It's Hubbert's URR incorporated by reference to Pratt's 200 gigabarrels estimate plus the addition of 175 gigabarrels for a total estimate of 375 gigabarrels. Hubbert's Persian Gulf estimate is a spectacular failure.

They are already banned in the COC but if nobody flags them I usually don't see them. Just FYI I do not read every post on this website, I actually have a real world life to experience and do not dedicate that much time to reading here.
