HO - thanks for another great techie post. Please keep them coming.

As for reserves, and leaving abiotic reserves out of the picture (not too difficult to do with non-existing oil), the argument comes down to one of when peak oil will occur, not if. Even if we were to accept the USGS blueskying, it only pushes the peak back a relatively short period. The question of total proven reserves (or even OOIP for that matter) is important to response, but not to the underlying problem.
