Jim Letourneau – Workshop Presentation #1: Do You Believe We Are Running Out Of Oil? Jim Says …. No.

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:25 PM on Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

THIS PRESENTATION WILL GO LIVE ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3RD @ 4:30 PM EST.

Please find enclosed our first of two workshop presentations for The AGORACOM Online Gold & Commodities Conference.  Jim Letourneau is the founder and editor of The Big Picture Speculator and is presenting his ideas on the entire concept of “peak oil”.  He simply believes we have more than enough oil and there will be plenty of money to be made from the oil industry – to the tune of 6 – 10 Trillion barrels of oil.  Given the fact we’ve only used 1.2 trillion barrels in the entire human existence, Jim thinks we’re sooner to get priced out of oil than to run out of it.

This is an awesome presentation.  Jim has an excellent delivery, is extremely confident when making his points and backs it up with some great data.

    GNZ hasn’t created much value over the last 3 years but management is stepping up. They need to close a private placement.

    Jim, great presentation. With respect to your comments above on coal, you should have a look at one of your fellow presenters and see what he had to say about coal:

    Great presentation Mr. Letourneau! Really informative and refreshing!!
    I have shares in Goldnev Resourses on the Venture Exchange – This junior oil company has a huge (2 billion barrels) shale oil property at Pasquia Hills, Sask., and I am woundering if you see a possibility of this company developing this resourse to production in these hard financial times.
    Again, Great presentation Mr. Letourneau. Thanks. Robert C.

  4. Here’s an example I didn’t use as it is new…

    InterOil Corp. sets a record for a vertical gas well DST @ 705 MMcf/d of gas and 11,000 b/d of condensate!

  5. Rocky:

    Had not heard of ATK but I like their strategy.

  6. Mike:

    Natural gas pollutes less than oil which pollutes less than coal. We’re going to be using them for the foreseeable future… until a (potentially unforeseen) technology advance replaces them.

  7. rocky says:

    hi jim, thanks for the great presentation! was wondering if you have heard of ATK (sean kehoe, ceo of longbow before bought out) anyways they got into a farm-in deal with triaxon and then trixon was just bought out by cresent point! drilling starting right away seems very under valued with a great team in ATK! thoughts?

    oh yeah “drill baby drill” lol

    CHEERS

  8. Mike says:

    I’m sorry, I really can’t take people serious that make such claims. First, oil will run out sooner or later. But that should not be the focus. Goal should be to get off of it due to learnt issues, such as pollution, etc.

    Message to those who are for “drill baby drill” stop being lazy and greedy!!!

    And, for those who don’t believe in global warming, AKA “Climate Change”, please try the following experiment. Go lock yourself in an air tight room without any plants and describe what happens.

    Please use common sense and be less egotistical. Thanks!
