Abstract:
The presentation reviews ExxonMobil's global energy outlook through 2030. The projections indicate that, at that time, the world's population will be ~8 billion, roughly 25% higher than today. Along with this population rise will be continuing economic growth. This combination of population and economic growth will increase energy demand by over 50% versus 2000. As demand rises, the pace of technology improvement is likely to accelerate, reflecting the development and deployment of new technologies for obtaining energy--to include finding and producing oil and natural gas. Effective technology solutions to the energy challenges before us will naturally rely on modeling complicated processes and that in turn will lead to a strong need for super computing. Two examples of the supercomputing need in the oil business, seismic approaches for finding petroleum and petroleum reservoir fluid-flow modeling (also known as "reservoir simulation") will be discussed in the presentation.
