This economic analysis examines the exploration, development and production of Texas oil and gas between 1970 and 1995. It looks at the geophysical and economic explanations of oil and gas production, then goes on to look at models of drilling, sources of reserve addictions and production models.

(Moroney's investigation of several aspects of the product...)
Moroney's investigation of several aspects of the productive structure of manufacturing not only assembles in one place a body of material that is scattered throughout the literature but also contains a great deal of original material, which makes it an extremely valuable contribution to the field. Originally published 1972. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print. These editions are published unaltered from the original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and cultural value.

( The future of the oil and gas industry in our neighbor ...)
The future of the oil and gas industry in our neighbor and NAFTA partner, Mexico, affects both U.S. and world markets and, more importantly, the country’s own economic development. Fossil fuels—oil, natural gas, and coal—account for 92 percent of all energy consumed in Mexico. This creates two fundamental dilemmas for the country. How can it increase energy consumption at the same time it cleans up the air and water, and how can it sustain growth that is based on a nonrenewable resource? Oil and natural gas are produced exclusively by Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), a government monopoly. For that reason, economists John Moroney and Flory Dieck-Assad center their important study of the Mexican oil and gas industry on the recent history of that company and its complex relationship with the Mexican Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Finance, and Congress. The result is the first detailed account of PEMEX’s fiscal situation during the twenty-year period from 1979 to 2000, a period of declining oil and gas reserves. Energy and Sustainable Development in Mexico provides a vertically integrated model of exploration for oil and gas and development of reserves, the geophysical basis of production. The authors cogently assess Mexico’s goals of sustainability and the major policy changes that will be required to achieve them. Although their analysis of Mexico’s energy sector is based on rigorous econometric models, the book will be of keen interest and easy access to readers concerned with Mexican economic development and its prospects for the future.

( Can catastrophic climate change in this century be aver...)
Can catastrophic climate change in this century be averted without strangling the world economy and global aspirations for improved living standards?both of which depend on the continuing prominence of fossil fuels in the 21st century? Power Struggle: World Energy in the Twenty-First Century argues that it can. Moroney demonstrates that energy is the cornerstone of world civilization and global economic growth by measuring the tight coupling between energy per capita and real standards of living. Fossil fuels-oil, natural gas, and coal-today account for 88 percent of world energy. The author shows that renewable energies such as solar, wind, ethanol, and biodiesel cannot be deployed to replace fossil fuels on a globally significant scale within the next 50 years. Fossil fuels, he maintains, will continue to dominate world energy for the next half-century, in spite of the coming severe depletion of world reserves of conventional oil and gas. But since the burning of fossil fuels is the principal source of carbon dioxide emissions, which are in turn the principal source of global warming, how can catastrophic climate change be avoided? The solution to the dilemma, says Moroney, is to capture and permanently store most of the carbon dioxide emitted by the human race. Half of all human CO2 emissions originate in 8,000 electric power plants, refineries, steel mills, and other manufacturing facilities around the world. The technology is at hand to capture the CO2 emissions from these big plants and store them, permanently and harmlessly, in geological traps and the deep ocean, instead of releasing them into the atmosphere. Coal-fired power plants with near-total capture of CO2 emissions will become operational in the United States and Western Europe as early as 2012. If the world is to thread the perilous straits of economic and climate catastrophe, international cooperation and capital investment on a scale unprecedented in human history will be required. Power Struggle marshals the most important facts concerning world energy reserves: where oil, natural gas, and coal, and uranium reserves are located; how long they will last at projected rates of consumption; and why the most prosperous countries of the world will increasingly rely on oil and natural gas imports from the Middle East and Russia. Moroney shows why it is reasonable to expect that unconventional oil and gas sources such as heavy crude oil, tar sands, and oil shale will come on stream as feasible long-term substitutes for the world's depleted reserves of conventional oil and gas.
