Thanks Meta,

That's the summery I read to reach my conclusion. I suppose if I want to back up my claim I'll have to bite the bullet and buy the doc. I expect a lot of folks will be referring to the conclusions and not be very interested in reading the boring technical side...like the methodology in Section B.

As far as suing them I'm not sure what your basis would be if they explain their methodology correctly. If they say they are assuming the OPEC reserve numbers are correct you could argue that's a poor assumption. But they are not responsible for the accuracy of numbers supplied by a third party.

In other words: same ole BS: IF my assumptions are correct then MY conclusions are correct.

ROCK - in re: investment, I was reading up a bit on "Project Kuwait" last night. What a boondoggle - their parliament hasn't even acted on the thing, usual xenophobic feet dragging - although I wouldn't look a XOM gift horse in the mouth either. No chance of them hitting 4 mb/d by '10 - although they are up ca. 200 kb/d over 2007 this year; I see that main target's been pushed back 10 years now. Come on, guys, we need that new KSA pronto!
