Earth's oil supply becomes highly centralized.
OP New
In the year 1800, a century before crude oil becomes a very valuable resource; ROB makes some changes. All petroleum in the world at that time is teleported to the Indochinese Peninsula and doubled:


Potential oil wells will be found all throughout the Indochina region. This is high quality petroleum.

How does the world develop differently now that oil won't be an accessible resource early on? What will petrostates do differently? What would the development of this region look like? How many wars will be fought over the oil?
