Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabian oil company)

**Oberbefehlshaber** · April 15, 2008, 12:23 AM

As of end 2007, its yearly production of only crude oil neared 3.4 billion barrels (540,000,000 m³) and it managed over 100 oil and gas fields in Saudi Arabia alone totaling at least 264 billion barrels and has 22% of the worlds oil. What would happen if major Saudi Arabian oil plants were subject to terrerist attacks do you think the U.N. would crumble and a WW3 so to speak would breakout, (almost every single thing we own they use some kind of fossil fuel to make.)

saudi arabia and the saudi military are very very very well equipped, what we have to fear is if the house of Saud is overthrown because the saudi family has already publically stated that oil was a gift to them from allah, and when they lose power they will destroy the oil fields, its an open threat to the rest of the world or rather a warning.

America would go o rehab get clean, and then use clean energy dooming the economy of the Middle Easy

Not all of us Americans have the luxury to live in Metropolises, many, like me, live in the 1-60,000 area.

**Kiljan Arslan** · April 15, 2008, 04:53 PM

Actually they are (at least for me).

Since my vélo has been stolen, I walk. I suppose we will all walk more.
I have read that recently new oilfields in South America have been found.
Sill, it is not so bad if you have the chance to walk to work.

**Sosobra** · April 16, 2008, 05:48 PM

The price of oil would go up and people would

about it but still drive to work.

At least carbon emissions would decrease...at the cost of modern life as we know it.

But if the oil fields in Saudi Arabia were attacked, how fast do you think they would be repaired? Overnight. I doubt WW3 would break out, the only diffeence would be that more countries would take the war on terror more seriously.
