Stanford study finds energy requirements of super-giant oilfields can significantly increase over time

Green Car Congress

Time-series trends in normalized upstream GHG intensities of twenty-five global oil fields (offshore and onshore) with dfferent extraction practices (water injection/flooding, gas injection/flooding/lifting, or steam flooding) over the course of production in the period of 1949–2015. This should be accounted for in future modeling efforts.
