Stephen Purves of ffA on Revolutionizing the Search for New Oil and Gas Fields

With depleting oil and gas fields around the world, newer fields have to be found. We cannot afford to speculatively drill as it is not only expensive but it also harms the environment. Now oil and gas companies are relying heavily on surface seismic data acquisition/interpretation which poses a tremendous technical challenge in raw data management and compute processing. Finding the fields is quicker, easier and more interactive with the compute processing capability of Tesla powered by CUDA.

Audio is of poor quality. But the presentation was overall excellant.

The problems isn't we're running out; rather we use it up faster than the Earth can naturaly replace. Deep oil is abiotic, it moves up threw fissures to replenish the overlying oil fields. The key lies is resting old oil fields.Recycling alll plastics. Get ammonia and hydrogen online. Equipt every driver with a government approved and tested still to produce automobile grade alcahol to which to run a flex fuel vehicles.

EOR my man, EOR.

Its actually become clear that there is no LARGE oil basins left to be discovered on the planet, the implications of this are rather catastrophic. Our whole world is massively dependent on oil.. most people have little understandeing of the implications of high oil prices and shortages, was it a coincident that the global recession and bank failures happend immediately after oil reached $120+ a barrel? is it just by chance that iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world? WAKE UP!!!

lol NICE!
