I'm working on an ATL where Gallipoli succeeds, the Ottomans fall, Bulgaria stays out and Romania isn't conquered. It occurred to me that this raises the issue of oil.
I checked online (my library is 500 km away) as far as I could. I found only one reference, this stated that Romania was the CPs only source of oil. Further checking indicates that while there was a pilot coal liquefaction plant under construction in Germany, it wasn't completed until 1919.
So just checking, do the CPs have any domestic sources of oil and how long could they theoretically last without it?
