Really when the energy that is demanded in the world manages to substitute the derivatives of hydrocarbons for other forms of energy, then the oil marketing will become obsolete, meanwhile I believe that approximately 300 years will pass in which hydrocarbons will continue in first place as the primary source for energy generation in the world, unless great inventions occur during the next few years that make the commercialization of oil and natural gas little or not at all attractive.

Thank you @frederickbangs for being part of this important debate that we have implemented based on this article (marketing strategies in the oil industry). Greetings
