Quote from: comrade simba on Jan 18, 2025, 09:43 PMThe western world has a blind eye to the realities of all things Russian. Unexplored and untapped fields in Russian territory never entered the equation. Of course that's also sheepishly glossing over the whole fracking bonanza.The unexplored and untapped in Russia has been assesed the same as the old and tired fields. And that is the real issue with Russia's production, new projects are just trying to keep those old tired fields alive because finding much new stuff has pesky without the help from the people who actually now how. And they want a CUT for helping! How dare the people that know more about producing oil than Russia ever has want a cut!
Chavez wasn't thrilled with the idea either. Look what good it did him.

It's nice to know if our society degenerates into an agrarian backwater I'll always have skilz.Your story is not dissimilar to that of others. Pops was a moderator on peakoil.com for quite some time. Bumped into him on reddit the other day...he gave up when it turned out that personal doom was approaching faster than anything or everything he had been harping on for the past quarter century.
