With a quotation like "...sources inside Saudi Arabia insist that production from Ghawar is now down to less than three million barrels per day, and that the Saudis are maintaining total production at only slowly dwindling levels by producing other fields at maximum rates. This, if true, would be a bombshell: most estimates give production from Ghawar at 5.5 Mb/d" it is easy to see why this article is essential reading. With Super-Giant fields Burgan (Kuwait) and Cantarell (Mexico) now admittedly in decline and Iran having the 3rd largest reserves of light sweet crude oil and 2nd largest reserves of natural gas as well as stragtegic control of the Straits of Hormuz through whcih most of OPEC oil passes; the temptation to attempt to militarily subdue it using the excuse of its nuclear program or support for Hizbullah would appear to be irresistible.

Solving America's addiction to oil by replacing fossil fuels with biofuels may well be an illusory goal. Some facts cited in this article include: -- The United States annually consumes more fossil and nuclear energy than all the energy produced in a year by the country's plant life, including forests and that used for food and fiber.
-- To produce enough corn-based ethanol to meet current U.S. demand for automotive gasoline, would require nearly doubling the amount of land used for harvested crops, have all of it planted in corn, year after year, and use none for food! Bilaal Abdullah |
