How does that translate into billions of bbls?
MMcm = Million cubic meters.
Kinda goofy if you ask me. cm is more of a GAS measurement than an oil measurement. Oil is generally measured in Barrels throughout the world, sinse its bought and sold in US dollars BY the barrel -- all over the world.
Anyway; 42 US gallons = 1 barrel / 1 cubic meter = 264 US gallons = 6.2 barrels per cm
So, if my numbers are right,,, 1 - 1.5 MMcm = 6.2 - 9.3 million barrels of recoverable oil.
If my numbers are wrong, thats still BooCoo oil.
Now, watch some over educated educated college boy come along and tear my numbers apart..:R
