The
U.S. Energy Information Administration, EIA, in a Report of June 3 2014 confirmed
“The UK became a net
importer of petroleum products in 2013, making it a net importer of all fossil
fuels for the first time.”
The
report says that “Although a number of
new fields are expected to come online in 2013, UK production will continue to
decline as new production will not be sufficient to offset the declines.” In
other paragraph the report assures “EIA's Short-Term
Energy Outlook expects UK oil production to continue to decline through
2015. The main reason for this decline is the overall maturity of the country's
oil fields and diminishing prospects for new substantial discoveries in the
future.”
The book Running Out: how global shortages
change the economic paradigm of the autor Pablo Rafael Gonzalez, in their
editions of the years 2005 and 2008, published by Algora Publishing, New York, predicted the depletion of the United Kingdom
reserves of oil for the year 2012. A similar forecast was made regarding the
United States and Mexico oil for the year 2017. All this explains the desperate
efforts to advance fracking, despite the environmental hazard it represents.
The book is a dense analysis of the behavior of
natural resources, especially water and oil as a result of the overexploitation of
the resources and the high population growth; these facts create the conditions
for food shortages and further deterioration of the environment due to the
pollution.
