CIA study warns oil supplies limited to decades use
A CIA commissioned Rand Corp study led by Richard Nehring estimates the world has a 60 to 90 year oil supply left and will rely heavily on already discovered super-giant fields, chiefly in the Middle East, with increased use of recovery techniques. The report highlights a steep decline in new super-giant discoveries over the past decade and cautions that future reserves will come mainly from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, the USSR, Iraq, Abu Dhabi, and the United States, though U.S. recovery may lag due to historical practices.
