The discussion around the future global demand, supply and reserve-situation is intensifying.
Are we actually running out of oil (and gas) or not? And if so when?
Will the reserves collapse or will new finds take care of the future?
Will production keep up with demand? And if not, what then?
Many questions and even more answers.

Dr. Douglas B. Reynolds is associate professor of oil and energy economics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and is the graduate director of the Masters of Science program in Natural Resource and Applied Economics. He was the lead economics consultant for the Alaska State Legislature for natural gas pipeline issues in 2002 and developed economic models of various natural gas pipeline projects for Alaska. He has lived, given lectures, and studied oil and gas issues in Kazakstan, Russia, Mexico, and Norway, and speaks Norwegian, and some Russian. Dr. Reynolds has published a number of academic peer reviewed journal articles, editorials, and general articles in the oil and energy field and has published two books on energy including "Scarcity and Growth Considering Oil and Energy," and "Alaska and North Slope Natural Gas"

The University of Alaska Fairbanks is Alaska's premier research university. Because Alaska is America's third largest oil producing state, UAF has a number of research projects in oil and energy including projects in gas hydrates, gas-to-liquids, North Slope oil and gas, trans-Alaska/trans-Canada natural gas pipelines, and heavy oil. Graduate students who come to UAF are immersed in oil and energy issues including Alaska's unique environmental problems.
