The Oil Drum was published by the Institute for the Study of Energy and Our Future, a Colorado non-profit corporation. [2] The site was a resource for information on many energy and sustainability topics, including peak oil, and related concepts such as oil megaprojects, Hubbert linearization, and the Export Land Model.
Bardi is a researcher on materials for new energy sources, a contributor to the now-defunct website, "The Oil Drum".He is the co-founder and former president of ASPO Italy, a member of the scientific committee of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas [] (ASPO), [3] a member of the Club of Rome, [4] and author of several books, including The Limits to Growth Revisited.
Casing head (#27) is a large metal flange welded or screwed onto the top of the conductor pipe (also known as drive-pipe) or the casing and is used to bolt the surface equipment such as the blowout preventers (for well drilling) or the Christmas tree (oil well) (for well production).
Intelligent well: An oil or gas well equipped with monitoring equipment and completion components that allow for automatic or remote optimization of production. Joint: A length of pipe. Kelly: A square or hexagon pipe ( Approximately 40 ft. long ) used to turn the drill string while drilling.
Unconventional reservoirs and their associated unconventional oil encompass a broad spectrum of petroleum extraction and refinement techniques, as well as many different sources. [23] Since the oil is contained within the source rock, unconventional reservoirs require that the extracting entity function as a mining operation rather than ...
Oil drum may refer to: Drum (container), a cylindrical container used for transporting bulk goods such as oil and fuel; The Oil Drum, an energy discussion website
Since retiring from Total in 1991, Laherrère has consulted worldwide on the future of exploration and production of oil and natural gas. He is the co-founder and an active member of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, and continues to contribute detailed analyses and projections of the future of world energy production.

"Hubbert's peak" can refer to the peaking of production in a particular area, which has now been observed for many fields and regions. Hubbert's peak was thought to have been achieved in the United States contiguous 48 states (that is, excluding Alaska and Hawaii) in the early 1970s. Oil production peaked at 10.2 million barrels (1.62 × 10 ^ 6 m 3) per day in 1970 and then dec
