As I explained below, the denominator you are using in the fraction is the value RIGHT NOW. This value will increase every year. By how much it will increase is the forecast and detailed studies have been done on that in the link I gave you. So common math will tell you that the denominator is not a constant but an exponentially growing number per year and the numerator (total reserve) is constant, hence the outcome is much lesser than 143, or 107.
The actual forecasting outcome is only 40. Read the detailed statistical studies I gave you.
I hope I am clear, else I will explain in more detail

Simply put, annual production will exponentially increase in the coming years but the total reserves are constant. You cannot divide by the annual production THIS YEAR and get a forecast of number of years. After taking into account the growing demand, the number of years is much lesser. Read the studies I gave you.

Are you following what I am trying to explain? All this oil you have listed above will be exhausted in 40 years time. Humanity will have to move on to hydrogen, solar or nuclear energy.

HOW LONG WILL OIL LAST ON EARTH? This article has a summary of studies from all major American and European statistical instutues.

Dude because Muslims take pride in their oil reserves. All I am saying is dont bother, they are temporary, will not be there tomorrow.
And by God, if a muslim Islamic country comes up with a scientific alternative, then I will be the first one to salute it. But if a jew comes up with an alternative(which is the most likely case), then I will have to give him respect as the whole world gives, why should we respect Arabs?

You are doing a mistake. Dont go by the table given there, the column "Reserve Life" that is shown as 100 years or so is calculated as reserves/annual production.
This annual productoin is the number RIGHT NOW. This statistic does not take into account the escalating consumption in the future coming decades. By those forecasts only 40 more years are left. I hope I am clear, else I will explain in more detail.
