Who Has the Oil?

I came across a link to this very interesting infographic while reading a friend's blog: which countries have what percent of the world's oil reserves? It begs the next question of just how long the world's oil reserves will last at current levels of consumption and just when the day of peak oil will occur. After peak oil, producers will be delivering diminishing quantities of oil as time goes on, and we'll start paying dear prices if we haven't found alternative sources of energy by then.
