TEHRAN, July 13 (RIA Novosti) - A new large oil deposit with estimated reserves of more than 1 billion barrels of crude has been discovered in Iran, the Iranian oil minister said on Sunday.
Gholamhossein Nozari said the oil field, located in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, is believed to contain 1.1 billion barrels of crude, with recoverable reserves of about 220 million barrels.
Iran ranks fourth in terms of crude reserves after Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait, as well as fourth in terms of oil production after Saudi Arabia, the United States and Russia.
Tehran exports the majority of crude produced in the country.
Iran grossed $70 billion from oil sales over the country's past solar year, which according to the Iranian calendar ran from March 21, 2007 until March 20, 2008, the oil minister earlier said.

just add a cluster of pepper, sear in oil on both sides, and "nuke" in the microwave for 30 years or so for explosive flavor? ;/

you poor blind fools can't see it.
The oil is going to be used to fuel the rockets that are going to carry the nukes to the US in rockets they don't have yet.
but the oil is evil, it may even contain Suddams WMD's and the location of Osama

1,000,000,000 bbl / 85,000,000 bbl/d = approx 12 days global supply
Consider me unimpressed...

I agree. 1 bln barrels isn't much in the big scheme of things. US consumes about 1/2 bln barrels per month, so it's about two months supply.
Some of the figures don't make sense either. IRAN exports 4.5 million barrels a day. At $145 a barrel, that's $238 billion a year not 70.

Insignificant amount of oil according to the environmentalists. The US won't even raise an it. Once Obama is in power, we won't be using oil anymore (smirks)
