I thought we did too...in 20 feet of water in the Gulf off the Louisiana coast. A big field, I thought.(?)

Still an importer but they are close to being an exporter, but then again if they have any economic growth they won’t be exporting crude.

This isn't quite the 'peak oil' argument. It's the 'peak cheap oil' argument. The oil find off Brazil is in deep water, and deep water rigs to drill and pump are not cheap.
