Euan,
What is the total of all the fields you listed above?

I've not added up yet. Need to cross check their views on fields we know about from OECD. It will be interesting to start summing from bottom to see how far up the list you get to get an Urengoy.

Another point I would note here is that Bakhtiari considered Russian gas claims for undeveloped fields to be grossly exaggerated.

On undeveloped fields in particular, see Investor Village CWEI, messages #s 71577, 74013 and 74021, which critically review IHS data on the top 50 gas fields outside North America by reputed reserve volume. See http://www.investorvillage.com/smbd.asp?mb=2234&pt=m

My article "Largely About Access," posted on Energy Bulletin for January 14 also gives reasons for thinking that the global gas peak, at least in terms of availability to end-users, is virtually upon us. See http://www.energybulletin.net/node/47669
