To give this discovery a sense of scale: Saudi Arabia, sitting on the largest deposits of oil in the world have 260 billion bbls of proven reserves, or 24% of the world's prior known supply. 200-500 billion bbls could put the US at the front of the oil exporting nations (assuming we don't use it all ourselves first).
