SaltPep,

I think we are more or less on the same page. As you say the development of the field will take many years. I doubt that the peak production will be 2 million bbls/d. Very few fields of this size have achieved this rate in the past. There are only two today. IN thirty years Cantarell produced about 12 billion bbls and achieved a peak production just over 2 million in 2004.

I was making the point that this field will not influence the world peak production at all, as it comes in at the backside of Hubbert's curve.

A peak oil output of 1 million barrels a day at the ultra-deep Tupi field in Brazil's Santos Basin is "not out of reach," the chief financial officer of state-run oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PBR), or Petrobras, said Wednesday.

Cheap Saudi oil can be inflated, sub-salt cannot. There's a huge leeching feeding on the cheap Saudi oil. Subsalt oil will be too expensive, providing nothing for the the parasytes that now live off Saudi cheap oil.
