Back to estimating oil reserves again I see 🤔you base this on your extensive knowledge and experience of oil exploration and drilling worldwide plus an in depth analysis of all the recent seismic survey data compiled I presume SP/TA. 

 

No. Idiot. Based on the estimations of the world leaders in this, BP, OPEC and the Oil and Gas Journal.

 

 

Anyone with half a brain can read these statistics. The easiest source to read is perhaps Wikipedia.

My wife is a social worker and she has 30 cases when she should only have 12. She works in child services as well. Its easy to blame social workers but they are short staffed and underfunded.

Venezuela is home to the world's largest proven oil reserves with an estimated 304 billion barrels.

Why is Donald Trump so interested in Venezuela's oil?

NEWS.SKY.COM

The gig is up - primarily social media has made the world a very small place, if I was 20 something and having difficulties in my home country I’d be over here like a shot! That isn’t to say I think it’s ok, successive governments not trying to control this is madness and regressive, but what do we expect living in a world where facts don’t matter anymore.

I just looked it up Aus does have 300, but in million - the list above is in billion barrels, so a thousand times greater

Maybe a billion across all liquids in AUS, nowhere near 300 billion - ranked 38 in the world.
