Oil consumption seen soaring - June 20, 2006: 9:34 AM EDT

Much of world's growth will take place in Asia, although U.S. will still use the most; OPEC needed to meet bulk of demand, EIA says.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - World oil demand should soar from this year's almost 86 million barrels per day to 118 million bpd by 2030, even though higher fuel prices will cut back some petroleum usage, the U.S. government's top energy forecasting agency predicted Tuesday.

Much of the growth in global oil consumption over the next quarter century will come from the non-industrialized nations in Asia, where the strong economies of China and India will gobble up more barrels, according to the Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the Department of Energy.

"Much of the world's incremental oil demand is projected for use in the transportation sector, where there are few competitive alternatives to petroleum," EIA said in its annual long-term international energy supply and demand forecast.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will provide a large chunk of the additional oil supplies that will be needed to meet demand in 2030, the EIA said.

However, the agency said OPEC's total share of global supply will fall from 39.7 percent (34 million bpd) of this year's world oil demand to 38.4 percent (45.3 million bpd) of global oil demand in 2030.

While worldwide oil consumption rises, expected high crude prices will reduce demand by some 8 million bpd more than forecast last year in 2025 to 111 million bpd, EIA said. This year's forecast has projections out to 2030 for the first time.

Oil production from non-OPEC countries in West Africa and the Caspian Sea region is forecast to increase sharply and grab a larger share of the global oil market over the next 25 years.

Oil output is expected to decline in Norway, Europe's largest producer, from a peak of 3.6 million bpd this year to 2.5 million bpd in 2030.

Despite President Bush's call for the United States to end its addiction to oil, Americans will use more crude and retain the title of the world's biggest energy consumers.

U.S. oil demand is forecast to jump from 20.8 million bpd this year to 27.6 million bpd in 2030, still accounting for about one out of every four barrels of crude consumed each day in the world.

The EIA's long-term forecast to 2030 also predicted:

- Global natural gas consumption will jump from 95 trillion cubic feet in 2003 to 182 trillion cubic feet.

- Coal use will grow at an average annual rate of 2.5 percent.

- High oil prices will raise concerns about the security of energy supplies and will increase nuclear power generating capacity.

- Carbon dioxide emissions linked to global warming will rise from 25 billion tons in 2003 to 43.7 billion tons. Non-industrialized nations will account for 75 percent of the increase in emissions by 2030.

- Renewables, like solar and wind power, will meet 9.1 percent of U.S. energy demand in 2030, almost double from 5.7 percent in 2003.

SP has bolted today (+10p) though there seems no volume nor announcement ...... Fingers crossed that it is not another false dawn

Up 17% today, and as you say cynic..not a huge volume. It's number 3 on the risers table at the moment. Wonder what has caused this?? Fair amount of rumour speculation chatter over on iii....I guess we'll have to wait and see. Looking forward to a rise back to 1.30....

Obvious but not necessarily accurate guess would be a leak of news on Glantal and/or positive up-date from Eagle1 .... bear in mind that average daily volume is only about 750k so 400k so far is prob rather heavier than the norm

Galaxy Energy Provides Financing and Operational Update

Denver, Colo. June 27, 2006 - Galaxy Energy Corporation (Amex: GAX) announced today that, pursuant to its business plan as submitted to the American Stock Exchange, it has closed a $2.5 million financing. The Company also provided an update on its activities in both the Piceance Basin in Colorado and the Glantal Project in Germany.

Completion of $2.5 million financing

The Company has closed a $2.5 million financing with institutional and other accredited investors for the private placement of Subordinated Convertible Debentures.

The Debentures are subordinated to the Companys previous senior financings, have a 30-month maturity, which will extend under the terms of the financing until all of the Companys senior debt has been retired, accrue interest at 15% per annum and are payable at maturity. In the event the Debentures are retired at maturity, the holders are entitled to an additional payment equal to the sum of 25% plus .75% for each month (or part thereof) in excess of 30 months that the Debentures have remained outstanding. The Debentures are convertible into 1,602,564 shares of common stock based on a conversion price of $1.56 per share. In addition purchasers of the Debentures received five-year warrants which allow the holders to purchase 480,769 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share.

The proceeds from the financing will be used to reduce debt as well as for other corporate purposes.

The Piceance Basin

The Company controls approximately 6,000 (1,500 net) undeveloped acres in the Piceance Basin through its wholly owned subsidiary, Dolphin Energy Corporation and in partnership with Exxel Energy Corp.

The Company currently has drilling or completion operations underway on four of its wells in the basin.

In the Biscuit Ranch 10-31D well, all completed zones within the overall interval from 7294 to 8462 have now been commingled, 2 3/8 production tubing has been installed, and fracture treatment fluids have been partially recovered while flaring gas coming from the well. Flow periods during the next two to three weeks will force the remaining treatment fluids from the completed zones and the measurement and announcement of producing gas rates from the well will be made after this occurs. The Company has a 25% working interest in this well.

Completion activities are underway in the Mulvihill 15-32D well, with the first interval having been perforated. The fracture treatment for this interval is being designed based on initial pump-in tests. The Company will have an 18.75 to 25% working interest in this well, depending upon a participation election by an unrelated working interest owner.

The Purkey Ranch 13-31B well is currently drilling near total depth after experiencing some rig mechanical problems for a few days last week. Finalization of the drilling, completion of open hole logs and the installation of production casing is expected this week. The Company has a 25% working interest in this well

The Company is currently rigging up a drilling rig at the site of the BR 03-03B Biscuit Ranch well. Drilling of this well will commence as soon as rigging up is complete. The Company has a 25% working interest in this well.

In addition to the interests owned in these four operated wells, the Company through Dolphin has varying working interests in additional non-operated wells. These non-operated wells include one producing well operated by Williams Production RMT Company, two wells operated by Bill Barrett Corporation which are in the completion phase, as well as one well in the completion and evaluation phase, which is operated by Antero Resources Company.

Germany

Koller Workover and Drilling GmbHs completion rig is expected to arrive at the Glantal-1 well site today if no delays are experienced. This rig will be used to test for the presence of gas in four initial zones of the well, which is the first well drilled by Pannonian International Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and its partners in the Glantal Gas Project.

SP misbehaving quite badly on no apparent news ...... suspect market knows more than us, so take cover

except now, after touching about 79 mid, sp has recovered to 87 mid .... so what do I know? ...... About as much as the England football or cricket teams!

Maybe testing is imminent now.

the share itself is downright testing in its own right!

Good to see it ends on a day's high...looks like good news is pending soon.

I would say snowball's chance of news beforehand ....... Wish I could convince myself that news was going to be good anyway though sp seems to beholding quite firmly, albeit that the level is pretty depressed (and depressing) anyway.

young Mr Cynic
are you a holder?

no i am no longer young, yes i am a holder and no i shall not be at the agm ...... and i hope it is fun, though i have some doubt .... i fear a parson's egg at best

Cynic

I think the curate has the egg and the parson has the nose.

Glantal Gas Project, Germany

Completion rig arrived on site and 'rigged up'.
Operations at Glantal-1 have commenced.
The first of four zones being tested will be perforated following wellbore conditioning operations.


AIM quoted Empyrean Energy PLC today announces that operations have commenced in preparation to test four initial zones for the presence of gas at the
Glantal-1 well, the first well drilled by Empyrean and its partners in the Glantal Gas Project. The operator of the Glantal Gas Project, Pannonian International Ltd ('Pannonian'), a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S.-based Galaxy Energy Corporation (Amex: GAX) has advised that following the arrival and rigging up operations of the Koller workover rig, operations are currently running in hole in preparation to condition the wellbore for testing.

The first of four initial zones chosen for testing will be perforated as soon as current operations to condition the wellbore in preparation for testing are complete.

We will make a further announcement as operations progress.

Executive Director Tom Kelly commented 'We are pleased that operations to test the first well drilled by Empyrean and its partners on the massive Pfalzer Anticline are now underway. This marks an important milestone for Empyrean in what has been a busy year.

so in anticipation of a result, albeit that EME have already said that they need little gas for it to prove commercial due to proximity of processing plant etc, shares zip up 10p ...... something of a strange world

clearly AGM was one big yawn

No cynic, reading reports from those who attended, they were all impressed.

Glantal due to start Monday with 1st results possibly Wednesday starting
with the lowest,taking atotal of 30days to complete.

Eagle testing in 3 weeks with Tremendous floresence shows under UV light.

Sugarloaf could produce up 2tcf with 6% attribital to EME.

So the next 2 months are going to very exciting?
