Energy economics

autonomous intergovernmental organisation

use of energy in ways that meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs

thumb|Thomas Robert Malthus, after whom Malthusianism is named Malthusianism is a theory that population growth is potentially exponential, according to the Malthusian growth model, while the growth of the food supply or other resources is linear, which eventually reduces living standards to the point of triggering a population decline. This event, called a Malthusian catastrophe (also known as a Malthusian trap, population trap, Malthusian check, Malthusian snatch, Malthusian crisis, point of crisis, or Malthusian crunch) has been predicted to occur if population growth outpaces agricultural

The Offshore and Onshore Reliability Data (OREDA) project was established in 1981 in cooperation with the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (now Petroleum Safety Authority Norway). It is "one of the main reliability data sources for the oil and gas industry" and considered "a unique data source on failure rates, failure mode distribution and repair times for equipment used in the offshore and onshore industry. OREDA's original objective was the collection of petroleum industry safety equipment reliability data. The current organization, as a cooperating group of several energy companies, was est
