    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.
