The Battle For Barrels: Peak Oil Myths and World Oil Futures: Peak Oil Myths & World Oil Futures [Hardcover]

"A brilliant insight into the world upstream, Peak Oil, international corporate strategies, geopolitics, business, economics and technology." Dr. Alfred J. Boulos, former Senior Director, International, Conoco Inc., former President of the Association of International Petroleum Negotiators "Lucidly shows that not all is known on potential oil reserves-in-ground, and that Peak Oil is very wrong on its view that such reserves are now fully known and finite." Fred Dekker, Managing Director, Wessex Exploration, and former Vice President, Asia Pacific New Ventures, Unocal Corporation"

'Peak Oil has caught global attention... Duncan Clarke has
demystified this dogma and shown the crude realities'

`The Battle for Barrels says we should take warnings of impending Armageddon with a pinch of salt.'

`...a successful demolition of the theories behind the peak-oil movement.'

It is widely accepted that global discoveries of conventional oil have peaked and that the era of cheap oil has gone forever. This book demonstrates that the doom and gloom of the "Peak Oil" theory is mistaken. Clarke rebuts the arguments of Peak Oil's adherents and discusses the issues they ignore - rising crude oil prices, new or future technologies, potential improved exploration acreage and/or access to restricted world oil zones, changes in government policies, new corporate strategies, development in unconventional oils, and more.

Duncan Clarke is a leading thinker and speaker on the world/Africa oil game, with 40 years' economics practice and extensive experience in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. He is Chairman & CEO of Global Pacific & Partners, a leading Advisory firm in Africa, and on world oil and gas.
