That would be great.  I look forward to driving my Delorean powered by Mr.Fusion.

The automobile, trucking, and home heating oil in the North East is what I think will keep the oil industry going for the foreseeable future.  Cars might be able to transition to either natural gas (of some flavor - LNG/LPG) with relative ease, but even that will need a distribution network equal to that of gasoline to be built by private industry.  And there you have a chicken/egg issue with supply and demand.  We won't see the distribution network built until it can be profitable (there is a demand - a lot of vehicles) and we won't see a lot of LNG/LPG vehicles until the fuel is commonly available.

Stored electric for cars won't be practical until there is a huge breakthrough in the ratio of battery capacity to size and weight.  Self-generated electricity might work - fuel cells - but again needs a big tech breakthrough, AND a fuel distro network to run them.  Or the aforementioned "Mr. Fusion"

Trucks - same issue as cars, multiplied by need for the increased power requirement to move heavier loads.

So that leaves home heating oil.  The sensible thing would be for all those to convert to natural gas.  But that requires a significant outlay of cash.  For people who have a hard time paying for their oil heat, even harder to pay to rip out oil furnaces, buy gas furnaces, and pay to get them installed and their homes piped for gas.

Sure we do. Not every crude is East Texas Sweet. Talco crude has 0.7+ sulfur and Exxon's refinery in Baytown loved it. I can't remember what WTI is but some of Oklahoma's crude is high/higher. Blend it with condensate though and you can lower the sulfur. Take Talco crude and blend with condensate and it will lower your sulfur and raise your gravity. Now you can sale a 36 to 43 gravity oil with a 0.41 to 0.45 sulfur instead of a 19 to 22 gravity with a 0.7+ sulfur.

Gas cost more because  of many variables, cost from crude production in the field to the tariffs that pipeline companies charge to move each barrel to a refinery or trucking charges to haul it there. The cost of refining it to the cost to pipeline or truck it to tank stations where trucks load it to send to the gas stations. In these cost you have not only the cost of running a company, but you have all the continually rising cost of permits and govt compliance. Factor all that in with taxes that the govt has added to it and it keeps going up. Finally we have have speculators who buy and sale it whose main goal is to make $ and never leave an office.

I can't remember the exact amount but I read that the govt charges a higher tax than an oil company makes off of a gallon of gas.

Edit- The reason for the blend is it allows more refineries to take it. Many refineries aren't set up to take in high sulfur crude. Don't get the blend right and you've just contaminated a tank. Refineries tend to get pissy about such things. Hell as a pipeline company we throw a gasket when folks send us crude that contaminates a tank. Then we spend lots of money blending it out.

Maine (ME) is rumored to have massive oil/gas reserves. Two wells drilled 1 Ashland @ 1982, hit gas 32-34k ft level, would have been developable at that time @ $30 a bbl oil.  Oil field rumored to start @ 120 miles east of Boston, extend out into the atlantic basin on the "banks", and peters out Nova Scotia east.  Russians have hit massive oil many places @ 44k? level.

Price: Russia/Iran/Venezeula would be unable to compete oil estimated below 72-70$ level.   Bankruptcy, anyone?   Something Saudi/Qatar alliance could accomplish with pipelines to Europe through Syria.

Doesn't  really matter what the reasons are.

We consume 18 million barrels per day and produce about 8 million barrels per day. I was off a bit, due to the on going recession, we are consuming less oil now so we are importing slightly  more than 1/2 the oil we consume.

Yes there are 600 trillion barrels of oil in the US locked into shale.

The issue is producing it in the volume we need on a daily basis. It simply is not as easy as just sinking wells to increase the daily volume. And daily volume is what we need. That is why all the pundits that talk about how much oil we have, never talk about the daily volume of production, because it destroys the narrative.

I do not know where this comes from.

We have been a net importer of oil since 1975 and the result has been a large trade deficit resulting in the export of American wealth.

We are not a net exporter of oil, by this years numbers we import slightly more than half of our consumption.


here are the production numbers.

link


we consume 18.5 million barrels per day.

are total oil production is about 8  million barrels per day. Yes it is up from 7 million per day, but nowhere near meeting our consumption.

Wow really?  32-34 and the russians are doing 44K? That is most impressive and I had no idea wells are going that deep now.  When I was a roughneck in the early 80's (TX and OK) I remember one well we drilled in the Anadarko basin and we all thought that was crazy deep at 28K (it was successful) and there was a Canadian crew that was nearby that went even a little deeper.  It took us well over a month to even get there and that was what seemed like non-stop pipe tripping every single day.

I'm sure technology in the oilfield has advanced tremendously since then (and I really haven't kept up to date) but I feel sorry for those poor guys that have to run that kind of pipe. But I also have no doubt that it is certainly possible.

It is reported that the US is the largest producer of oil.
 
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/10/15/us-oil-pira-idUSL1N0I51IX20131015

U.S. surges past Saudis to become world's top oil supplier


The United States has overtaken Saudi Arabia to become the world's biggest oil producer as the jump in output from shale plays has led to the second biggest oil boom in history, according to leading U.S. energy consultancy PIRA.

U.S. output, which includes natural gas liquids and biofuels, has swelled 3.2 million barrels per day (bpd) since 2009, the fastest expansion in production over a four-year period since a surge in Saudi Arabia's output from 1970-1974, PIRA said in a release on Tuesday.


Maybe I am reading the chart wrong but it appears we import way more oil from Canada than we do from Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia makes up how much of our actual oil imports?

http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_move_impcus_a2_nus_ep00_im0_mbbl_m.htm

So we do export more oil than we import from any single importer, but not a total of importers.

But do we really import 2/3rds of the oil we use?  We don't export all the oil we produce.  We likely export the oil that is easier to export.  If oil is in Alaska or offshore, might that oil be easier to ship to a refinery in another country than shipping it to Texas or some other state with refinery capacity?

Thank Obama for limiting US production.
