TROPHY CASE


  • Two-Year Club

Another 200 years of oil supply. "USGS estimates the Green River Formation contains 3 trillion barrels of oil and ... 30% to 60% is recoverable. At the midpoint of this estimate about 1.5 trillion barrels of oil would be recoverable -- equal to the entire world’s proven oil reserves." by geezermanin Economics

Oil wells only get around 30% out very often... find the idea of 60% on this kind of field frankly unbelievable. Of course it may be possible given technological advances...but so are minerals from the moon.
