Based on this recognition, Korea’s Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP) was launched in 2004 by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance (MOSF) and the Korea Development Institute (KDI). KSP aims to share Korea’s experience and knowledge with the partner countries to achieve mutual prosperity and cooperative partnership. Former high-ranking government officials are directly involved in the policy consultation to share their intimate knowledge of development challenges, and to complement the analytical work of policy experts and specialists who have extensive experience in their fields. The government officials and practitioners effectively pair up with their counterparts in the development partner countries to work jointly on pressing policy challenges and share development knowledge in the process. The program includes policy research, consultation and capacity-building activities, all in all to provide comprehensive and tailor-made assistance to the development partner countries in building a stable foundation and fostering capabilities to pursue self-sustainable growth. In 2015, policy consultation and capacity building workshop were carried out with 32 partner countries covering over 100 research agendas. As a new partner, Nicaragua and Visegrad Group were selected in consideration of the country’s policy demand, growth potential, and strategic economic partnership. The 2015/16 Knowledge Sharing Program with Kuwait was carried out with the aim of exchanging socio-economic development experience of two countries for improving Kuwait’s policy making capacity and achieving her socio-economic development. Under the MOU signed between the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of Korea and the General Secretariat of the Supreme Council for Planning and Development of Kuwait, the joint research and seminars were conducted in order to support the establishment of “Evaluation of Public Investment Management System (PIMS) in Kuwait”. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Senior Advisor Mr. Jong Chan Choi, Project Manager Prof. Kang-soo Kim, as well as the project consultants including Prof. Yeonseob Ha, Dr. Sungmin Han, Dr. Jongyearn Lee and Ms. Meesoo Park for their immense efforts in successfully completing the 2015/16 KSP with Kuwait. I am also grateful to Executive Director Dr. Si Wook Lee, Program Director Dr. Kwang Eon Sul, and Program Officer Ms. Jiyu Ha, and all members of the Center for International Development, KDI for their hard work and dedication to this program. Lastly, I extend my warmest thanks to the Kuwaiti counterpart, the General Secretariat of the Supreme Council for Planning and Developmentand other related agencies, program coordinators, and participants for showing active cooperation and great support. In your hands is the publication of the results of the 2015/16 KSP with Kuwait. I believe that KSP will serve as a valuable opportunity to further elevate mutual economic cooperation of Kuwait and Korea to a new level. I sincerely hope the final research results on the selected areas could be fully utilized to support Kuwait in achieving economic development goal in the near future.

On the light side the believers in a sustainable future based on clean energy fight to save us from climate change. The dark side defends the continuing use of fossil fuels, often careless of the impact it has on the world. Jeremy Leggett fought for the light side for a quarter of a century as it lost battle after battle. Then, in 2013, the tide began to turn. By 2015, it was clear the the war could be won. Leggett’s front-line chronicle tells one person’s story of those turnaround years, culminating in dramatic scenes at the Paris climate summit, and what they can mean for the world. iv “Given how vital developments in energy and climate will be for the future global economy, a front-line chronicle of events as they unfold in the make-or-break year ahead promises to be fascinating.

The Wikipedia Oil Megaprojects task force (Khebab, Ace, and I) has been busy over the last few weeks. With some assistance from helpful strangers, we have been ploughing through press releases and annual reports, adding projects to the Wikipedia page on Oil Megaprojects. I introduced this project two weeks ago, and today I want to give an interim progress report. As of now, we've reached about 350 citations used in collating the information. I have mainly been working on the past - the years 2003-2006 - while the years from 2007 onwards have mainly been handled by Ace and Khebab (though there is some crossover both ways). The 2003-2006 projects, of which there are currently 108, depend on about 140 citations.

    The Oil Drum | Crude Oil and Liquids Capacity Additions: 2011-2015 http://www.theoildrum.com/node/7785 Crude Oil and Liquids Capacity Additions: 2011-2015 Posted by Sam Foucher on April 13, 2011 - 8:39pm This is a guest post by J. Michael Bodell and myself. Michael is currently an energy consultant operating as Aperio Energy Research. Mr. Bodell is the in-house expert on oil and natural gas market fundamentals for Strategic Energy Research & Capital, LLC, a specialized brokerage and investment firm. He worked for CERA from 2005 to 2007 and was the architect and lead project manager for a two-phase multi-client report, "Diminishing Returns: The Cost of North American Gas Supply in an Unconventional Era," a body of work that evaluated the all-in, full- cycle cost structure of about 275 supply basins. In 2008 as a consultant, he was the lead author on a CERA decision brief research paper, "Natural Gas Yield Curve: A Powerful Tool for Natural Gas Market Analysis." Prior to CERA and SERC, Mr. Bodell was the strategic planning manager for Unocal Midstream & Trade, where he lead a team to perform oil, gas and power market fundamentals and strategy evaluation in underground natural gas storage development. This analysis is designed to demonstrate why we believe that productive capacity relative to consumption will be sufficiently tight over the next several years to elevate crude prices to the investment cost of the marginal unit, about $100 per barrel. In fact, if annual non-OECD demand continues to grow at 3.5 percent or 1.4 Mb/d per annum, we expect another episode of deficit comparative inventory that will elevate spot prices above this mid-cycle price.

  • Peak Oil and Our Future How Energy Depletion Will Change Our Lives
    Peak Oil and Our Future How Energy Depletion Will Change Our Lives by Doug Craft [email protected] Updated March 2013 © 2013Charles Douglas Craft Image Sources (ASPO Spain 2002, DOE 2004, EIA 2007b) Peak Oil and Our Future How Energy Depletion Will Change Our Lives by Doug Craft [email protected] Doug's Resume Art: http://www.dougcraftfineart.com Original June 2007 – Updated March 2013 © 2013 Charles Douglas Craft SUMMARY Peak Oil and declining energy supplies represent the most serious crisis we have ever faced as a species. Current world population and our relatively luxurious way of life in America are completely dependent on cheap and readily available energy. Our civilization has developed over the past 150 years because we have discovered and exploited abundant – but finite – fossil fuels for cheap energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas were formed millions of years ago, and our use of this one-time planetary energy endowment has significantly increased food production and has led to exponential population growth. Cheap energy has produced social progress and technological wonders, but it has also allowed our population to expand seriously beyond the ability of the earth's natural (non-fossil fuel) carrying capacity. Production of all finite natural resources over time follows a bell-shaped curve of increasing production, peaking maximum production, and then decreasing production. Unfortunately, this behavior is a fundamental property of nature and the laws of thermodynamics. While there's a large amount of underground oil remaining in the world, we have already used the higher quality and easy to produce half of known reserves and are at or very near the ultimate peak of world production – Peak Oil.

  • Oil and Gas News Briefs, September 24, 2018
    Oil and Gas News Briefs Compiled by Larry Persily September 24, 2018 LNG contractors warn developers not to underestimate costs (S&P Global Platts; Sept. 20) - Global contractors bidding on the second wave of U.S. LNG export terminals had a simple message for developers: "You get what you pay for." As Gastech wrapped up in Barcelona, executives from Bechtel, Fluor, KBR, McDermott International, and Spain's Tecnicas Reunidas provided a sense of realism about costs. "Enthusiasm is not a strategy," Fluor CEO David Seaton said during a Sept. 20 panel. "That's a lot of what we see with the new customers who are more the developer type. All they are doing is looking at their spreadsheet rather than the real cost of building." The message comes amid delays at several of the first-wave export terminals under construction along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, including at Freeport LNG's facility in Texas, Sempra's Cameron LNG site in Louisiana and Kinder Morgan's Elba Island project in Georgia. With more than a dozen terminals proposed as part of the second wave of U.S. projects targeting the 2020s, there is pressure to sign engineering, procurement, and construction deals for the lowest possible cost. Cameron's experience is an example of what can happen when insufficient attention is paid up front to properly bidding for the realistic cost of construction, said McDermott CEO David Dickson, whose company inherited its contractor role on the project when it acquired CB&I earlier this year. It had to take a write-down because of extra costs related to construction.

We also provide forecasts of future oil production, reflecting the Megaprojects data. The IEA uses megaprojects in its analysis and we reconcile our Megaprojects information to the data they provide in their report. A wide variety of methods can be used to forecast future oil production. Each will provide different indications. Sam and I each make projections with megaprojects data, using somewhat different methods. Sam’s projections are shown in Figure 6. My forecasts are shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10. Despite our differing methods, the indications we produce are all substantially lower than the indications of the IEA. Until quality data about production history, reserves and future development plans including capacities are obtained for fields in secretive OPEC countries, forecasts beyond 2012 are highly uncertain, regardless of the source. While quality data remain unavailable, the world's future energy security, in particular liquid fuels supply security, remains an extremely high risk. This chart shows the IEA WEO 2008 forecast together with Sam's forecast derived from using Megaprojects sanctioned capacities and yet to be sanctioned capacities (including yet to find oil - YTF).
