Arresting The Decline
Return To Top Of Page

"The hard reality is this: propping up zombie oil companies is only going to make the downturn last longer."
Who Should You Call To Arrest The Decline
What A Irony. Arresting The Decline. Long before oil price went in the toilet, Decline was everywhere. No one spoke much about her.
They seemed to deny that she was everywhere. They just kept feeding her and giving her more and more to decline.
They shrugged her off in quarterly conference calls. Experts and everyday people with calculators warned of her. Wrote of her, charted her.
Respected her. Warned of the day she would overtake their enabling addiction of drilling. Tried to come up with ways to shut her down,
That just don't work in tight oil. So to have her arrested, who do you call? The police, the E&P's, the FBI, the NDIC, the TRRC, the media,
the banks, Wall Street. Probably all of the above. It will be difficult, very difficult to bring her in, she is lurking at every lease, behind every
pump, in every production tank. She is in the paper work, the permits, the earnings, she is the thought that crosses the mind and is brushed off.

Well The Graph Below Is From The EIA Itself. & The One Below That From BP
& The Link To The Most Current BP 2020 Statistical Review

The U.S. does not have significant oil reserves in spite of what we read and hear in the mainstream media.
 It is true that we are producing a lot of oil today, more liquids than Saudi Arabia.
That does not mean that we will have enough for ourselves in a few years.
In fact, the U.S. is only 11th in world for proven reserves
With 33 billion barrels compared with Saudi Arabia’s 268 billion barrels.
