Did anyone catch Ali Al-Naimi, the Saudi oil minister and de facto head of the OPEC oil cartel, on 60 minutes last night? If not you can watch both episodes here: Saudi Arabia Bullish On Oil's Future. They gave him two of the three segments. The first is 12:35 minutes long and the second is 11:30 minutes. It is extremely interesting! They will be injecting 84 million gallons of seawater per day into Khurais. That is 2 million barrels per day.

There's some discussion in yesterday's DrumBeat. And there might be a dedicated thread later.

Given the number of people working in that control room, I can't understand why there doesn't seem to be anybody to pay off to get the daily production data out. The most amazing technology Aramco deploys is their information security.

I suggest that this be dissected and perhaps a formal response to 60 Minutes by TOD staff be prepared. Who knows - a letter or an interview might be fortcoming on 60 Minutes.

As WHT said yesterday - it is "cringe worthy".
IMHO,

Pete
