Download or read book Developing Costs in the USA 1945 1985 Finding and written by Morris Albert Adelman and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cost is defined as the ratio of expenditures in a given year on (al) discovery or (b1) development to (a2) reserves subsequently credited to that year, or (b2) reserve additions developed in that year. Mixture of (a) and (b) into "finding" costs is meaningless, and has unfortunately become popular. Development cost changes are a good proxy for discovery cost changes and user cost changes because discovery, development and postponement are three competing forms of investment. Although the discovery of large fields peaked around 1925, oil reserves-added by development increased then stabilized around 1960. Costs tended if anything to decrease through 1972, but the decrease was mostly a one-time gain through the retreat from a costly regulatory scheme. The first price explostion after 1973 saw a strong decline in oil reserves-added. The second price explosion improved the record, but the best performance since 1949-51 came in 1983-85, when oil prices were declining by nearly one-fourth. High oil and gas prices promoted a drilling and high factor prices which inhibited old-field development. Therefore the effect of the price collapse of early 1986 will be mitigated by the decline in cost.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is really no longer necessary to stress the importance of availing of sound statistical information on the environment. Originally .limited to circles of insiders and experts this message has now fully reached political decision makers and the general public at large. In this procedure macro-economics has - sumed a particular role, e.g. when evaluating related financial implications but also when propagating alarming overall figures on the harm this generation is doing to our environment. Accordingly, the need is o!>vious to further promote the development of international standards and - operation in the field of environment statistics in general and environmental economic accounts in p- ticular. Therefore, the AiJstrian Statistical Society (ASS) together with the Austrian Central Statistical Office (ACSO) with pleasure hosted the IARIW Special Conference on Environmental Economic Accounts, in May 1991. These institutions are similarly pleased that now this publication on the proceedings of this Conference can be presented. They connect this with grateful thanks to all those who contributed to the successful completion of this work, in particular the authors and the editors. The impression seems warranted that the outcome of this coordinated overall endeavour was more than just better mutual understanding, viz. something like an increasing consciousness of the common - nominator tending to expand.
Download or read book Valuation and Treatment of Depletable Resources in the National Accounts written by Jonathan Levin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1991-08 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To assess the feasibility of the national accounts treating as assets depletable resources extracted for sale, the paper examines three issues: 1. whether treating natural resources as assets when they are used requires symmetrical accounting when they enter economic reserves; 2. at what stage between existence in nature and extraction entry to reserves could be counted; and 3. how the value of the in-ground natural resource component could be determined. It suggests treating natural resources entering reserves as “imports” from the environmental account added to the capital account, registering additions to reserves at a stage involved in economic activities, and valuing reserves by procedures related to market price.

Download or read book The Peak Oil Scare and the Coming Oil Flood written by Michael C. Lynch and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the earth's oil supply starting to run out, or is there far more oil than some experts believe? This book points out flaws in the research used to warn of an oil shortfall and predicts that large new reserves of oil are soon to be tapped. In the last decade, oil experts, geologists, and policy makers alike have warned that a peak in oil production around the world was about to be reached and that global economic distress would result when this occurred. But it didn't happen. The "Peak Oil" Scare and the Coming Oil Flood refutes the recent claims that world oil production is nearing a peak and threatening economic disaster by analyzing the methods used by the theory's proponents. Author Michael C. Lynch, former researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), debunks the "Peak Oil" crisis prediction and describes how the next few years will instead see large amounts of new supply that will bring oil prices down and boost the global economy. This book will be invaluable to those involved in the energy industry, including among those fields that are competing with oil, as well as financial institutions for which the price of oil is of critical importance. Lynch uncovers the facts behind the misleading news stories and media coverage on oil production as well as the analytic process that reveals the truth about the global oil supply. General readers will be dismayed to learn how governments have frequently been led astray by seeming logical theories that prove to have no sound basis and will come away with a healthy sense of skepticism about popular economics.
Download or read book International Energy Experience The Markets Regulation And The Environment written by G Mackerron and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000-04-19 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How far can energy markets be free as well as competitive? What do low oil prices mean for the oil industry and other energy markets? How can economic efficiency in the energy industries be reconciled with environmental protection? How far is the UK model of liberalising electricity and gas industries being applied elsewhere in the world and how is it faring, at home and abroad? These are typical questions addressed in this collection of articles written by an international group of economists. Edited by the leaders of the two leading UK academic centres of energy economics, the book demonstrates how important the analysis of policy and regulatory frameworks has become for those interested in efficient energy and environmental outcomes./a

Download or read book Development And Demographic Change In Taiwan 1945 1995 written by Roger Mark Selya and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004-05-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and analyzes the demographic changes that took place in Taiwan between 1945 and 1995. It uses an interdisciplinary methodology so that different approaches to demographic change can be compared and contrasted. It attempts to evaluate Taiwan's experience so that lessons for the Third World can be extracted. The content and presentation of the material are deliberately designed to replicate the 1954 work of Barclay, Demographic Change and Colonial Development in Taiwan. As such the book seeks to provide the reasons that economic development without demographic change took place under the Japanese while development with demographic change took place under the Chinese. The volume is richly illustrated with some 82 original maps and graphs.

Download or read book Replacement Costs for Oil and Gas in Western Canada written by Michele McLachlan and published by Calgary : Canadian Energy Research Institute. This book was released on 1990 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines replacement costs and their associated methodologies for Alberta and Saskatchewan oil and gas. Replacement cost is being used to refer to the two different perspectives of the relationship between expenditures on exploration and development activity in the petroleum industry and the reserve additions they generate. The short-term perspective determines the per unit costs of obtaining reserves additions and is thus relevant for issues as cash flow decisions. The long-term perspective provides an estimate of the per unit costs incurred during the exploration and development stages of the energy cycle and is relevant for long-term investment decisions. This study provides a separate analysis for each of these perspectives, an explanation of the differences between them, and a discussion of the limitations of the analyses.
