Btw, 3-4.3 billion barrels equals about six weeks of world consumption.

You are going to need to find 50 fields that large every year in order to pretend we aren't running out of oil.
Six-months of US consumption after development. The US whining for more domestic oil to slow imports resembles a heroin addict looking for a fix in a fundamentalist church.
