I think proven Alaskan reserves are under 5 billion barrels.
Your list leaves off Canada, with 2005 production just under Venezuela. Alberta alone reports over 170 billion barrels of proven reserves at current recovery rates. The ultimate potential is reported over 300 billion barrels. Keep it quiet, or the next version of Operation Freedom may be headed north.
