U.S. sees Saudi oil reserves as overstated: report
LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- U.S. diplomatic cables from 2007 to 2009 made
public by the website Wikileaks say that Saudi Arabia is unable to pump
enough oil to keep prices from rising, according to a Guardian report
Tuesday. Based on views from a senior Saudi government oil executive, the
cables say Saudi Arabia's reserves may be overstated by nearly 40%,
according to the report. The report cites comments attributed to Saudi oil
monopoly Aramco geologist and former exploration chief, Sadad al-Husseini,
that Aramco couldn't reach the 12.5-million-barrel daily capacity needed to
keep prices from rising. The report quoted the cable as saying: "According
to al-Husseini ... it is possible that Saudi reserves are not as bountiful
as sometimes described, and the timeline for their production not as
unrestrained as Aramco and energy optimists would like to portray."
=================================
If it is true, we might see $150 oil again very soon.Hope it is just a buzz
from pumpers. |
