I searched and was unable to find any data supporting the statement that the petro dollar would be dead.
Only claims with a question mark placed after them.
Rather the opposite, there have never been so much governments dollar reserves as nowadays. Including China.
(billion USD)

Jan 2012 1159.5
Jan 2013 1214.2

The grand total (all worlds governments) shows the same trend.
Oh yea, and all claims seem to origin from those that sell products whose price would likely rise with a dollar downtrend. If they really believed what they claim, they'd hold those products to sell them later at that higher price. But they don't, hehe hehe ...

I think you're onto something. Am I right to say that the petrodollar is the mother of all currencies. If the petrodollar is dead, many countries will go bankrupt before the US. Countries whose currencies are now plummeting and need to import energy will be the first to go bankrupt. If there's no dollars, the only way to trade is using gold so countries with no oil or gas will go bankrupt first.
Of course, before that happens, there will be WWIII because countries with no oil will invade countries with oil.
Biggest losers:
1. Japan
2. India
3. China
4. Turkey
5. Israel
Biggest winners:
1. Russia
2. Venezuela
3. Iran

That 'something' that I'm on, is simply that all those governments clearly cooperate, support that "petrodollar", and vice versa, get support for their currencies.
So invasions, ... no.
Losers, ... no.
Winners, ... no.
Just some speculators misleaded enough to make bad speculative decisions. Read: lose.

As said in other topics: the velocity of the USD monetary balance dropped, not due to less spending but due to a bigger total of the "reserves", namely the Quantitative Easening's that actually were tightenings instead of easenings.
And that is because the excess reserves balance is included in the base balance, causing the formula for the velocity of the base balance money, to drop due to the other side of the equation.
So this is all central-planned. First a boom to bring property into hands of debt makers, then a bust, a crisis, to concern money savers enough to waste (a part) of their savings on concerns that have no ground, are false.
And mission central planning achieved: new dollars don't add to existing, they replace, and existing gets destroyed due to the temporary higher prices speculators paid.
