Proved Crude Oil Reserves Annual Rate of Consumption 16.5 billion barrels per year 531 billion barrels How many years do you think it will it be before the world runs out of oil? A. 32 B. 16 C. 100 D. Never
Suppose that a country imports 2 billion barrels of crude oil per year and domestically produces another 4 billion barrels of crude oil per year. All the domestic production is consumed by domestic consumers (i.e. there are no exportations). The world price of crude oil is $80 per barrel. Assuming linear demand and supply schedules, economists estimate the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.3 and the price elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.15 at the current equilibrium....
1. 50 billion barrels of oil were consumed in the world in 2018. There is a projected 2,400 billion barrels of oil remaining under ground. a. How much oil would be consumed in year 2048 (30 years later) under the following annual growth rates: 1. 5% 2. 3% 3. no growth 4. - 2% b. How much TOTAL oil would be consumed over 30 years under the same growth rate scenarios [5%, 3%, 0%, -2%]
5) United States reserves of Gold are about 8000 metric tons. The United States currently consumes about 170 metric tons per year If the consumption were to increase exponentially at a constant rate of 1.5 percent per year, how long would it take to use up current Gold reserves? Suppose the total resource is four times current reserves (32000 metric tons) and the use rate continues to grow at 1.5 percent, how long would it take to use up the...
Thank you!! (2 points) An oil company discovered an oil reserve of 130 million barrels. For time t > 0, in years, the company's extraction plan is a linear declining function of time as follows: where q(t) is the rate of extraction of oil in millions of barrels per year at time t and b 0.05 and a -14. (a) How long does it take to exhaust the entire reserve? time years (b) The oil price is a constant 30...

Oil prices rose more than 20% this year but there were no sharp spikes and crude futures barely sniffed $70 a barrel despite attacks on the world’s biggest oil producer, sanctions that crippled crude exports of two OPEC members and gigantic supply cuts from big oil producing countries. The price gains in crude oil benchmarks were all in the first quarter of 2019, even as the next several months featured supply shocks that in the past would probably have propelled...

U.S. crude oil and natural gas production increased in 2018, with 10% fewer wells 2/3/2020 WASHINGTON - In 2018, while production was increasing, the total number of wells producing crude oil and natural gas in the United States fell to 982,000, down from a peak of 1,035,000 wells in 2014. This increase in production, despite the decline in the number of wells, reflects advances in technology and drilling techniques. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)’s updated U.S. Oil and Natural...
Several Democratic Presidential candidates have promised to ban oil drilling on federal lands and waters. (1) Using supply-and-demand graphs, graph and explain what would happen to the price of oil if the US stops drilling on federal lands. (2) Using what you know about oil production, explain why the immediate impact of a drilling ban would not be the same as long term impacts. (3) The US produces about 12 million barrels of oil per day and consumes about 22...
