M. King Hubbert, petroleum geologist, first advanced the following hypothesis around 1949-1950: A continuation of the historical decline in oil and gas discoveries per square-foot of exploratory drilling, would eventually cause oil and gas production to peak and then decline over time. (Source: http://www.hubbertpeak.com/ )
The logic of this hypothesis can be demonstrated by showing that the variable “Volume Produced” lies simultaneously in a positive and a negative causal loop. Please draw an influence diagram by using the following elements to demonstrate this:
ELEMENTS: 1. Cost of Discovery, 2. Cost of Production, 3. Price of Oil, 4. Profit of Oil Companies, 5. Volume Demanded, 6. Volume Produced, 7. Capital Investment (in exploration and production), 8. Remaining Oil Reserve, and 9. any other element(s) you may use.
[Hints: First create a positive loop that would take "Volume Produced" to a high level. Then attach a negative loop that will generate a counteracting force, which would bring down "Volume Produced."]
CP Evaluation Formula
Your CP final grade will be a weighted average of your component grades.
Example: Supposed you have secured the following grades:
Quiz-1: B+, Quiz-2: C+, Assignment: B, and End-Term: C+
The calculation will go like this:
Quiz-1 (20%) | Quiz-2 (20%) | Assignment (20%) | End-Term (40%) |
B+ (6) | C+ (4) | B (5) | C+ (4) |
Therefore, the final score will be:
6 (0.2) + 4 (0.2) +5 (0.2) + 4 (0.4)
= 1.2 + 0.8+ 1.0 + 1.6 = 4.6
(Since this is between 4.5 and 5.5, it will be considered a "B").
So your final score will look like this: 4.6 (B)
