Non-OPEC Production
The U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Agency (EIA) said seven of the world's fifteen largest oil producers are outside of OPEC. As of 2006, those countries were Russia, the United States, China, Mexico, Canada, Norway, and Brazil. Britain had been on the EIA's list as of 2004, but production has continued to decline significantly in the North Sea, said EIA energy analyst Matthew Cline. Overall in 2007, non-OPEC nations produced roughly 48 million bpd, comprising nearly 60 percent of total production for the year.

Yes... and notice how many of those markets are being capped or shut down under the threat of AGW? ... United States, Canada tar sands, not sure about the rest.

I believe they are being shut down to secure future reserves.... --classified national security reasons the MSM would never be told to report to the public openly.

I feel these untapped energy resources will provide the western world and planet with the future reserves once OPEC's reserves are gone.

This is why its important to the western world in moving ahead with the Copenhagen Treaty.

The treaty outlines a global government which tracks and shares resources and the creation of a global standing military who protects the global governments interests.

Call it a 'stake', if you will.... 'a stake in the kind of world order we all would like to see' -Barack Obama


Just my opinion...

one of the highlights and benefits of climate change - moving away from oil and moving towards renewable energy was to see the likes of saudi arabia crumble to dust.

'wiped from the pages of time' or 'wiped from the map'

LOl that was good However I'm leaning towards a total make over of the ME. Lets just get it done and over with. This pussyy footing is tedious. We know more war is coming, lets be pro active hence snag all the goodies now while the U.S. still has an army.

Ok ya I'm being cynical but man it's hard not to be these days and it's getting worse.

Hmmm. I think I am going to open a whale oil factory and demand compensation from the Arabs because they are taking away my business with their petroleum...

some of you guys sound like such ignorant morons, this thread is about how Saudi Arabia wishes to claim compensation, yet somehow people have brought religion and faith into the thread?
yet in America people claim compensation for the most silliest things, i still remember the thread about a few Americans suing an entire country lol.

though i can tell you one thing saudi Arabia has put them selves in a position that economically they can survive and prosper Evan without Oil, the whole region controls are rather large amount of the worlds currency, and can easily be put to good use.

Maybe they should invest their oil profits in renewables rather than solid gold jumbo jets.

don't think a solid gold jet could fly to heavy

My dad worked for Atlantic Richfield(ARCO) and then later another even larger oil company in Alaska, working on the north slope refitting the pipeline with electronic switching equipment and updating the equipment that was there to handle the loads that are coming. He always told me that there was tons more oil available that was not being touched in Alaska(and kind of kept under wraps), and that he always felt that the goal was to bleed the middle east dry of oil(their only power and bargaining chip) and then watch them slide into anarchy and melt into powerlessness once they lose control...

... exactly... they have a stake in the new world.

A compromise... because they know, just like you and I know, that their oil will eventually run dry.
