Second paragraph:
Het probleem is niet dat de olievoorraden opraken, maar dat de olie niet snel genoeg gewonnen kan worden. Zolang geen nieuwe grote olievoorraden gevonden worden, zijn alleen Saoedi-Arabië, Koeweit en de Arabische Emiraten in staat de olieproductie op te voeren. The problem isn't that oil supplies are running out, but it's because oil can not be extracted fast enough. As long as no new large oil fields are found, only Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates are capable to increase oil production.

The rest of this article centers around the book of Matthew Simons, who concluded that the oil fields in Saudi Arabia are in a deplorable condition and will be unable to keep up with increasing demand. (There's a notion I seem to remember you've flagged repeatedly, although you flagged the entire OPEC.)
The notion that more large oil fields will be found and that tarsands could buffer the shortage is debunked at the end of the article.
