tar sands process / jobs, employment
For many years, it has been the case that Hollywood produces several films about UFOs and similar phenomena yearly. Why? The answer to that is simple: because people are drawn to them. In more recent years, issues such as global warming, rising energy costs as well as other environmentally centered issues, accompanied by the fact that everyone is rushing to find solutions to save money has become a phenomenon in itself. Films such as "The Day After Tomorrow," "The 11th hour" and the several films based on issues in the Middle East released each year are perfect examples of this. Putting pop culture and liberalism aside, it has been become clear that many problems associated with the environment and energy resources are greatly effecting todays world.
Oil Sands
Newly highlighted extra heavy oil resources, such as the Orinoco oil belt north of the Orinoco River in eastern Venezuela, the Athabasca Oil Sands in Alberta Canada and Utah's Tar Sand Resource, have been gaining our attention. It is estimated that he Athabasca Oil Sands in Alberta Canada, the second largest tar sand oil reserve in the world has 175 billion barrels of crude oil.
Gazprom
Gazprom, the biggest extractor of natural gas in the world and the largest company in Russia, accounts for about 93 percent of Russian natural gas production. With reserves of 28,800 km³, it controls 16 percent of the world's gas reserves. With 119 billion barrels of reserves, Gazprom ranks behind only Saudi Arabia, with 263 billion barrels, and Iran, with 133 billion barrels, as the world's biggest owner of oil and oil equivalent in natural gas. It's been apparent that Russian has been preparing to create a gas equivalent of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) since the idea of a gas OPEC was first floated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2002. It was revived by Gazprom board member Aleksandr Medvedev in May, 2006 when he threatened that Russia would create "an alliance of gas suppliers that will be more influential than OPEC" if Russia did not get its way in energy negotiations with Europe. A "memorandum of understanding" signed between Russia and Algeria on August 4, which significantly calls for coordinated gas prices, could perhaps be a move in this direction. Russia and Algeria (which currently has the world's eighth largest gas reserves) are two of Europe's three main gas suppliers. If such an alliance were to come into play, Norway, Europe's third supplier, could slowly be out of the loop simply because it would limit Europe's ability to shop for cheaper gas over time and ensure its dependency on an organization controlled by Moscow. Algeria is most likely ready to embrace the idea of coordinated gas prices with Russia along with Iran, which has the world's second largest gas reserves and Qatar, which has the world's third largest gas reserves. It's also safe to say that Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan would also be more than willing to join. It's true that such an alliance already exists. "The Gas Exporting Countries' Forum (GECF), which first met in Tehran in May 2001, consists of 15 gas-producing nations. It collectively controls 73 percent of the world's natural-gas reserves and 41 percent of production. Algeria was one of the founding members of GECF, along with Iran and Russia."(http://publiuspundit.com/2007/12/benazir_bhutto_freedom_fighter.php) Currently GECF has no staff and no headquarters and, as of yet, hasn't made any attempt what so ever to set prices. But with the signing of the Russian-Algerian agreement, it might be only a matter of time before this organization becomes more prominent.
Equatorial Guinea
Equatorial Guinea has experienced rapid economic growth due to the discovery of the large offshore oil reserves, and in the last decade has become Sub-Saharan Africa's third largest oil exporter. In 2004, the Equatorial Guinea's production has reached 360,000 barrels per day. As a result Malabo's population has nearly doubled.

Yesterday all servers in the U.S. went out on strike in a bid to get more RAM and better CPUs. A spokes person said that the need for better RAM was due to some fool increasing the front-side bus speed. In future, busses will be told to slow down in residential motherboards. |
