Off topic a little.... I heard this find is HUGE on the order of Saudi Arabian fields. So, assuming that other fields exist in deep water... peak oil is delayed by many years. Correct?

Supposedly, the 2nd largest in the world ...

FIRST.... one of the ‘live’ webcams I had a link to, was not live. Matter of fact, it looks just like the one you linked me to. The one I saw wasn’t a ‘cropped’ view and had the digital info showing onscreen. That gave the date and time, which proved it was not ‘live’.

Notice the link you provided, the camera view is ‘cropped’ so you can’t see the date and time stamp. The best ROV LIVE CAM I have seen is the one others have already linked.

It is checking the connections on the TOP KILL machinery, but should eventually return to the site of the leak.

Which still tends to make one suspicious that it wasn’t an accident,....

But time will tell.

What’s the source for your information, other than some whispers from unreliable sources? Published reports claim it to be a 100 million barrel discovery, which is about average for these deep water prospects.
