More on South America

I need to find out some more things about South America. I'm using Brazil as a source of data for a fictional project involving oil exploration in South America. I'm not at particular fan of oil drilling in South America and I have learned quite a bit about the troubles that arise from oil drilling in South America (eg Ecuador's oil pollution fears). Oil seems to cause problems just about everywhere. And that is an incredible understatement.

Anyway, I've given away too much about my task already, let me throw a few more sites at you...

Map of Recoverable Crude Oil Futures (South America) - the map is a bit squished but it provides some good information.
