    *Cathles and his team estimate that in a study area of about 9,600 square
    miles off the coast of Louisiana, source rocks a dozen kilometers down have
    generated as much as 184 billion tons of oil and gas — about 1,000 billion barrels
    of oil and gas equivalent. "That's 30 percent more than we humans have
    consumed over the entire petroleum era," Cathles says**

    That's pretty much what I've been hearing from my brother (a formere "senior
    geo-phiz......at Texico....now moved on to bigger and better.....) for
    years.....

    More oil than Saudi Arabia he said.....not to mention the fact that it's
    renewable...(old "dry" wells no longer dry....etc)
