Yes. And they’ll use sideways-drilling platforms to do it.

I have been on many drilling platforms, but I have never even heard of a sideways-drilling platform. However, platforms do use directional drilling technology, none of which is capable of that far of a lateral reach.

So, no the Russians will not be taking your oil.

That technology is land based. Not something, I believe, that is done on platforms at sea.

The Russians are known as staunch environmentalists too.
They will drill cleaner, rather than the evil American companies who will pollute. Wonder if they will do Cap and Tax?

This is Vlad Putin flipping off our weak Prez saying “look what I am doing right under your nose”.

The directional drilling that I have done in the past, is only a few thousand feet. Not several miles, which is what it would take.
The reason you will see $4 gas, is because Scumbama is adding taxes each week. Plus they refuse to let us drill, so we will be short on our reserves soon. They are already getting low on natural gas in New Mexico and some power plants.

Stealing America’s oil. I hope the Russians (like the movie) come ashore and grab Charlie Crist, Bill Nelson and Mel Martinez. Take em back to Russia.
