Gull Island -
 
The big event in that three-year period was in 1977 when an Atlantic Richfield oil executive told him, “We have just drilled into the largest pool of oil in North America—[and] in the world!”

That pool was Gull Island. It was said that there was enough natural gas to supply America for 200 years. But to this day, “not one drop” of that oil has been released to American refineries, Williams said.
 
fact or fiction?

Like minds! I just posted gull island on another thread and was immediately blasted as a conspiratorialist.

I don't give a dam about the conspiratorial aspects of Gull Island, the controversy or any of that shi_.

Just is there oil there or not!! And are 4 major league wells now capped there that could produce lots of oil.That's all I want to know. Screw the rest.

Try coming up with an explanation why Atlantic Richfield would drill into the largest “pool of oil” in the world and then leave it.
