If Kuwait had 100 Gb left, their remaining reserves would be roughly equal to what the Saudis have produced so far, but look at the difference in the current production rates between the two countries, 9.2 mbpd for SA and 2.5 mbpd for Kuwait (last EIA crude + condensate numbers).

Also, the lower number for Kuwait is supported by Stuart's HL analysis.

Darwinian says Kuwait produces just under 1mbpd, you say 2.5m. Which is it? Makes all the difference to Darwinian's point.

OOOPS..never mind. My bad. Mistook Darwinian's barrels/year for bpd. Sorry.
