¿Puede la base de recursos de petróleo y gas de EE.UU. apoyar la producción sostenida?
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|June 26, 1987
Resumen
La agresiva perforación de petróleo y gas en los EE.UU. ha estabilizado inesperadamente la producción mediante la adición de reservas. Esto sugiere que la base de recursos madura tiene un potencial considerable para una producción sostenida, lo que repercute en la política energética.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Las geociencias son ciencias geológicas.
- Política energética Política energética Política energética
Sus antecedentes:
- No se esperaba que la base madura de recursos de petróleo y gas de los Estados Unidos mantuviera los niveles actuales de producción.
- Las recientes actividades de exploración y desarrollo han desafiado estas suposiciones de larga data.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para analizar el impacto de la reciente perforación agresiva en las reservas de petróleo y gas y la producción en los 48 estados inferiores.
- Evaluar el potencial restante de la base de recursos domésticos de petróleo y gas de los Estados Unidos.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de las adiciones a las reservas durante la última década.
- Evaluación de las tendencias de producción en campos maduros.
- Evaluación de las tasas de hallazgo en los recursos convencionales de petróleo y gas.
Principales resultados:
- La perforación agresiva condujo a importantes adiciones de reservas, deteniendo la disminución de la producción.
- Se observaron tasas de hallazgo estables y un crecimiento sustancial de las reservas en campos más antiguos.
- La base de recursos madura demostró una mayor capacidad para sostener la producción de lo previsto.
Conclusiones:
- La base de recursos domésticos de petróleo y gas de los Estados Unidos posee una capacidad considerable para la producción sostenida.
- Los hallazgos desafían las evaluaciones anteriores de campos maduros y resaltan el impacto de las técnicas avanzadas de perforación.
- El alcance de la futura búsqueda de recursos es un elemento crítico de la política energética nacional.

01:21Green Algae
Green algae, also referred to as chlorophytes, are different from red algae in having the chloroplasts containing chlorophylls a and b, which give them their distinct green hue. However, they lack phycobiliproteins, preventing them from developing the red or blue-green pigmentation seen in red algae. In terms of photosynthetic pigment composition, green algae closely resemble plants and share a close evolutionary relationship with them. Taxonomically Green algae belong to Phylum Chlorophyta in...
00:51Energy Budgets and Reproductive Strategies
Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species reproduce only once in their lifetime, often investing most available resources into that single reproductive event. Iteroparous species, by contrast, reproduce multiple times over their lifetimes, typically allocating fewer resources to any single...
01:25Biofuels
The microbial conversion of organic matter into biofuels holds potential as a renewable energy source. Among biofuel sources, microalgae are recognized as a highly efficient and adaptable feedstock for biodiesel production, owing to their rapid biomass accumulation, elevated lipid productivity, and capacity to proliferate in diverse aquatic systems, including freshwater, marine, and wastewater habitats. Unlike terrestrial crops, microalgae do not compete for land and can achieve significantly...
00:57Population Growth
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.However, realistic environmental conditions limit the number of...
00:46Bioremediation
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.
01:43Sustainable Development
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.
