I think you're on the right track when you contemplate going fishing this time around......

If you will read my post as you would if you were to be examined in respect to content... I believe I said they have the second highest proven reserves. Not shipments of product. The point of course was to suggest other than that potential for our use we have little if anything to crow about. I will check my post for errors. Note Richyrich read it correctly !

P.S. A new well in Canada has just put them in second place !
