A recent U.S. Geological Survey assessment of previously undiscovered gas and oil in Texas' Permian Basin has found that there are enough resources there to fuel the entire nation for months.

FX Market Insights | Sponsored The gas and oil, measured in trillions of cubic feet and billions of barrels, are located in the Woodford and Barnett shale, which to date have produced only a day's worth of U.S. oil consumption.
Undiscovered oil in Texas
The assessment found that there are technically recoverable resources of 28.3 trillion cubic feet of gas and 1.6 billion barrels of oil, the USGS said in their Wednesday release.

OUTSTANDING!
WOW! You are finding and posting all kinds of Good News, today. Thanks! :)
Good news if true but I don’t trust AI to be correct.
The Norris family is all over this, just wait you see come season three of Landman! LOL!
And the refineries are close by...a twofer
OK
There were not enough dinosaurs for this much oil.
That old teaching needs to be replaced with something scientifically defensible.
How many seconds will it take for a federal judge to ban it all and destroy all of records of the discovery?
Do you bother to preview before you post?
Nice.
Hope it covers a large area ... 🙏🏻
Insect carcasses. Primarily Ants.
Chitin. It is found in the exoskeletons of insects, crustaceans (shrimp, crabs), arachnids, fungi cell walls, and algae.
I believe it has been shown that oil is being produced by a means that is possibly understood by some, but not all. This has happened before, if I am correct.
The “experts” don’t like the abiotic oil theory. Doesn’t mean it’s wrong, it means they won’t even consider it.

A recent U.S. Geological Survey assessment of previously undiscovered gas and oil in Texas' Permian Basin has found that there are enough resources there to fuel the entire nation for months.
The gas and oil, measured in trillions of cubic feet and billions of barrels, are located in the Woodford and Barnett shale, which to date have produced only a day's worth of U.S. oil consumption.
The assessment found that there are technically recoverable resources of 28.3 trillion cubic feet of gas and 1.6 billion barrels of oil, the USGS said in their Wednesday release.
According to the USGS, that's enough gas to supply the United States for 10 months at the current rate of consumption, and enough oil for 10 weeks.
The Woodford and Barnett shales, which stretch from the Permian Basin to southeastern New Mexico, have produced about 26 million barrels of oil since the late 90s, the USGS said — or enough oil for one day of U.S. consumption.
Due to the depth of these undiscovered deposits, USGS said, it was impossible to get to them before today's more advanced production technologies.
"The U.S. economy and our way of life depend on energy, and USGS oil and gas assessments point to resources that industry hasn’t discovered yet. In this case, we have assessed there are significant undiscovered resources in the Woodford and Barnett shales in the Permian Basin," said Ned Mamula, director of the USGS.

Like Landman. Or his kid, rather. And I guess Season 3.
It makes more sense than the dinosaur theory.
Having said the above, the oil and gas reserves in the New Mexico portion of the Permian Basin are under continual attack by the environmental radicals in Santa Fe and in the NM legislature. This year’s session ended only six hours ago (at noon) and a strict gun ban was narrowly defeated along with a climate change provision (”Clear Horizons”) that would have devastated fossil fuel use in the state, requiring more EV use, putting controls on businesses and new home construction. The radicals mantra “there’s always next year.”
It makes more sense than the dinosaur theory.
