Doomberg Pro

What is Doomberg Pro?

Each month, we publish a recorded presentation for our Pro tier subscribers. Sometimes these sessions involve an invited guest, but most often we are publishing a Doomberg original deep-dive. Recent presentations have included: Investing in Energy: A Frame work for Strategic Decision-Making, American Road Trip: A Comprehensive Tour of US Shale Resources, and The Year of the Dragon: China Through the Lens of Energy. The topics we tackle are material, and we aren’t shy about making bold calls.

Pro seats are available at $1200/year. Upgrade instructions can be found here. Email us at [email protected] for group discount inquiries. Thank you for your consideration!

Recently released: May 2025 Session

In 1986, scientist Thomas Gold oversaw an initiative to begin drilling for oil in the Siljan Ring near Rättvik, Sweden, home to a large meteorite strike some 360 million years earlier and one of the most unlikely places on the planet to find oil. Eighty-four barrels of hydrocarbon sludge were produced in the experiment.

Gold was pursuing a concept he had been mulling for over thirty years: that hydrocarbons are primordial, exist in vast quantities deep within the Earth, and are not from biogenic decomposition. This controversial idea continues to hold intrigue for many despite being derided as “junk science” for decades. We are regularly asked if we believe it.

In this month’s Pro Tier presentation—Are Hydrocarbons Really “Fossil” Fuels?: A Balanced Assessment of a Forbidden Hypothesis—we review the evidence for both the prevailing theory and Gold’s hypothesis to give you the opportunity to decide for yourself.

Pro tier members can access the presentation in the Archives below.
