Nice, but with the ‘rats and liberal socialists in power in DC, we’ll never be able to drill it.

Thank you energy companies, utilities and the free market. If it wasn’t for you - I might have frozen to death during the past week.

In other news the Soros funded democrats in Washington banned shallow water drilling and slapped massive new new taxes on Gulf oil.

And in yet other news, democrats gave another $10 billion low cost loan to Soros’ Petrobras to drill for Brasilian oil.

We must sequester this resource forever so as to protect our wetlands. And the endangered snail darting echidnas. And the fuzzy bunnies.

There’s got to be some kind of endangered critter down there that we can use to shut them down.

This is huge news. Unlike the billion dollar deepwater rigs that take years to fabricate, jackup rigs that operate in 20-80 feet of water are plentiful and can quickly moved where they are needed. A lot less planning, infrastructure, and support are required. It's almost the same as land drilling. Also, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama are very pro-drilling.

Two trillion cubic feet of resources, even if mostly natural gas is worth $10 billion dollars. I believe that "offshore" natural gas gets priority in being shipped to the East Coast.

Wouldn’t it make sense for the Fed to actively start selling oil drilling leases to help pay down the debt? </rhetorical?>

When can the Chinese start drilling?

Its so sad that a man has to laugh about it. We got oil all over the place and these freaks in DC dont care one bit if we starve.

is there a map or diagram anywhere that maps the off shore oil wells around the US and the countries to which they belong?

Imagine all the jobs the development of this find would generate,,,,off shore and on. The number of new cars that would be bought, the tax revenue that would be generated. Oh almost forgot, like Kali. we don’t need no stinking revenue.

The well was drilled to 28,263 feet and found a 135-foot column of hydrocarbon-filled sands in the Wilcox section of...

Isn't the temperature down that deep several million degrees F as Algore said on the Conan O’Brien show?

Seriously, how do dead things that were once on the surface of the earth get so deep under the surface? Just askin'.

...at the Davy Jones ultra-deep prospect located on South Marsh Island Block 230 in about 20 feet of water and 10 miles off the Louisiana coast... drilled to 28,263 feet and found a 135-foot column of hydrocarbon-filled sands in the Wilcox section of the Eocene and Paleocene geologic trends... estimated.. 2 trillion cubic feet of resources, rivaling some oil and gas discoveries in the deep water Gulf.
Thanks Free ThinkerNY.
