    Depletion and the Future Availability of Petroleum Resources
    (INT ASSOC ENERGY ECONOMICS, 2009) Aguilera, Roberto F.; Eggert, Roderick G.; Lagos, Gustavo C. C.; Tilton, John E.
    This study assesses the threat that depletion poses to the availability of petroleum resources. It does so by estimating cumulative availability curves for conventional petroleum (oil, gas, and natural gas liquids) and for three unconventional sources of liquids (heavy oil, oil sands, and oil shale). The analysis extends the important stud), conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (2000) on this topic by taking account of (1) conventional petroleum resources from provinces not assessed by the Survey or other organizations, (2) future reserve growth, (3) unconventional sources of liquids, and (4) production costs.

    The boom in mineral markets: How long might it last?
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2008) Radetzki, Marian; Eggert, Roderick G.; Lagos, Gustavo; Lima, Marcos; Tilton, John E.
    The commodity price boom that emerged in 2004 has proved far more persevering than its predecessors of 1950 and 1973. Some analysts have suggested that it may represent the start of a "supercycle" caused by the voracious raw materials demand from China and other emerging economies, with prices remaining high for 20-30 years. We offer an alternative explanation. For a variety of reasons, the establishment of new capacity in minerals and energy to match the accelerated demand trends is more time consuming than commonly assumed, and may take a decade or longer. As soon as the new capacity is in place, however, the boom will be punctuated. Prices may collapse much earlier in the event of a severe recession that cuts the growth in commodity demand.
