Oil and gas:


how much, where?
The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake in 1859 in
Pennsylvania. In 120 years oil and gas turned into the
world's main source of energy, and it is widely assumed
that oil and gas will have to continue supplying the
world with half the amount of energy needed until the
year 2000.
As the oil business seems to affect almost all aspects of
life these days, it has become a recurrent topic of con-
versation.
How is oil formed? How do you find it? Although there
has recently been a surplus of oil, how long will it last?
Following is some information about these questions
drawn from Exxon and other publications.
One of the first terms a student in petroleum geology
may encounter is "sedimentary basin." That is a basin

where layers of shale, sandstone or limestone were de-
posited by water, wind or glaciers over a period of mil-
lions of years. After a natural geological process, petrol-
eum and gas, which form from the residue of rotting
organic matter, gradually accumulate in the basin and
in the pores and cracks between the layers. To find
these pools, these sedimentary basins have to be studied.
Up to now, 600 sedimentary basins throughout the
world have been discovered by geologists. Of these, 160
are known to be productive of oil.

How Much Oil is There?

The total of all the oil and gas believed to be eventually
recoverable, either by known or expected technologies is
called the "total resource base." Those already found
are "discovered resources," and those expected to be
found in the future are "undiscovered potential re-
sources.
Estimates for reserves in already discovered resources
are based on the field's past production, its geological
and geophysical characteristics and comparisons with
similar fields.
According to recent Exxon estimates, the world's total
resource base is believed to be between 3000 and 5000
billion barrels oil equivalent. (Oil equivalent means
crude oil, plus natural gas expressed as its energy equi-
valent in oil, plus liquids removed from the gas). The
total of discovered resource to date are believed to be
between 2000 and 2500 billion barrels, while the undis-
covered potential estimation is between 1000 and 2500
billion barrels. For comparison, the total world pro-
duction since Drake's well in 1859 has been 700 billion.
On the surface it may seem then, that there is "no
problem."

A third course, will start next year, focusing on pronun-
ciation and English grammar structures.
It is planned to eventually organize the courses so that
one could complete the first one and continue with the
other two if needed.
The duration of the classes are six weeks with three
hours of instruction weekly. An extra half hour or hour
will be spent in a lab to work on specific problem areas
in work-related projects.
Sarah Mills, a graduate in Communications at the Poly-
technic of Central London who formerly taught ESL in

inated by their departments to participate in ESL
courses. "However, improving language skills takes con-
siderable personal commitment and effort," Sarah
stressed. "No one can be forced to learn. We hope to
provide the opportunity for employees to develop their
skills."
That is one of the reasons why Mirna Loefstop, a re-
cently employed female Aruban Engineer, would like to
take advantage of that program. "I followed my course
of study completely in Dutch, while the dominant lang-
uage used at Lago is English," Mirna said. "Although

bicycles to and from work every day.
Besides for transportation purposes,
Bill uses the ride as a form of exercise.
Many benefits can indeed be derived from
bicycling at a steady pace.


Sound mind and body with exercise


In the regular daily routine in this age of office jobs,
motorized transportation, computers, video games, te-
levision and other sophisticated machinery, many do
not get sufficient exercise.
In recent years however, people all over the world in-
cluding Aruba, have grown more aware that physical
fitness plays a role in improving their health, appear-
ance and general condition of life.
What are some of the benefits?

BENEFITS OF REGULAR EXERCISE

There are many physical benefits to regular energetic
exercising: the heart pumps more blood with each beat,
the lungs take in more air, and the blood becomes bet-
ter equipped to dissolve blood clots. Nerves more effi-
ciently activate muscle fibers to increase endurance and
ultimate strength, and muscles perform at their best.
Besides physical fitness, exercising also remedies mental
fatigue. Studies have shown that energetic exercising
relieves depression and reduces anxiety. Any physical
fitness enthusiast would probably agree that they can
accomplish more work without experiencing worry or
fatigue, while also sleeping better at night. Test studies
have also concluded that men and women who do not
exercise regularly age faster than those who do.

TYPES OF EXERCISES

The two basic groups of exercises are aerobics and
muscle toners. Muscle toners include calisthenics (sys-
tematic and rhythmic exercises), isometrics (exercises
in which opposing muscles are contracted) and thera-
peutic exercises (those relating to the treatment of dis-
eases).
Aerobic exercises are the type that require oxygen to be
delivered throughout the body rapidly to produce
energy and, as such, aerobic exercises may be most ef-
fective for physical fitness. Jogging, bicycling, walking,
swimming and tennis are all forms of aerobic exercises.
For an exercise to be aerobic, the heart and lungs
should be active long enough to produce beneficial
changes in the body. The following formula can be used
in determining whether your exercise is aerobic or not:
Subtract your age from 220. Multiply by 70%. The re-
sult is the optimum rate per minute your heart should
beat for aerobic training.


AEROBIC EXERCISES

JOGGING is still one of the most popular forms of
exercise in about every corner of the world. About one
third of the people in the Soviet Union and almost 30
million Americans participate in jogging. In Aruba,
dozens of people can be seen jogging on the road to Na-
tural Bridge, at the strip by the Eagle Beach, in the
Seroe Colorado area and in many other spots on the is-
land.
Joggers should do stretching exercises before running to
warm up and after running to cool down. Most joggers
prefer to run three days a week for their regular train-
ing.


Carmen Bislip of the Employee Relations Department and
Cynthia Sharpe of the Medical Center along with employees'
wives and annuitants meet almost every day at the Centro di
Bario Lago Heights for exercise.
An appropriate diet, balanced exercising and proper rest can
produce beneficial changes in the body.

WALKING is said to be one of the safest and least
straining exercises. Walking is effective when it is done
energetically and for a longer period of time than jog-
ging. A report states that 40 minutes of brisk walking
four times a week, achieves the same results as jogging
for 30 minutes three times a week.
One effective and the least time-consuming of aerobic
exercises is ROPE SKIPPING. Test results showed that
rope skipping 10 minutes a day achieved almost as
much cardiovascular efficiency as jogging 30 minutes a
day. (cont. on page 6)

^ I jjJ


Den e rutina diario den e siglo aki di trabow di oficina,
transportation di motor, computer y weganan di video,
television y otro maquinan sofistica, hopi hende no ta
haya suficiente ehercicio.
Sinembargo, den ultimo anjanan, hendenan den henter
mundo, incluyendo Aruba, a bira mas consiente cu un
bon condition fisico ta hunga un papel important den
mehoracion di nan salud, apariencia y condition gene-
ral di bida.
Cual ta algun di e beneficionan?

BENEFICIO DI EHERCICIO REGULAR

Tin hopi beneficio fisico cu por wordo derive di eherci-
cio vigoroso regular: curazon ta pomp mas sanger cu
kada bati, pulmon ta tuma mas aire, y sanger ta bira
mihor equipa pa disolve coagulo di sanger. Nervionan
ta active e fibra di musculonan pa aumenta e resistencia
y forza maximo, y musculonan ta traha de lo mihor.
Fuera di un bon condition fisico, ehercicio ta remedial
cansancio mental. Estudionan a mustra cu ehercicio vi-
goroso ta alivia depression y ta reduci anciedad.
Cualquier fanatico di ehercicio vigoroso probablemente
lo ta di acuerdo cu nan por logra haci mas trabow sin
experienciA preocupacion of cansancio, mientras cu
tambe nan ta drumi mihor anochi.
Testnan a conclui cu hende muher y homber cu no ta
haci ehercicio regularmente ta bira bieuw mas liher cu
esnan cu si ta hacie.

TIPO DI EHERCICIO

E dos gruponan basico di ehercicio ta ehercicionan
aer6bico y ehercicionan cu ta reforza musculo. E eher-
cicionan pa reforza musculo ta inclui calistenia (eher-
cicio ritmico sistematico), isometria (ehercicio den cual
musculonan di position contrario ta sera hunto) y eher-
cicionan teraptutico (esnan relata na e tratamiento di
malesa).
Ehercicionan aer6bico ta e clase cu ta requeri pa oxi-
geno word hiba na tur caminda den e curpa pa pro-
duci energia, y como tal, ehercicionan aer6bico por wel
ta e tipo di ehercicio di mas efectivo den logra un bon
condition fisico. Corre, corre bicicleta, cana, landa y
tennis, tur ta forma di ehercicio aer6bico.


Corremento taun di e mihor formanan
di ehercicio y tambe esun di mas popular.
Ademas di hopi beneficionan firico,
Chela Roga y Shirley Boezem
di Controller's Department to sinti tambe
cu nan por trata mihor cu nan
trabownan diario.


Pa un ehercicio qualifica como aer6bico, curazon y pul-
mon mester ta active pa un period suficientemente
largo pa produci cambionan beneficioso den e curpa. E
sigiente formula por wordo uza pa determine si un eher-
cicio ta aer6bico of no: Kita bo edad for di 220. Multi-
plica e resultado ey cu 70%. Locual result di esey ta e
cantidad pa minuut mas favorabel cu e curazon mester
bati pa un ehercicio aer6bico.

EHERCICIO AEROBICO

CORREMENTO te ainda ta un di e formanan mas
popular di ehercicio. Casi un tercera parti di hendenan
di Rusia y casi 30 miyon Americano ta participa den
corremento.
Na Aruba, docenas di hende por wordo mira ta corre
riba e caminda pa Natural Bridge, den e hanchi riba
Eagle Beach, den Seroe Colorado y na hopi otro lugar
riba e isla.

Ehercicio ... (cont. dipag. 5)

Ta ser bisa cu CANAMENTO ta un di e ehercicionan
menos peligroso y vigoroso cu tin. Canamento ta efec-
tivo si e ta wordo haci energicamente y pa un period di
tempo mas largo cu corremento. Un reportahe ta bisa
cu 40 minuut di cana energicamente cuatro biaha pa
siman, tin e mesun resultado cu corre pa 30 minuut tres
biaha pa siman.
Un ehercicio aer6bico hopi efectivo y cu ta tuma menos
tempo ta BULA CABUYA. Resultadonan di test ta
mustra cu bulamento di cabuya pa 10 minuut pa dia ta
duna casi e mesun resultado den eficiencia di curazon y
venanan, cu corremento 30 minuut pa dia.
Un ritmo constant den CORRE BICICLETA, y
LANDAMENTO constant y vigoroso tambe ta efi-
ciente como ehercicio aer6bico. TENNIS y BASKET-
BALL por ta aer6bico si e hungadornan ta keda den
accion continue.

SEA CAUTELOSO

Aruba ta un lugar ideal pa haci ehercicio pafor. E brisa
di laman so kaba por contribul na pulmon mas salu-
dable y esaki ta un contrast enorme cu mayoria di ciu-
dadnan grand af6 na unda tur local corred6nan por
respira ta gas di exhaust di auto.
Promer cu cuminza riba un program di ehercicio, y
especialmente si un persona ta den duda di su condition
di salud, master haci un check-up di salud pa determine
e capacidad di nan curpa. Cautela y moderacion mester
word practice na tur tempo durante e program di
ehercicio.
Sinjalnan di aviso cu un hende a haci ehercicio dimas
ta: dolor den pecho, palpitacion di curazon na un ora
cu e persona no ta haci nada, y mariamento sin ningun
motibo. Si algo asina pasa, ehercicio mester wordo des-
continua, y mester bai bishita e dokter di famia.


Ora cu ehercicio ta balanzA cu descanso y dieta apro-
pia, e probechonan lo ta hopi: un mihor forma, un
condition fisico mehora, y un mente mas sano.


IExercise ...


(cont from page 4)


A steady pace in BICYCLING, and SWIMMING
with constant and powerful strokes are also efficient
aerobic exercises.

TENNIS and BASKETBALL can be aerobic if the
players keep in constant action.


A WORD OF CAUTION

Aruba is an ideal place for out-of-doors exercises. The
sea breeze alone can contribute to healthier lungs and
this is quite a contrast with most big cities abroad where
all joggers may inhale are exhaust gases from cars.

Before embarking on an exercise program, and espe-
cially when in doubt of one's health condition, indivi-
duals should undergo a health check-up to determine
the body's capacities. Caution and moderation should
be practiced at all times during the exercise program.

Warning signs of exercising beyond limits are: chest
pains during exercise, heart palpitations when idle and
unexplained dizziness. When such occur, exercising
should be discontinued, and the family doctor should
be seen.

When exercise is balanced with proper rest and an ap-
propriate diet, the rewards will be many: a better
shape, an improved physical condition and a healthier
mind.

teristicanan geologico y geofisico y comparacion cu

Segun calculacion reciente di Exxon, ta ser pensa cu e
base di recurso total di henter mundo ta entire 3000 pa
5000 biyon baril petroleo equivalent. (Petroleo equi-
valente ta nifica, zeta crudo, mas gas natural expresa
como equivalent di energia den petroleo, mas liquido-
nan saca for di e gas). Ta ser pensa cu e total di recurso
descubri te awor ta entire 2000 y 2500 biyon baril, mien-

entire 1000 y 2500 biyon baril. En comparacion, e pro-
duccion total di mundo desde e boramento di poz di

Superficialmente anto ta parce cu no tin problema.
Pero e dificultadnan no ta sinta den conta e cantidad di

Reserva Probs di Petroleo

Di hopi importancia a corto plazo ta e reservanan proba
di petroleo. Tin hopi seguridad den e existencia di pe-
troleo den e reservanan aki y ta ser keri cu nan ta pro-
ducibel comercialmente na prijsnan actual of pronos-

Actualmente (e total por varia cu tempo) Saudi Arabia
ta hiba delantera den reserve proba di petroleo cu un
total di 167.9 biyon baril. Kuweit ta sigi cu 67.7. Esta-
dos Unidos ta number seis, despues di Iran, Iraq y
Union Sovietica, cu 29.8 biyon baril di reserve proba di
petroleo.

Ora pone e paisnan productor di petroleo hunto den
grupo, ta result cu dos tercera parti di e reservanan
proba di petroleo ta pertenece na paisnan miembro di
OPEC. Mas o menos 13% ta di Economia Planea Cen-
tral (CPE), cual ta consisti di Union Sovietica, Repu-
blica Popular di China, y algun pais den Europa Orien-

E Organizacion pa Desaroyo y Co-Operacion Econo-

Futuro di Petroleo y Gas como Fuente di Energia

Ya cu ta ser spera cu mundo lo uza entire 30 pa 40 biyon
baril petroleo equivalent pa anja pa e sigiente 20 anja-
nan, e 1000 pa 1200 biyon baril di reserve probi di

tante di petroleo y gas no word encontra pa e tempo
ey, mundo lo mester depend mas hopi riba otro fuen-

Sukhdev Amarnani and Bill Smith from Exxon's Medical
Department, Douglas Nieto of Esso San Salvador and Simon
Geerman of Lago's Industrial Hygiene Section, conducted a
Company-wide industrial hygiene survey last month.

SOil and gas .. (cont. from page 2)
But there are difficulties beyond just counting barrels,
the most significant of which are location of reserves
and increasing costs of finding and producing future
reserves.
Proved Oil Reserves
Of short term importance are the proved oil reserves.
The existence of oil in these reserves is known with a
high degree of confidence and they are believed to be
commercially producible at current or forecast prices.
At present (the total can vary over the years) Saudi
Arabia is the leader in proved oil reserves.with a total of
167.9 billion barrels. Kuwait follows with 67.7. The
United States is number six, after Iran, Iraq, and
U.S.S.R., with 29.8 billion barrels of proven oil re-
serves.
When gathered by groups of oil producing countries, it
shows that almost two thirds of the proved oil reserves
belong to OPEC members. About 13% belong to the
Centrally Planned Economies (CPE), which consists of
USSR, People's Republic of China, Eastern European
and some Southeast Asian countries. The Organization
for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD)
which consists of 24 industrial nations, including the
U.S.A., are only in possession of 10% of the total
proved oil reserves. They are however, the principal
consumers of energy. The remaining 12% is found in
the rest of the world.
Estimates of proven natural gas reserves also show
OPEC countries leading with 35% of the world's total
reserves. This difference between the location of re-
serves and the location of consumption has created what
is now called the "Politics of Oil."
Future of Oil and Gas as Energy Sources
As the world is expected to consume between 30 to 40
billion barrels oil equivalent yearly for the next 20
years, the 1000 to 1200 billion barrels of proved oil re-
serves may be sufficient at present. By the end of this
century however, the discovered resources will become
less and the undiscovered resources will be more diffi-
cult and expensive to find and produce.
In other words, unless significant amounts of oil and gas
are found between now and then, the world will have to
depend heavily on other sources of energy.
Someday, the "Politics of Oil" may be replaced by the
politics of other sources of energy.


Teagle Scholarship revisions
As was announced in a previous Esso News, The Teagle
Foundation Scholarship Program had to be revised to con-
form to IRS rules. Under the new program, those who can
qualify for a Teagle Scholarship are children of Exxon em-
ployees with more than three years of service, and children of
annuitants and deceased employees. Exxon employees can no
longer receive a scholarship for themselves.
Deadline to turn in applications for a 1983-'84 scholarship is
December 1, 1982. Application forms are available in
G.O.B. Room 175-D. For more information call Mr. George
Nicholson at 92134.
