What is true for Russia is true for others tooFrom an OP article 12/16/21 it laments the fact that Russia is putting so little into exploration and having increasing difficulty keeping existing production levels up. From what I have been reading this is true in a lot of locales and with a lot of operations including in Africa.
Theorhetically, if they are not exploring and we have and have a major discovery our value should rise super dramtacically; but we need more drilling!
