That's actually not very much oil.  That will supply the US for about 3 to 4 months.  :(

Here is how oil reserves work.

You can only count it as part of your reserves if you have high likelihood of recovering it with current technology. Technology has increased greatly since 1995. Back in 1995 the oil was unrecoverable therefore was not counted as part of the US reserves. Not surprising at all.

Fort Mac has more unrecoverable oil then the entire middle east. It cant be counted as part of Canada's reserves yet.

This is not some crazy conspiracy. This does not mean no one knew the oil was there before.

This changes nothing.

HTH

Stop being ingenuous, Moose. They were in the US as you well know.

*BREAKING*News out of Portland, Oregon has a gunman opening fire at a drug testing center in Portland, Oregon. Multiple victims. No reports on the ethnicity or religion of the shooter, so you might want to hold back on your (false) outrage.  ::)

there is also the cost of extracting and refining it.  if because of the type of rock it is in, or if the type of oil that comes out of the ground requires extra processing, it costs $200/barrel to produce, its not going to get to market any time soon.

also this article states the Bakken Formation contains 3.65 billion barrels.  Saudi Arabia contains 258 billion, Kuwait 92 billion, Iran 93 billion, Iraq 100 billion, UAE 92 billion.

"technically recoverable" does not mean "economically viable"

hope this helps...
