Speculation about the greed that is happening is that the Saud's are pumping as much as they can right now. And they are infilling the fields with seawater to keep the production of the wells at the high pace.

According to Matt Simmons this is what will crater their fields very fast.

You are right about the greed. But they are ruining the golden goose by making it lay three eggs a day instead of one.

That will cook our goose.

Read Twilight in the Desert. It is very very important if this subject is in your crosshairs........

Matt Simmons is very highly thought of and respected in his field. His argument is airtight as far as I am concerned.

I was postulating that the "peak" in Saudi Arabian and other Arab nations was being over sensationalized to scare the public into accepting higher prices at the pump.

I don't know of any evidence to support this theory, but time will tell. IT would be a lot better for me if this were true since I am 21 years old and I'm not at all looking forward to seeing the economy and industrial lifestyle collapse, but that is what I see happening.
