Because the limited capacity >of transport and distribution for import, US now have a NG crises. It isn't clear to me if it's consumption or production. Which is it? There are huge differences in these numbers in the US. For example, our consumption of Oil is roughly 20 million barrels per day (7.3 Billion barrels per year). Our production is roughly 10 million barrels per day (3.65 billion barrels per year, more or less). So, which number are you using in stating this R/P for Oil in the U.S.? That will give me a better idea of what you're saying. > >New discoveries does change the number, but the estimates >of unknown resources varies between 1 to 3 times the known, >between the realistic and most overly optimistic estimates.
