1) Your oil is non-conventional.

Oil is oil. How it's retrieved is irrelevant.

2) As for Russia: "Estimates of proven reserves vary wildly. Most estimates include only Western Siberian reserves, exploited since the 1970s and supplying two-thirds of Russian oil, and not potentially huge reserves elsewhere.
3) Estimates of Russian oil reserves vary in your own source from 60 to 200. So your statement "It's not even close, Canada has at least 3 times as much oil as Russia" is wrong.

The vast majority of estimates put Canada's reserves substantially higher than Russia's.

The generally accepted figure for Russia is 60-70 billion barrels, while Canada's is currently about three times that with far more potential for further barrels as the oil sands technology improves.

The point is, Russia has less oil than Canada -- substantially so.

You seemed to have missed this chart.

Estimates on wiki vary from 60 to 200.

The point is, total Russian oil reserves are not known yet.

But its quality is relevant. And how much $$$ it needs to retrive it, is also relevant.

No it's not, because Oil only needs to be $20-40/barrel for it to be profitable here. What's the price of oil at?

Quality isn't relevant due to the concept of "upgraders". A concept foreign to Russia, no doubt.

The full reserves are known nowhere. The "high end" of the Russian estimates are largely discredited and dismissed, which is why in the actual reputable summaries you see Russia in the 60 range, not 200...

It's not just a birthday thread. Though I had a longest birthday this year. Right now I'm dying because of hangover I have after a yesterday's birthday party. And Asher has an intention to finish me with his freaking digits.

As I see it there:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves

it is in 110-200 range, not 60 (wich is minimal).

You took the minimal estimation for Russia and max est. for Canada. Great. Cheater.

Btw, congrats for beating up Sweden (Nash was superb, he is my favorite in your team). See you in finals (I knew we both will be there). And sure I wait you here in this thread after the final game.

Hockey is gay. Congratulations, Asher managed to gayify your whole country.

You have guys waving their 'sticks' around at each other, beating each other with them, trying to find a 'hole' in another man to fire off a shot with the stick. And what does he do? He jumps on that shot, tries to block it with his 'stick', he'll throw his whole body in the way of that allegorical spoog 'cuz he wants to. And if one side manages to unload into that 'hole', that netting, that anus, if you will, they will jump all over each other, waving their sticks mightily, smacking each other's asses with joyful abandon.

Fags.

Hockey is the less gayish sport ever.

Coal, like Texas, is a relic of the past.

That's a negative. As we run out of Oil the United States will create the Robert Byrd Memorial Coal-to-oil plant, which will once again restore the balance of energy power where it should be.

(The United States).

[Asher]

China is BY FAR a larger coal supplier than the US.
