This material is taken from the website: http://www.energybulletin.net" ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson's "state of the industry" address set the tone. "The good news is that abundant oil resources are available to meet the projected growth in demand. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earth was endowed with more than 3 trillion barrels of conventional oil. This estimate has grown steadily over the years as our industry has developed new and more sophisticated technologies to locate and produce these resources. If we add estimated 'frontier' resources, such as heavy oil and shale oil, this total rises to over 4 trillion barrels. The consequences of universal recognition our energy supplies are starting to slip are impossible to predict - but they are likely to be very, very bad. Thus, from the perspective of many, there is no need to face these inevitable consequences until the last possible moment -- keep the good times rolling" http://www.energybulletin.net
