Thanks for the map. For some reason, I thought that there was recoverable oil just East of the boundary.

There probably is, but it is believed to be spread out for quite a ways. BP's development of Liberty includes developing new drill rig to reach out 8 miles (I believe the rig is already done).

Extended reach drilling is pretty interesting. I sat in on a drilling/sub-surface presentation not too long ago. Really neat stuff, and their imaging and graphics are incredible.
