The well bakken 100 billion barrels of oil?

[carburologue]

have you ever heard of bakken wells overflowing with 100 billion barrels ???
Info or intox???

[dirk pitt]

no poison, but different studies show that because of the very low porosity of rocks, only between 1 and 3% is technically recoverable.

High estimates today estimate a maximum recoverable potential of 4.3 billion barrels but more probably around 2 billion or about .....

25 days of current global consumption

25 days of current global consumption

And even if the 100 billion were exploitable!

At 85 M barrels per day, we would have: 100 / 0.085 = 1200 days, a little more than 3 years and 2 months ...

Nothing to cheer about ...

Strongly that we know how to exploit methane hydrates

Well ...

look at this and you will end up being convinced although everything that we can find will not change anything on the peak-oil which is probably already crossed (thank you the crisis to temporarily prevent it from becoming frankly catastrophic)
