Post by: SSG Snuggle Bunny on November 16, 2016, 05:16:23 PM
Not only is "PEAK OIL!" a bust but the money belongs to Texas, of all places:

Tuesday the U.S. Geological Survey announced the largest ever assessment of “continuous oil” ever made in the United States. The Wolfcamp shale in the area of Midland, Texas is estimated to contain three times the oil and gas of the Bakken shale formation in Montana and North Dakota. From the USGS:

Quote
The Wolfcamp shale in the Midland Basin portion of Texas’ Permian Basin province contains an estimated mean of 20 billion barrels of oil, 16 trillion cubic feet of associated natural gas, and 1.6 billion barrels of natural gas liquids, according to an assessment by the U.S. Geological Survey. This estimate is for continuous (unconventional) oil, and consists of undiscovered, technically recoverable resources.

For Proglodytes, good news sucks.

Perfect timing now that we have a president and Congress who will let us drill our own oil on our own soil

I read this morning that the Wolfcamp field is the second largest in the world, behind a Saudi Arabian field.  Good to know that the Wolfcamp field will turn the USA into OPEC's worst nightmare . . . again! :whistling: :-)

Glenn Beck was spewing that "Peak Oil" @#$% back in 2007 or 2008, IIRC. It just fits better with Lib/Prog Enviros' Malthus-style Chicken-Little-ism.
