Have our wishes been answered? Scientists have found an oil field which contains 200 times more hydrocarbons than there is water on the whole of the Earth.
Time to wave peak oil goodbye forever … but before you do I should probably inform you of the tiny hiccup in any plan to develop this oil field.
It is around 1,300 light years away.
The scientists work at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, and using the 30m-telescope of the Institute for Radio Astronomy they discovered a vast cloud of hydrocarbons within the Horse Head Nebula galaxy in the Orion constellation.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s already being mined.

And the Obama EPA rushed to finalize anti-outer-space drilling regulations as soon as this was announced.

Cloud of hydrocarbons...a disintegrated planet? The oceans and life now floating in space?

I got a Texas buddy who will pay 1/8 royalty and 6% severance tax to get a lease on this thing. It may take a while to work out but I think he can do it. I'm in for a 3% override on the remaining 87.5% working interest.
Which direction is this field from Texas?
