Disco Destroyer, I have only watched the first part so far (will watch the rest later), but a couple of issues here...
Firstly, no new gas field has ever lasted more than 30 or 40 years with 'full exploitation' under-taken. The claim that Gas will last for 200 years seems a little dubious.
Also, from the following paper...
http://www.parliament.uk/documents/upload/POSTpn230.pdf
| Quote: | Increasing gas storage capacity
Gas storage facilities can act as a buffer against surges in
demand or disruption of supply. The UK’s gas market is
based on a ‘just-in-time’ delivery system relying on
flexible supplies, or ‘swing capacity’, from indigenous gas
fields to meet demand peaks. In essence, the UKCS gas
fields are the strategic storage for the UK. This ready
availability of indigenous gas supplies has meant that it
was not necessary to develop large underground strategic
storage capacity to maintain a secure gas supply. The
UK’s existing gas storage facilities are thus not designed
to provide long-term strategic storage in the event of
prolonged gas disruption. Instead, they are intended as
‘peak-shaving’ (top-up) facilities which supplement the
normal amount of gas delivered to customers during
peak-use periods. This contrasts with many European
countries whose gas markets developed with import
dependency and which have large strategic storage
capacities, of up to 80 days’ on average compared to 13
days for the UK. New UK ‘peak-shaving’ gas storage has
recently been approved at Humbly Grove in Hampshire
and Aldbrough in Yorkshire which will increase total UK
gas storage capacity from 3.3bcm to ~4bcm. |
My first impressions are that Lindsey Williams is deceiving when he claims that "Gas is being pumped back into the ground", when the fact is that this is normal practice to create a storage buffer for supply.
I am personally educated and also work in the 'energy sector' and would recommend 'Oil, Smoke and Mirrors' as far closer to the truth.
... Remember this, if 'those in power' and 'the corporations' in a particular country could benefit personally from 'exploitation' of oil reserves, believe me... The last thing they would do is hide the fact that these reserves exist!
Ps. also note that he states 'Billions of cubic feet... not Millions... yes you heard me Billions!"... Well I say look at the figures for minimal UK storage above, remebering that other countries store far greater amounts. (Oh and remember that the US work in 'feet', we are talking 'bcm' meters... (ie. 1 cubic meter = 35.314 666 572 cubic foot)
Sensationalist maybe? Hmmm?  |

Cheers DD,
Watched all the parts, not quite sure what to make of it all, how credible is this person?
Certainly paints a very bleak picture of what’s up ahead, again I’ll take it all with a pinch of salt until confirmed, interesting though.
