A grand discovery.
Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 4:33 am
Sitting here in front of my computer, Googleing, I have just discovered 8.67E+10 barrels of crude oil. What’s more, this is oil that is or will already be at the refinery, so I don’t have to drill or pump or ship or transship it to anywhere, simply refine it and sell it. This oil is the seven percent of the feed stock to the refinery that is burned to heat the crude for the fractional distillation process. Proven world wide reserves are 1,237.876 billion barrels, so I simply heated the feed stock with a BFR and made a savings of 7%, or 86.7 billion barrels of oil.
To caveat, it is true that the 7% burned to drive the distillation process is extracted after refining, so it is not crude, rather it is asphalt and oil gas, so more accurately, I discovered 86.7 billion barrels of asphalt. But, using BFR heating energy I speculate that the asphalt could be economically cracked into something of high value, like heating oil, for example. So, I here by claim the patent rights to fractional distillation using BFRs to heat the crude oil feed stock. At $110 a barrel, I expect my discovery is worth nearly $10 Trillion.
So hurry up you guys who are setting the scope of the research and you guys who are controlling the purse strings, build me a commercial sized BFR. US refineries are burning up my discovery to the tune of $135 million per day. That's like burning up two brand new, $200 million BFRs every 3 days.
OK. So this is the implications forum. Well an implication is that the oil companies stand to save a LOT of money using the BFR energy source. They also will be presented with the fantastic opportunity to learn that crude oil is to valuable a resource to burn for heat, or as a motor fuel. Better to make plastics, solvents and chemical feed stocks with it. Given the proper processing, it can even be eaten as food, or so I've heard.
