The most critical question facing the world energy market is whether Saudi Arabia can substantially increase its oil production to meet rising world demand in the years ahead. Sparked by personal observations of Saudi oil wells which led him to suspect that some Saudi fields were in decline, Matt Simmons has created a compelling case that Saudi Arabia production will soon reach an apex, after which its production will decline and the world will be confronted with an immense and potentially catastrophic oil shortage.
The factual basis of the book is over 200 technical papers published
over the last 20 years which individually detail problems with particular
wells or particular fields, but which collectively demonstrate that the
entire Saudi oil system is “old and fraying.” Based on his
analysis, Mr. Simmons asserts that sudden and sharp oil production declines
could happen at any time. Even under the most optimistic scenario, Saudi
Arabia may be able to maintain current rates of production for several
years, but will not be able to increase production enough to meet the
expected increase in world demand. Eventually, the reckoning day will
come and the world economy will be confronted with a major shock that
will stunt economic growth, increase inflation, and potentially destabilize
the Middle East.
The book is written in a concise and engaging style, providing background
on Saudi Arabia, the oil industry, world oil market, and the management
of the Saudi oil resources. Mr. Simmons addresses technical issues about
oil production in a clear, interesting style, providing documentation
but not losing the reader in details The book is written with a strong
focus and passion, and the overall sense is of a behind-the-scenes expose,
akin to a 60 minutes investigative piece.
Matt Simmons - Energy Banker DVD
Global Public Media's four hour collection of video footage of Matt Simmons includes his seminal presentation at CSIS in February 2004 that sparked international concern for the health and future of Saudi oil extraction. This DVD also includes four exclusive interviews with Matt Simmons: The first is the fascinating interview in Simmons’ Houston office. Then there are the two interviews filmed after both Simmons’ Saudi presentation and the follow-up CSIS-Saudi meeting in April 2004. The final interview was filmed after ASPO 2004. Matt Simmons is extremely candid, informative and open in all his interviews, and this collection documents the still-brewing controversy over whether Saudi Aramco will be able to meet its promise of increasing production to meet the growing worldwide demand for oil over the next several decades.
