I have been searching around for a while for this but I am having trouble finding any actual figures, all I can seem to find is that it is "very high".
So I am wondering, does anyone have any figures of what the electrical conductivity of a carbon nanotube is, a theoretical or estimated answer is fine. I am preferably looking for the answer in $Sm^{-1}$.

The numbers will greatly vary depending on the kind of nanotube. The following are some examples from cursory Google searches.
