OIL
Saudi Arabia (including half of the Saudi-Kuwaiti "Neutral Zone") contains 264.2 billion barrels of proven oil reserves (more than one-fourth of the world total) and up to 1 trillion barrels of ultimately recoverable oil. Saudi Arabia is the world's leading oil producer and exporter, and its location in the politically volatile Gulf region adds an element of concern for its major customers, including the United States. During the first seven months of 2002, Saudi Arabia produced around 8.1 million bbl/d of oil (including half of the Saudi-Kuwaiti Neutral Zone's 640,000 bbl/d), compared to production capacity of around 10.0-10.5 million bbl/d. In 2001, Saudi oil production averaged about 8.7 million bbl/d, of which about 8.0 million bbl/d was crude oil and 0.7 million bbl/d was natural gas liquids. As of January 1, 2002, Saudi Arabia's official OPEC crude oil production quota was lowered to 7.053 million bbl/d, down sharply from the country's 8.2 million bbl/d quota of February 2001.

ottimo sito... molto ben fatto!
Ma io non ho mai detto che gli USA non sono un cliente dell'Arabia.
Ho detto che Europa e Giappone sono MOLTO piu' legati al petrolio del Golfo, rispetto agli USA. E che in caso di blocco delle forniture possono diversificare meglio dell'Europa![]()
