How much oil in ground in US?
The US has oil and estimation show we could do away with foreign oil dependency completely. The amount differs between studies but it does show that in crude oil alone there is about 20 years worth of oil. In oil shale there is upwards of 200 years worth. these estimates being based on U.S. consumption of oil today. That estimate is we use 20 million barrels a day. As we move forward development of new energies and new technologies I'm thinking we could make these reserves last much longer. We could within those 200 years get away from oil dependency completely. My question is if we have all this oil why are we saving it? Now that technologies are there to extract the oil from the oil shale why dont we do that? Lets stop supporting terrorist by purchasing their oil.
Should the US invest in extracting natural gas from shale rock?
?
What is the name of the watershed that drains about half of the Midwest and Eastern US?
Shale Watershed
Where is natural gas found in the US?
Natural gas is found in many places in the US, too many to mention. It is found underground anywhere oil, coal, or shale exists. Of course some areas have it more readily available than others.
Why does Iran use petroleum?
Same reason the US does. Iran is trying to develop nuclear power, to save oil.
How much crude oil is left in the United States today?
quite alot The US actually has the largest estimated reserves in the world if include shale oil. The U.S. has 2% of the worlds oil. By the estimation of BP and others there are 40years of oil left. USGS says we hit the peak in 2034 from there on out it gets harder to get and more expensive. Shale oil takes a lot of hydrogen to produce crude the pollution from making hydrogen puts a lot of co2 in the air. Essentially everyone agrees that in 40 years we better be depending on something else. interesting articel and net sim to figure your own projection at electric and hybrid car dot com.
What region of the US has sand?
Most sand can be found on beaches and in deserts.
How long will the total oil in US and territorial waters last?
The US has about 30 Billion barrels of proven oil reserves. If assume use no oil imports (US imports about 60% of use currently) and current rate of consumption (oil use in US has recently begun to go down) of about 20.7 Million Barrels a day - US oil proven reserves will be drained in about 4 years. If use current levels of import, the current reserves will last about 10 years. If add in estimated prospective oil reserves, the US has about 130 Billion Barrels (unproven) additional reserves. Of the 130 Billion Barrels, ~ 85 BBls are offshore (~20 BBls in currently off limits areas) and ~45 BBls under land (~10 BBls are in ANWR). The prospective reserves would last at current consumption levels about another 17 years (21 total) with no imports or about another 43 years (53 total) at current import levels. The US also has the largest formation of oil shale in the world, with an estimated 1.5 (some estimates are over 2) Trillion barrels of oil in oil shale in reserve or about twice the reserves of the entire middle east, but this oil is harder to get. If use 1.5 TBls with no imports, US has oil to last 200 years at current consumption with no imports and nearly 500 years if assume current import levels just from this source.
