Remember how Shell's shares plummeted when they were found to have overstated their reserves. The oil companies can afford the best geologists - they are probably right. 2) Tar and oil sands / shales are not viable reserves and, although they are being greedily eyed by post-peak oil barons, there are two big problems: - It is very difficult (thus expensive) to get usable oil from such reserves, which is why Russia and Canada are declaring interests in deep sea arctic oil. - They are very, very dirty in terms of both residue and lifetime emissions. The first company to go all out for oil sands will have destroyed any attempt they have made to appear green. Keith A couple of things worth mentioning here:

Considering that the US dollar has devalued nearly 40% in the past 5 years, that outs it at around $13 a barrel using 1992 US dollars. Middle east oil costs "only" about $6 per barrel to produce. However, with costs of tanker traffic and war costs affecting the middle east, some recent estimates put the deliverd cost of middle east oil at about$10 a barrel. That does not even ionclude the US investment and NATO investment in war in the middle east. If we add that cost factor to the equation the production and delivery cost of a barrel of oil could be very close. Obviously middle east reserves are overstated to some fairly large degree. One school of thought leads that Iran is the likely first producer to run out substantially, in about 10 years. Hence their current interest in Iraq. The US is sorely tempted to strike at Iran, as they fear that with the pressure for them to vacate Iraq, the fear is that Iran will likely fill the void they leave.
