US to Exceed Saudi Arabia in oil production?

I sat on the article for a few weeks, but it still surprises me. I'm not entirely unfamiliar with the energy market and I had no idea the US had this potential for OIL. The Middle East throws oil around like it's water in their home countries (in fact, they burn astronomical amounts of oil to run water desalinization plants) but it's hard to imagine ever seeing that type of oil wealth in the US. Nevertheless, while the IEA is far from infallible they are a fairly well-substantiated source. As the article mentions, such a tidal shift would dramatically alter the face of geopolitics. Any thoughts on the following article?
