The Global Oil CrunchWe should be preparing in advance
Bruce Robinson, Convenor30th June 2009
? ? ? ?
Look out !! Something serious
is looming on the radar
Senate Select Committee on Fuel and Energy

Outline This is about oil, not energy in general.
Transport Energy, not Stationary Energy
Global oil supply, not just Australia's
● What is Peak Oil ?
the time when global oil production stops rising and starts its final decline
We will never "run out of oil"
● When is the most probable forecast date ? ? 2012 +/- 5 years
"Peak Exports" is even more important, and sooner
● Oil vulnerability assessment and risk management crucial to many policies

Peak Oilbutwhen?

Two analogies for Peak Oil risks
1. Hurricane Katrina (New Orleans, 2005)
2. US Financial Crisis (World, 2008-09)
Can we learn to prepare for probable events rather than just hoping business will be as usual ?
KOSPI
Jeremy Leggett The Guardian, UK, 29-Oct-2008
"We have seen with the credit crunch, the banks and governments failed to see a massive problem coming.
With the oil crunch, oil companies and governments are failing to see a massive problem coming.
The difference is we have five years to gear ourselves up to do something about it this time.

Hurricane Katrina New Orleans
US Federal, State and local Governments were shown to be shortsighted, ill-prepared, uncaring and disorganised.
Most governments and investors are much less prepared for Peak Oil

Unless there is a collapse in oil demand within the next five to ten years, there will be a serious oil 'supply crunch' - not because of below-ground resource constraints but because of inadequate investment by international oil companies (IOCs) and national oil companies (NOCs).

Jeremy Leggett October 29 2008
Time for an energy bail-outPeak oil is just five years away, and we must start to plan now to avert a truly ruinous crisis
Today, eight British companies are warning of a ruinous oil crunch five years from now. Previously unimaginable policy interventions in financial markets have suddenly become imperative, and similar interventions in energy markets today may be worth their weight in gold tomorrow.

World Energy Outlook 2008: The world’s energy system is at a crossroads. Current global trends in energy supply and consumption are patently unsustainable — environmentally, economically, socially. But that can — and must — be altered; there’s still time to change the road we’re on.
"Fresh sources of oil equivalent to the output of four Saudi Arabias will have to be found simply to maintain present levels of supply by 2030, one of the world's leading energy experts has said. Fatih Birol, chief economist of the International Energy Agency (IEA), the developed world's energy watchdog, told The Times
The IEA "estimates that the average production-weighted observed decline rate worldwide is currently 6.7% pa for fields that have passed their production peak. In our Reference Case, this increases to 8.6% in 2030. The current figure is derived from our analysis of production at 800 fields, including all 54 super-giants (< 5 Gbbl) in production today". ..
10
Even if oil demand were to remain flat to 2030, 45 m barrels/day of gross capacity -roughly four times the capacity of Saudi Arabia - would be needed just to offset the decline from existing fields

Using the same IEA datafields to be developed and yet to be found, and the same natural gas production
Different conclusions.
IEA production forecasts are "outside reality", not possible.
(because IEA have assumed impossible production rates from the reserves)

The practical realities
• Worry about flows not reserves• "Deliverability"
“It isn't the size of the tank; it’s the size of the tap” (ASPO-USA)
19
A simple observation -- or why peak will be earlier than most people expect
‘Global production falls when loss of output from countries in decline exceeds gains in output from those that are expanding.’

Failure to act now will prove incredibly costly
Oil vulnerability assessment and risk management should be a central part of most policy decisions

General priorities for facing Peak Oil1: Awareness and engagement 2: Frugality3: EfficiencyLast: Alternative fuels
and technologies

a few more slides follow,in case they are needed for questions
32
1: “Talk about it, Talk about it”2. Engage people, “Participatory democracy”3. Dismantle the "perverse policies" that subsidise heavy car use and excessive freight transport.
Australian Government Policy and Action Options
4. Encourage frugal use of fuel, and disadvantage profligate users. Fuel taxes should be incrementally raised to European levels to reduce usage.5: SmartCard tradable personal fuel allocation system. A flexible mechanism for short-term oil shocks, as well for encouraging people to reduce their fuel usage..6. Concentrate on the psychological and social dimensions of automobile dependence, not just “technological fixes”7. Implement nationwide "individualised marketing" travel demand management.8. Railways, cyclepaths and public transport are far better investments than more roads.9. Give priority for remaining oil & gas supplies to food production, essential services and indigenous communities, using the Smart-Card system.
10. Review the oil vulnerability of every industry and community sector and how each may reduce their risks.

Australian petrol & diesel rationing using 2008 technologySmart-card based, scalable, tradeable, flexible, quick to change, equitable, transparent.
Fuel allocations should be per person, not per vehicle, and depend on Location (inner or outer suburb, public transport access, regional or remote) Health status (elderly or infirm, expectant mothers with toddlers), less for the fit
who can ride a bicycle 20kms if needed Job importance (defence, essential services, hospitals, food)
People are encouraged to conserve by being able to trade unused allowances electronicallyand automatically.
Martin Feldstein, Chief Economic Advisor to President Reagan, now at Harvard, (WSJ 2006)
"tradeable gasoline rightsare more efficient than fuel economy standardsor gasoline taxes"

A rational pricing system Perth domestic water
Renewable scarce resource
A personal fuel SmartCard system could tax petrol and diesel on a sliding scale like water.
People could trade unused allocations to those who want more fuel.
