I tend to side with the "Soviet" petro engineer who proved on the McNeal Lehrer hour the Soviet Union had FOUR QUADRILLLION barrels of economically viable recoverable crude.
Mex, I have never heard of that figure before, I was under the impression that Venezuela had the most recoverable crude (at a $85 oil price anyway) could you please find a link to that McNeal Lehrer show?
IMHO: That might change a lot of peoples arguments about the collapse of Russia from the oil price decline (if it stays at this level or goes lower) and the baseless claim that we engineered the fall, knowing how it would blow up every shale/fracking operation out there and wipe out thousands of jobs in Nodak and elsewhere, plus the hundreds of billions in oil based derivatives that now are going to blow up and for all intents and purposes be uncollectable.
Thanks
