Maybe a total cumulative counter - or maybe a count-down timer would be more impressive. Just set it up so the total proven reserves can be changed as 'newer' data comes in
Along these lines, I always thought it would be cool to build a computer model that would simply allow data from millions of individual wells to be input and then sum their estimated future production as a function of time. Might be a fun project if there was any way to get the data to load into it.

True. Plus we won't be consuming the same amount for 29.7 years and then run out, so it's somewhat misleading. _________________ "If you are a real seeker after truth, it's necessary that at least once in your life you doubt all things as far as possible"-Rene Descartes
