100 Billion Barrels of Oil in Iraq per U.S. Consultancy IHS
2007-07-18
I put this in the WoT Operations category because we must keep Al Qaeda and terrorists away from the revenue these reserves would produce.

BAGHDAD — Iraqi oil production could double in five years, according to a new study.
The report found that Iraq's oil reserves may be almost twice as much as previously estimated. The study by the U.S. consultancy IHS said another 100 billion barrels of oil reserves could be found in Iraq.

IHS said the estimate would rank Iraq as having the second largest reserves in the world, following Saudi Arabia. Currently, Iran has the second largest oil reserves in the world.

#2  BushCheney McHalliburton had their space alien allies look into the future and see this discovery! That's why they sent in their fascist warmongering Cheney McBushiBurton storm troopers! No blood for oil exploration!

#1   "The new estimate was based on exploration in Iraq's western desert near the border with Jordan. So far, Iraq has reported one commercial discovery in the region."

This quote from the original article is big. It could open the door to an arrangement with the Sunnis in the west.
