Well this should throw a little oily spice....BAM!.... on our commodities salad.

The US fears that Saudi Arabia, the world's largest crude oil exporter, may not have enough reserves to prevent oil prices escalating, confidential cables from its embassy in Riyadh show.

The cables, released by WikiLeaks, urge Washington to take seriously a warning from a senior Saudi government oil executive that the kingdom's crude oil reserves may have been overstated by as much as 300bn barrels – nearly 40%.

It's very nice to increase production form 4.9 to 5.5 million bpd in 18 months. A big price increase always does that. It's just not a very big deal when total consumption is 20 million bpd or in other words 3.8% of 25% doesn't really matter. Despite the rantings of the drill everywhere crowd there is no way to more than triple US oil production.
