Thanks, Roger. I will be posting on the other areas of KSA as well. As far as other areas of the world, one big problem is that with many of the frontiers, one has to see through water as well as "see" through the rock. I have poked around Alberta a bit, but it's just too depressing.

How about Russia? Could Russian production be monitored in this manner?

This is fantastic work.

Well, now you've done it.

Samotlor is visible (but daunting because there are thousands of wells), Sakhalin is somewhat visible, but Romaskino has just low resolution so I haven't found anything yet. Another year, another project.

Hmm. Sounds like a grant application to me. Someone has got to want this kind of information made publicly available. NGOs, perhaps?

Peak Oil Primers

“This order [i.e. capitalism] is now bound to the technical and economic conditions of machine production which today determine the lives of all the individuals who are born into this mechanism, not only those directly concerned with the economic acquisition, with irresistible force. Perhaps it will so determine them until the last ton of fossilized coal is burnt.”

—Max Weber, 1905
