" ... All told, Lawler figures that BP L48 is sitting on 7.5 billion barrels of oil (and natgas equivalents). Not all of that is proven yet, and only about 40% of it is economic to drill at current low commodity prices. ... "
" ... Considering that the leak began about 45 days ago, on March 25, that's roughly 300 million cubic feet of gas that has gone straight into the atmosphere. (The value of that gas? In the U.S. a thousand cubic feet sells for about $2.30, plus a premium for the condensates. The price of natgas in Europe is more than four times that. So Total has lost about $5 million worth of gas and condensates.) ... "
" ... In searching for green energy investments, “we looked at turning soybean oil and beef fat into renewable diesel,” says Rice. They settled on landfill gas because of the scale and the duration of investment. “This is better than anything else we could do on alternative fuels.” Sure it’s more expensive than regular natural gas, but they get paid a lot more for it, with 20 year contracts in place at $15 per mmBtu, versus about $3 for regular natgas today. ... "
" ... The study group also looked at the potential benefit to consumers of replacing oil consumption with gas -- most likely via cars that run on compressed gas or LNG. It takes roughly 6,000 cubic feet of gas to get the energy equivalent of one barrel of oil. The authors assume an average natgas price of $5 per mcf (nearly double today's price) and an average oil price of $100 per barrel (about $20 more than today). Thus, you need $30 worth of natgas to replace $100 of oil, a savings of $70 per barrel. Replacing just 1 million barrels per day of oil demand with natural gas would save $70 million a day, or nearly $26 billion a year. ... "
" ... Yesterday I attended an event put on by the Ryder truck company in Houston. It was all about new innovations in heavy trucks powered by natural gas — either compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). The technology is there; Navistar, Freightliner, Peterbilt, Volvo, all build heavy duty trucks that can run on natural gas. And federal and state governments are putting up taxpayer money to encourage companies to trade in their diesel-powered big rigs in favor of "alternative fuel" vehicles. Ryder was touting a $40 million project in southern California (funded by $20 million from Ryder, $10 million from the DOE and $10 million from California) that has so far brought 200 heavy-duty natgas powered trucks into Ryder's network. California's not the only place putting up tax money for natgas trucks. At this event an official from the Houston-Galveston Area Air Quality Board said he had $10 million in subsidies to dole out to companies looking to replace diesel trucks with natgas trucks — all in the name of helping the Houston region meet its federal air quality standards. How much can you get? $20,000 or more for each diesel truck you replace with a natgas-powered rig ... "
