... and will resign as an Oil Drum contributor.

There was once an engineer who said: "at the end of the race it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's what you learn that counts".

I make mistakes all the time, so I hope you reconsider those words, acknowledging one's errors and learning from them is what matters. But then again 2 Mb/d....

therefore between the CERA1&2 forecasts and Merans2 is that the former project to UK oil self-sufficiency until 2010 whilst the latter points to rising imports.

On current growth rates CERA's forecasts can only maintain UK self-sufficient for no more than 5 or 6 years.

This is a great post Euan, and the due acknowledgments to Mr. Jackson for his collaboration.

In sympathy, if production reaches 2 Mbpd again I will eat my hat. This is no mean claim for a man living in Edinburgh with winter closing in.
