Another great job Dave.  Great work.
I agree, with one exception: Dave, could you please start quoting figures that make sense?  "2.0/mbd" is nonsensical.  2 whats per million-barrel-days?

It's 2.0 million barrels per day.  Choose the short form you like, just choose one that someone else somewhere uses and makes some sense - i.e. stop putting slashes immediately after the number.  Personally I like Mb/d, but that's because I happen to think metric prefixes make sense.

This may seem petty, but in one of your other excellent posts you had this, and other unit confusion, littered throughout, and it really detracts from the article.  It's not just me saying this, other people I have referred to the article have said the same thing.

I wasn't confused by that.  
ie, there's not much else it could have meant.
I'm always sorry for any confusions arising from notation. That way of expressing daily production numbers has become habitual for me. If this is unclear to some, I will simply spell it out in the future for those not immediately familiar with what is meant.

Technicallly speaking 2.0/mbd means 2 per million barrel day - which sounds like Borat talking oil:-)

Anyway, superb article.

it is petty
