    Oil can only make you wealthy if you use it strictly for your own needs. Selling it will only bring you more money, which you will either spend at home (inflating your currency), or in importing products that you will not be able to make at home. Exporting it will only build infrastructure that will be useless in 41 years. Try to be the last country on earth to run out of oil.
