It discusses how “reserves” and “resources” differ in economic producibility and discovery status, then uses oil production and global endowment estimates to assess future supply. The speech projects demand growth toward 2000 and 2024, showing that oil supply becomes increasingly unmanageable and that petroleum may peak and decline into the early 21st century, with rising costs and market contraction.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/energy-policy-speech-reserves-and-resources-june-1978-ballot-propositions-club-report-meeting/418036/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/energy-policy-speech-reserves-and-resources-june-1978-ballot-propositions-club-report-meeting/418036.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Rainbow

GeologistU.S.Geological Survey  \nLet me begin by defining two key terms.One is the term\"reserves,\"which I willuse to mean those quantities of an energyaccumulation that have been discoveredand to some extent explored and sampled,and which are considered to be producibleunder current economic conditions withexisting technology.The other is the term\"resources,\"which includes reserves,butalso includes deposits already identifiedbut not presently considered to be eco-nomically recoverable,as well as undis-covered deposits that may or may not beeconomically producible when found.  \nEstimates show that about half theworld's endowment of presently recover-able crude oil has been discovered;aboutone-sixth of it has been used up;and thetotal available for future supply(reservesplus undiscovered resources)is about  \n1,700 billion barrels (245 billion tons).  \nReserves and Resources  \nConsidered against the 1,700 billionbarrel total of reserves and undiscoveredrecoverable resources,the 21 billionbarrels produced in 1976 appear to presentno basis for immediate concern about fu-ture supply.An entirely different picture  \n\n| OFFICERS OF THE CLUB
