"Our ignorance is not so vast as our failure to use what we know."
M. King Hubbert
The great challenge-
Can you think of any problem in any area of human endeavour on any scale, from microscopic to global, whose long-term solution is in any demonstrable way aided, assisted, or advanced by further increases in population, locally, nationally, or globally?
A.A. Bartlett
"A perfect energy storm is coming involving natural gas, oil, and conventional energy resources"
Dr. Douglas B. Reynolds
Apis made hives toil in flight
Deposits Oligocene definite demonstrate
Cultured evidence preserve in pyramids
Food robust readymade for hominids
Access just in eyesight
Drive squeeze and drain
Easy bin in can tight
Trait in ancestral shine brain
Analogous intricate ingenious drama terrestrial
Incessant over years millions
Earth with processes innumerable
Noted hot and cold diverse regions
Sinuous surfaces with highs and lows
Energy packed erosion in action
Gravity and ice in glaciers
Wind water wave all in transportation
Gravity in mass wasting
Surface creep and slumping
Water spectacle hath vital role
Splash, sheet and rill
Gully, valley or stream
Kolks or vortices in flows extreme
Shoreline erosion by waves and currents
Wave pounding breaks and hydraulic action cracks joints
Ice glaciers in plucking, thrusting and abrasion
Wind by deflation and abrasion in succession
Erode highs and filling lows
In a variety of sediments
Mass from dead live in bait
Subsidence due overlain sediment
Source rock compaction under overburden
Heat rich in depths takes in possession
Cook organic form kerogene base
Culminate crack into form oil or gas
Generate, migrate and accumulate
In rock hives dominant carbonate or clastic
Found subsurface offshore or onshore
Geometry dictated structural or strati-graphic
Saturated or under-saturated
Reservoirs thus classified by phases
Displaced waters aquifers surround
Prop from under, over or sides
Discovery beneficial incites retrieval
Plan exploitation by method in time rival
Policy in primary prelude accolade
Secondary tertiary in train anticipate
Mechanisms to recover prime oil
Expansion in compressed rock or oil
Gas dissolved as solution in oil
Gas in abundance under-saturate overlain oil
Primary yield meagre from in place original resident
Drop in pressure embryonic in turmoil extract
Much insitu reside rigid as domicile tenant
Exacting extraction to amend augment contract
Recovery in primary production unconditional
Produce under natural drive mechanism beneficial
No external energy supplement till natural sufficient
Recovery low with process inherent inefficient
Mounting demand for energy artificial
Resort to recovery secondary for additional
Inflate by inject water or gas in maze
Tangible exchange for liquid crude chase
Greed in ceiling oil under drain
Cease and squeeze litho hive for gain
Holding network tight tortuous line
Recover drop extreme unseen underline
Rock wet in water or oil
Holds oil in corners to toil
Enhance exploit tertiary retrieval
Flood polymer purse revival
Drive force debilitated inconsistent
Coerce compression artificial antecedent
Water or gas green or bacteria inject
Replace and rest gain in twofold assert
Pressure matches at BP or lower
Time ripe for flood water in favour
Peripheral line or spots many
Drive from injector to producer canny
Injection patterns found in common
Drive in regular configuration in summon
Direct or staggered in line diffuse
Spots five seven or nine amaze excuse
Candidates candid for selection
Neo or convert pump in action
Drive oil to neigh producer
Sweep efficient goal achiever
Scrupulous placed producer in elevation
Installed injector lower in caution
Make a favourable pair in consent unison
Cogent configuration intent increment in vision
Injection scheme compensation appropriate
Demands study understand effects private
Water viscosity and injection rate
Formation dip angle to integrate
Leverette in fractional flow curves
Wins in picturing spotlight water cuts
Buckley jointly in frontal advance driver
Foretell saturation changes all over
Fractional flow curve in flood vital
Bears saga of efficient drive confidential
A shift downward effective and desired
Whereas curve shift crucial upward
Diagnose influences that cause
Effect of each component propose
Dilemma in interpret derivatives persist
Result cogent capillary in neglect
Terwilliger Wilsey Hall Bridges Morse cart ahead
Twin zones consequential stabilized and non-stabilized
Saturation change abrupt on increase
Welgy by tangent at connate evades amaze
For profile saturation comprehensive
Extra oil to recover ease in appraise defensive
Scale recovery efficiency overall
Account areal and vertical in all
Recovery character in capture
Performance curves in posture
Before and after water in produce
Oil water by rates and ratios deduce
Oil sagas carry and comprehend
Origin in dead tiny diatom garland
Purpose plain protect to survive
Cognizant detect drill and drive
Fractionate merchandise in finale
Ultimate efficacy in move and mobile
