David Strahan. Non-conventional oil: can it fill the gap?. Petroleum Review, February 2010. pp16-19.
The oil crisis is not dead - only sleeping - according to a gathering consensus, writes David Strahan.
Conventional oil sources may be depleted but there is no shortage of non-conventional reserves such as tar-sands, oil shale and synthetic liquid fuels made from gas or coal. But these need vast amounts of energy, money and water to extract.
