less than 4,000 barrels per day, and was considered pumped out. Done. Suddenly, in 1990, production soared back to 15,000 barrels a day, and the reserves which had been estimated at 60 million barrels in the '70s, were recalculated at 400 million barrels. Interestingly, the measured geological age of the new oil was quantifiably different than the oil pumped in the '70s.

Analysis of seismic recordings revealed the presence of a "deep fault" at the base of the Eugene Island reservoir which was gushing up a river of oil from some deeper and previously unknown source...

Interesting. So I ask again: why have the oil drillers not returned to East Texas to tap into the refilled reservoirs of the Woodbine 3,500 feet below me?

Let me ask you this. If you owned oil wells or controlled the production of said wells, and you had all you needed, would you automatically tap into reserves? The oil companies are somewhat like the DeBeers cartel with diamonds. They want everyone to believe that the $#it is rare or scarce so they can keep the prices high. But the truth is that diamonds are not scarce and if DeBeers didn't have such a stranglehold on the market it would be a rare thing to see an expensive diamond. Same with oil. It is not scarce but they want people to believe they are going to run out within the next ten years or twenty years (they have been saying this $#it since the early 70's you know). I didn't believe there was any oil shortage in 1973 and I don't believe it now.

DeBeers is a great parallel. Diamonds, it has become apparent, are actually one of the most plentiful of the so-called "precious gems" (Emeralds of over 1 carat are actually many times rarer than diamonds - I lovvvvvvve Emeralds - they are just so awesomely beautiful it is hard to put in words - it is like they replenish you soul). However, by controlling distribution and enforcing it with government collusion and draconian penalties DeBeers has been able to control the market and keep prices artificially high. The same type of Cartel exists with oil only it is not as readily seen because of the illusion of "anti-trust" laws.

I agree. I like emeralds too. And lapis lazuli. I suspect lapis is much rarer than diamonds. This is a high quality lapis stone.

Prettier than a diamond? In the eyes of the beholder I guess but I think they are.

I love Lapis it is beautiful.

A little art trivia.

Q. What was the original "Ultramarine" Oil Paint of the Masters made from?

A. Ground up Lapis Lazuli suspended in painter's oil.

You can actually by the raw ground up Lapis and make your own - although it is a bit pricey - about $50 an ounce or better.

I couldn't afford to waste $50 an ounce on that because I can't paint for $#it. Oh, I can paint a fence or a house, something like that. But when it comes to art all I can do is admire it and the talent it took to produce it.

While I would not call myself a "professional" artist I have sold some of my work. I have wanted to play with real Lapis, but it is so expensive as a paint that I want to know what I am going to do with it before I buy it. Although if I did I would find a way to use it - so maybe I am looking at this backwards. Hmmmm?
