Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy
Where to buy Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy books online?
Product Description
Twilight in the Desert reveals a Saudi oil and production industry that could soon approach a serious, irreversible decline. In this very much researched book, veteran oil industry analyst Matthew Simmons draws on his three-plus decades of insider experience and more than 200 independently produced reports about Saudi petroleum resources and production operations. He uncovers a tale about Saudi Arabia’s troubled oil industry, not to mention its political and societal instability, which differs sharply from the globally accepted Saudi version. It’s a tale that is provocative and disturbing, based on undeniable facts, but until now never told in its entirety. Twilight in the Desert answers all readers’ questions about Saudi oil and production industries with keen examination as a replacement for of unsubstantiated posturing, and takes its place as one of the most vital books of this still-young century.

Simmons is a delusional wacko. Next thing we’ll hear is that there really are small green men from Mars. Only the most gullible would judge this nonsense.
The world is awash in oil. The only thing that has changed is that all the cheap oil is gone. We may have to spend more to find it, extract it and refine it, but that’s a normal progression. What about the oil sands? More reserves in Canada than all of OPEC combined. And then we have the oil shales, the heavy oil deposits in Ven, etc etc. And then we have vast reserves of coal and natural gas, all of which can be readily used as fuel.
Use your brain. Snub this blantant nonsense.

This book is avaluable resource, for such documents as Appendix C, with its material from two overlooked Senate hearings in the 1970s. But when he tries to clarify the context for his material, Simmons regularly gets all tangled up.
For example, on p. 52, he writes, “Faisal bitterly remembered the pledge that Franklin D. Roosevelt had made to his father, assuring Abdul Aziz that Saudi Arabia would permanently have a seat at the table when a resolution to the Palestinian problem was to be chose.”
Yet we don’t have any evidence that FDR didn’t said that, so Faisal could simply have bitterly mis-remembered it! We do know that FDR said things like this, “I will take no action in my capacity of chief of the executive branch of this government which might prove hostile to the Arab people.” But that’s a personal pledge, “I … my…” — not binding upon Truman or anyone since.

I was so looking forwards to this book hoping to get a right insight of the oil industry, but sorry to say just came away disappointed.
All I got from Mr. Simmons is that:
The Saudis are liars…the Saudis rely on 5 or 6 fields for all their oil…the Saudis can produce this oil at obscene low prices…The Saudis will run out of oil…
So what Mr. Simmons!! Isn’t that the primary reason additional production hasn’t come on line?
How many thousands of oil wells have been shut down because they couldn’t hope to profit with oil at $1.00, $2.00, $10.00, $20.00 or even $30.00 a barrel with all this cheaper oil on line?
How many thousands of these oil wells will come back on line with $60.00 barrel oil? How much oil can be produced from oil sands at $60.00? How about oil shale? No where does Mr. Simmons take up these issues, why??
It seems that Mr. Simmons has sold out to the end of the world crowd.
