Let's presume that some ASB decides to mess around with the world's petroleum geography in 1858. This is one year before the first oil well is dug. The places with altered oil reserves(use the following site as a reference: https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat.../2178rank.html ) are: 1 South Africa which now has the full oil reserves of our world's saudi arabia. 2 The area of what would become our world's zimbabwe has Iran's oil reserves. 3 Australia which now has Iraq's oil reserves instead of it's OTL reserves. 4 Argentina which now has Kuwait's oil reserves instead of it's OTL oil reserves 5 The Phillippines now has the United Arab emirates' oil reserves. 6 Colombia which now has Venezuela's oil reserves instead of it's otl oil reserves 7 Brazil which now has Libya's oil reserves instead of it's current otl reserves. 8 Cuba which now has Nigeria's oil reserves 9 Ukraine which now has kazachstan's oil reserves 10 Chile which now has Qatar's oil reserves 11 Uruguay which now has Algeria's oil reserves 12 The Dominican republic which has brazil's OTL oil reserves 13 Armenia has Azerbaijan's reserves 14 Iceland has Sudan's reserves 15 Lebanon has India's oil reserves 16 The waters off of Singapore have Oman's oil reserves 17 The (relatively) accesible portions of Danish greenland contain Egypt's oil reserves 18 Jamaica contains Indonesia's oil reserves. 19 Portugal has australia's OTL oil reserves 20 Guyana has Yemen's oil reserves 21 Nicaragua has Malaysia's oil reserves 22 Belize has Syria's oil reserves 23 New Zealand has Argentina's otl oil reserves 24 El Salvador has Gabon's oil reserves 25 Honduras which has Colombia's otl oil reserves 26 Sweden now has the Republic of Congo's oil reserves 27 Ireland now has Chad's oil reserves 28 Spain now has Brunei's oil reserves 29 Barbados which now has Equatorial Guinea's oil reserves 30 Paraguay which now has Turkmenistan's oil reserves 31 Surinam which now has uzbekistan's oil reserves 32 Dominica which now has east timor's oil reserves 33 Cape verde which now has pakistan's oil reserves 34 Sao Taome and principe which now has Tunisia's oil reserves 35 Saint Vincent and the grenadines which now has Ukraine's oil reserves 36 Saint Lucia which now has Turkey's oil reserves 37 Greneda now has Albania's oil reserves 38 Cyprus has the democratic republic of congo's oil reserves 39 Switzerland has Cuba's oil reserves 40 Samoa gets the phillippines oil reserves 41 Tonga gets Chile's oil reserves 42 Nauru gets spain's oil reserves 43 Antigua and Barbuga gets Bahrain's oil reserves 44 Fiji gets Morocco's oil reserves 45 Kiribati gets Mauritania's oil reserves 46 Guinea-bissau gets Suriname's otl oil reserves 47 Liberia gets New Zealand's OTL oil reserves 48 The Bahamas gets Kyrgyzstan's otl oil reserves 49 Haiti gets Bangladesh's oil reserves 50 Vanuatu gets South Africa's otl oil reserves |

Do we assume that sulfur content stays relatively the same? |

I think you're trying to save the West in some form. And it won't work. Dude, look at how much they guzzle oil as is even with blatantly hostile states and populations throughout the third world. Putting it all in US (or at least general western) countries might make things worse without an energy crisis to make people think things may not last forever. They'll keep digging in the ground for more cheap stuff. Now, you can potentially get some interesting changes on the map, and I see you're trying to make South Africa and Rhodesia last longer. Which they will. But I still forsee those places falling eventually to their current forms sooner or later. It's interesting but I'm not seeing huge changes overall. |
