Conventional Oil vs U.S. Shale: Where do we go from now?

Unconventional Oil and Gas: Myths, Facts and Global Implications

Commodity Club Zürich February 2015 Peter Burri (SASEG): Unconventional Oil and Gas 1

The dimensions of the energy challenge I

  Energy demand will double within the next 40 – 50 y

  Assuming that this demand is supplied with nuclear plants: requires one new 1 GW nuclear plant every day for 40 y

  Result: 365 Nuclear Plants / year, presently some 440 nuclear plants worldwide

Commodity Club Zürich February 2015 Peter Burri (SASEG): Unconventional Oil and Gas 2

The dimensions of the energy challenge II

  2010 power demand in Switzerland was rising by 4 %

These 4% represented 50x the total installed photovoltaic capacity in Switzerland

  Study Canton Neuchâtel 2014: Covering the roofs of all buildings in canton with solar panels would cover 28% of electricity needs

Commodity Club Zürich February 2015 Peter Burri (SASEG): Unconventional Oil and Gas 3

The dimensions of the energy challenge III

Global Primary Energy demand growth 2002 – 2012

  Growth total + 30 %

  Growth of renewables w.o. hydro + 390 %

  Todayʼs share of renewables w.o. hydro 2.5%

BUT

  Renewables covered only 6 % of the total growth in energy. 74% of growth was fossil energy !

Commodity Club Zürich February 2015 Peter Burri (SASEG): Unconventional Oil and Gas 4

Lesson:

  Renewables are still far from covering growth in energy

  No single energy source will solve the world energy needs in this century

  We need a broad mix

… and much more energy efficiency and energy savings

NB. No toxic additives used today in Europe

Criticisms: Methane leaks into soil and water

The area of Zurich could be produced from only one location

Gas Production has a small footprint

Germany: Average gas production cluster of 20 wells: ≈ 30 000 m3 natural gas/hour = 300 000 KWh on an area of max. 0.01 km2.

For the same amount of energy we need alternatively:

  400 km2 of mais crop for biogas

  200 large windturbines covering an area of 25 km2

  19 km2 of solar panels

Conclusions on risks of hydraulic fracturing

Environmental accidents have occurred. They are unacceptable and harm the industry reputation.

But: All the problems can be overcome with existing practices

Safe and environmentally friendly unconventional production is possible AND IS DONE TODAY

There is today no scientific reason to ban hydraulic fracturing.

Solution: clear regulations, standards and control

Commodity Club Zürich February 2015 Peter Burri (SASEG): Unconventional Oil and Gas 22

All scientific institutions with relevant knowhowreject a ban of hydraulic fracturing

Substitution of coal by gas in powergenworks: Example US

Source: US DOE, EPA

Absolute CO2 reduction:2008- 2013: - 12 %

Gas Production in Europe and Environment

Gas covers 25% of the energy supply of Europe.

For environmental reasons it makes sense to produce as much gas as possible within Europe:

  Highest safety and environmental standards (we control !)

  Short transport distances (not 4000 km from Siberia or Algeria): less loss of energy, less CO2 Emissions

  Negligible risk of Methane leaks

Environmentalists should fight for a maximum of domestic gas production

Germany does the opposite - CO2 emissions are increasing

World Energy consumption 2035 by fuel

Commodity Club Zürich February 2015 Peter Burri (SASEG): Unconventional Oil and Gas 42

2035fossil fuels 81% today 86%

Coal consumption remains main threat for global environment

Commodity Club Zürich February 2015 Peter Burri (SASEG): Unconventional Oil and Gas 43

Only gas can solve this problem in the short to mid term

Gas Bubble - good or bad for environment?

1.  Abundant worldwide gas (and oil) reserves are a reality. World Gas resources will last centuries, not decades.

2.  Gas is by far the cleanest fossil fuel

3.  Two possible reactions:

  Ban unconventionals: resulting in rising global CO2 levels and much worse air quality

  Use gas together with renewables to massively reduce emissions through substitution of coal (and partly oil)

The alternative to gas is COAL - with all consequences
