DBWI: Saudi Arabia found oil earlier.

So recently as oil prices have fallen due to Saudi Arabia finally bringing the worlds largest oil reserve online.

I was wondering WI the oil was found earlier say around the same time Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Bahrain and the Wmirates found their oil. How would this have changed the geopolitics of the region.

With the USA and EU finally distancing itself from Iran and funnelling billions of dollars into the Saudi Arabia for "infrastructure projects" and helping royal family tighten their control over the country what does the future look like for this once poor nation.

Also with Saudi oil online how does this effect Russia's near monopoly over European oil.
