Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Well, that conveniently leaves out Iraq. Iraq has only drilled 10% of the possible fields. Fields come in at an 80% rate compared to 50% or lower in other countries. So that means at 2.2 million barrels a day (down from 2.4 prior to Dumbya's terrorist activities) the actual potential for Iraq is more than the total of the top two producing countries at this time. Iraq is not even close to anything that even vaguely resembles a peak. Lynda - fraggle <EBbrewpunx Sunday, August 21, 2005 7:55 PM Re: Re: Peak Oil By November ?!!!
