Will the same factors affect the American oil industry?

• US oil production will remain at 'historically high volumes’ through 2050: New government report, Yahoo Finance, March 2023
• Projected energy production from crude oil and light condensate in the United States from 2022 to 2050, Statista
• "Strong continuing international demand for petroleum and other liquids will sustain U.S. production above 2022 levels through 2050, according to most of the cases we examined in our Annual Energy Outlook 2023 (AEO2023). We project that the United States will continue to be an integral part of global oil markets and a significant source of supply in these cases, as increased exports of finished products support U.S. production." - US Energy Information Administration[3]

Failure to clarify matters

We've been over this. Russia and Saudi Arabia are oil producing countries; the USA is an oil consuming country. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 12:33, February 26, 2024 (EST)

The weakness in many of your screeds is your over reliance on investment advisors, which are basically sales pitches. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 17:00, February 26, 2024 (EST)

"OilPrice.com reported in an article entitled Analysts Predict 42% Decline In Russian Oil Production By 2035".[4]

"Currently, the Russian oil and gas industry lacks 25 thousand employees. Elena Kuznetsova, partner of Yakov and Partners, told RIA Novosti about the shortage of staff... Kuznetsova emphasizes that it is most difficult for employers to find medium- and highly qualified personnel, since they cannot be replaced quickly. Experts attribute the shortage of labor to the relocation of specialists, the low attractiveness of work in remote regions, as well as the aging of existing personnel and low motivation of young people. Earlier, the head of the Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, said that the shortage of personnel is the main problem of the Russian economy. According to the representative of the Bank of Russia, for further economic growth, it is necessary to ensure not the availability of money and loans, but to increase labor productivity". - Oreana News, 2023 (St. Peterburg, Russia).[5]

And this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what I cover in the article via articles/video.

Bottom line: Russia is very likely headed for a world of hurt. And no denialism and hand waving from a hyper Russophile is going to change this matter. Game over. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.00. Conservative (talk) 19:27, February 26, 2024 (EST)

It's still meaningless. All it is a trade publication and speculation.

Basically, what it is is, whining by Western oil producers cut off from high paying jobs due to their government 's suicidal Russia sanctions. That's all. Google "Arnold J. Toynbee, The Faculty of Mimesis". Between now and 2035, there is 88% of the population of planet Earth who can step up, learn the job skills, and occupy those positions. Granted, the suicide of the West due to the Green economy (which you advocate) will lead to a modest reduction in demand and prices, offset by growing demand among the remaining 88% of the planet. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 19:30, February 26, 2024 (EST)

Moreover, many of those workers from India, China, Africa, Indonesia, and Latin America, who learned the job skills by mimesis, will not have to convert their paychecks into dollars to buy the consumer manufactured goods and necessities of life from China or food from Russia, but instead can pay directly in yuan or rubles. That will be to your detriment due to the falling demand and value of the dollar. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 20:09, February 26, 2024 (EST)

If the labor shortage problem in the oil/gas sector was so easy to solve, then why hasn't Russia solved it or at least made major progress?

"Yes, immigration to Russia is currently experiencing a decline, primarily due to the ongoing war in Ukraine which has led to increased anti-immigrant sentiment, stricter immigration policies, and a significant outflow of people leaving Russia, including migrant workers; this trend is reflected in reduced quotas for residence permits issued by the Russian government."[6]Conservative (talk) 15:34, February 20, 2025 (EST)

Throwing down the gauntlet: A challenge to the man who denies that Russia will have an extremely hard time staffing its oil and gas fields in coming years

The Oreanda-News agency was founded in August 1994 in Moscow, becoming one of the first independent news agencies in contemporary Russia. Since 2007, it has been based in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Please read: In Russia, the shortage of personnel in the oil and gas industry was assessed, Oreana News, 2023

RobSmith, you wrote about oil/gas industry skills and Russia currently being short 25,000 people: "Between now and 2035, there is 88% of the population of planet Earth who can step up, learn the job skills, and occupy those positions."

A lot of the remaining Russian oil/gas expertise in Russia is old and about to retire and young Russians are not stepping up to replace those people enough as Oreana News and others have stated. Also, a lot of the expertise that Russia used to deal with was from the Western oil companies and now Russia has bad relations with the West. Furthermore, in terms of legal immigration, people are not flocking to Russia. In fact, Russia has a brain drain now.

So people who are knowledgeable about future Russian oil/gas production, such as the people at OilPrice.com, are not optimistic.

Your denialism as exhibited by your magic wand waving on the likelihood that Russia will solve this problem is unrealistic and fantasy. You are wishcasting to the nth degree. If the problem was so easy for Russia to fix, Russia would have solved it by now and not be short of 25,000 oil/gas workers. But the problem is getting worse and not better.

So down the pike, like in about 10 years or so (or sooner), it looks like you are going to have to replace Russians/Putin with some other person/group as far as your grossly idealized/unrealistic portrayal of them. Because it looks like Russia is going to be in bad shape in about 10 years or so. But I would suggest worshipping God instead of mere men.

RobSmith, I am giving you a challenge: Give me one credible source that says that Russia is likely going to help solve its expected significantly lower future oil production by 2035 by finding sufficient labor to solve this issue. Just one credible source. I don't expect you being able to do this because I don't expect many people sharing your fantasy. But even if Russia did not manage to achieve this feat, Russian oil is still going to be significantly harder to extract and less profitable to extract.Conservative (talk) 02:52, February 28, 2024 (EST)

Stratfor chart: Russia crude oil extraction cost March 2005 to December 2018

For more information, please read: The Golden Age of Russian Oil Nears an End, Stratfor, 2023

Russia crude oil extraction cost March 2005 to December 2018

Russia's crude oil extraction cost affects how much profit Russia can earn from Russian oil sales. In addition, it can affect the potential amount of Russian oil drilling because if oil is too costly to extract in a given area, the drilling will not occur.

Russia's oil extraction cost are expected to rise in the future. See: The Golden Age of Russian Oil Nears an End, Stratfor, 2023

Oil prices

In the event of a major war between Iran and Israel, with strikes on each other's oil facilities and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices will seriously skyrocket and the Russian Federation will earn billions or even tens of billions of dollars.

Why is it absurd? Unless you give me a good reason or reasons that doesn't involved a logical fallacy or logical fallacies, I will not be convinced. Is the oil extraction costs going up for the Russians because the more shallow wells are becoming less available over time? Presently, is the Russian oil overall extraction costs more expensive than many of its main competitors? Do the Russians have labor shortages that will only get worse due to their demographic crisis? Are alternative sources of energy to gas/oil growing due to improvements in technology? Why are the oil producing countries of Saudi Arabia and the UAE trying to diversify their economies? Will Donald Trump help make American oil/gas production go up? If not, why not? Are there any signs that the Chinese economy is faltering and is China one of the main buyers of Russian oil? Are peace agreements involving cleft countries difficult to have success in and do cleft country peace settlements often fail within a short number of years? If the Russians choose not to have a peace agreement and win a war in Ukraine, given the successful use of guerilla tactics by Ukrainians in the war in Ukraine, is it possible the Russians could face an insurgency that could last for years? Have the Ukrainians successfully attacked multiple Russian oil refineries? If so, how many? I suggest writing a convincing counter essay. Conservative (talk) 11:44, February 20, 2025 (EST)

Vladimir Putin did not count the cost of having an economy so dependent on oil/gas and Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been doing a much better job of diversifying their economies. Putin did not count both the direct cost and the indirect costs of his "Special Military Operation" in Ukraine which looks awfully like a war of attrition that is making Russia's labor shortage and brain drain worse!

To be fair-minded, Trump wants to improve Russia/USA relations because he believes that would help both countries and that Russia has more to offer the USA than Ukraine (However, Europe is the biggest trading partner with the USA and Trump doesn't want to completely ignore European concerns relating to Ukraine/Europe). And Turmp is on record saying he wants to weaken Russia/China ties and one way to do that is to improve USA relations with Russia (Nixon did the same type of thing with China in relation to the Soviet Union). Ending the war in Ukraine could: expand the market for Russian oil/gas over time; give Russia some sanctions relief; give Russia access to more labor from the West as far as oil/gas expertise and give Russia more money for education (including education/training in the oil/gas fields). These things wouldn't solve all the problems related to Russian oil/gas production and profitability (especially in the long-term), but they would be a step in the right direction.

On the other hand, the statistics relating to peace agreements indicate creating lasting peace is hard - especially with cleft country situations. But things look a whole lot better under Trump than Biden.

Next, what Putin does in office does affect the long-term oil/gas economy in Russia.

Are you claiming that Putin's February invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 did not affect Ukraine's demographic crisis and its brain drain (See: Russia's demographic crisis and Russia's brain drain)? And are you claiming these two matters have no effect on Russia's current and future labor quality and labor shortages? If so, why?

Are you claiming that Putin's invasion had no effect on the size of Russia's sovereign fund (The Russian energy company Gazprom is a Russian state enterprise), the value of the ruble, inflation in Russia, risk of stagflation in Russia and its rising corporate bankruptcy rate? Are you claiming that Putin's invasion of Ukraine had no effect on Russia's biggest company Gazprom which is now losing a lot of money? Does Gazprom produce oil through its subsidiary, Gazprom Neft? Are you claiming that the war in Ukraine had nothing to do with the Nordstream pipelines sabotage and that is was not one of the causal factors? Conservative (talk) 17:26, February 20, 2025 (EST)

Russia is a much bigger country than Ukraine in population and the Europeans are now finally ramping up their defense spending. Despite this Russia's military has struggled a LOT in the war in Ukraine due to its weak military and its weak economy which is failing (See: Russia military weakness). On top of this, both Finland and Sweden are now members of NATO. And because Russia was stretched thin it lost Syria and it also lost a member of its counterpart to NATO which is The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

Russia comes out of this war with a pyrrhic victory and much weaker which is no victory at all (Bigger demographic crisis, bigger brain drain, weaker economy, loss of military bases in Syria, etc.). Remember, the UK was part of the winner circle in WWII, but that war accelerated the fall of the British Empire (Loss of India, etc.).

JD Vance said other parts of the world are more important to the USA than Ukraine and that Ukraine is not of strategic importance to the USA. Evidently, Europeans feel the same in relation to themselves or they would have helped Ukraine more.

Lastly, do you agree with Trump that he will bring in a "golden age" to America and did he get the idea of America having a golden age from your Conservapedia MPR posts?!!! Conservative (talk) 20:19, February 20, 2025 (EST)

I am taking a break from the news for a season. I will be focusing on other things such as helping Christendom go from one glorious victory to another! Trump is off to a good start, but I think his Greenland rhetoric was overblown and so was his Canada being the 51st state rhetoric (New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country). Hopefully, Trump improves Russia-USA relations given they have some shared interests (No nuclear war, reduction in Islamic terrorism, etc.). And I suspect USA-Canadian relations will improve once Canada has a more conservative leader. Conservative (talk) 20:59, February 20, 2025 (EST)

Oh, you don't see how Greenland is a negotiating tactic for a Yalta 2.0 Conference? Russia gets to keep Donbass, Crimea, Odessa, Kharkov, and Dnepropetrovsk, China gets Taiwan back, and America gets Greenland and the Canal Zone. And they all lived happily ever after. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 21:06, February 20, 2025 (EST)

I disagree. Trump's victory in 2024, which was bigger than his 2016 victory, caused his ego to get bigger which helped cause the Greenland/Canada remarks. They weren't helpful. Liberal Canadians may decide to buy less USA products for a while. And as far as Greenland, Denmark subsidizes it and the USA has a military base in Greenland. A more diplomatic approach to Denmark regarding Greenland would have been more effective as far as mining, military considerations, the Artic Sea, etc. The chance of the USA buying Greenland when it has a high national debt is very remote - especially since Denmark doesn't want to sell it and the USA doesn't want to invade it. Conservative (talk) 21:16, February 20, 2025 (EST)

You're right. Trump is an irrational egotist who just speaks off the cuff without thinking things through or have a strategic vision for negotiations.

User:Conservative: You should check yourself and do some introspection, recognizing how susceptible and vulnerable you are to propaganda and brainwashing. I know me & Tucker Carlson have after the Iraq & Afghan wars. Andy has about John Bolton. Even Elon Musk has about Ukraine just since 2022.

• Korybko: The US Government’s Reportedly Shifting Rhetoric Towards Russia-Ukraine Is Significant.

All that has happened is President Trump has come out of the closet as a peacenik and publicly gotten on board with conservative, Conservapedia MPR talking points, and what should be Conservapedia editorial policy once the server is cleaned up of millions of bytes of liberal, pro-LGBT and USAID-funded claptrap added by User:Conservative over the past 3 years.

Korybko writes:

The Financial Times and Reuters reported that the US Government (USG) respectively refuses to endorse a joint statement from the G7 and a proposed UNGA Resolution that include the phrase “Russian aggression”, instead allegedly proposing more neutral language like the “Ukrainian Conflict”. That would be extremely significant if true since the US wields more political influence across the world than any other country and can therefore herald a sea change in official global opinion by shifting its rhetoric.

Comment: This evidently is a Putin demand that Trump has caved to, being that Trump says Putin holds all the cards. We should know by the time of the May 9 Victory Parade. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 02:37, February 22, 2025 (EST)

I could be adding meaningful content right now, but can't because of all the liberal claptrap User:Conservative has spammed into Conservapedia over the past 3 years. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 11:06, May 31, 2025 (EDT)

Reuters: "If oil goes into the $80-100 range and stays there, that jeopardizes the global economy." You didn't put this in your calculations, especially after you were told more than 3 years ago that the NATO war in Ukraine will affect global politics for decades to come.

Kirill Dmitriev

Kirill Dmitriev is considered by many as Putin's most likely successor.

The above tweet shows the simplicity and stupidity of "Open Source Intel". (A) The Strait will not be closed without consultation with China; (B) the strait will only be closed to "unfriendly" and "hostile" traffic; (C) overland routes from both Iran and Russia exist and are being expanded.
