<<I thought there was some expectation that Kazakhistan and some of the Caspian fields were considered lucrative enough to provide an increase in global per day production?>>

THe Caspian has proven to be a big disappointment. Russia will not make much of a difference over the next 10 years. The cold hard truth is that 2/3 of all oil reserves are sitting in SA, Iraq, Iran and around the gulf. Iraq is a do or die issue for the West.
