Oil News Gulf Of Mexico
From the Gulf of Mexico oil spill appears to be 'Clearing Up' No Holds Barred mean demand for drilling?
Latest reports indicate that the Gulf of Mexico appears to be "clear up" faster than expected. Does this mean that the Republican Party demand tough all the way around the indiscriminate drilling? Ending with all safety standards and have in it? Called conservatives will to wag their collective finger and say, "all you are alarmists like Al Gore "and demand that BP fully exonerated and give tax breaks to big resume drilling? Will the alleged" clean Gulf signal "a demand for deeper drilling more dangerous?" This puts pressure on states like California to open its shores the wildest most irresponsible drilling yet known?
Unfortunately, I think so. Even if the microbes bit of cooking oil were not working overtime, I still think that the disaster had fallen off the map. Americans are easily bored and want to move to the next big story. It is people directly affected by this that really have to live with it. Here's an idea … let's put oil eating microbes responsible for BP.

BP is "Giant" Oil Search in the Gulf of Mexico?
No http://finance.yahoo.com/news/article/107659/bp-makes-giant-oil-find-in-gulf-of-mexico This sound like good news, it could help us achieve energy independence and keep the price of oil down? There is possible that three billion barrels of oil in one place.
This is all related to subsalt formations. The Gulf of Mexico large sections of salt. Traditionally, we have never been able to "see" the salt, because the behavior similar to that of a liquid to distort sound waves through the salt. In the past, it suffices to assume that there was nothing because I could not see anything but one day decided to drill anyway and are new to the oil. Now we realize that just because we do not see this does not mean that is not there. Efforts are being made more and more computers with sound sources and the receiver are far to try to see beneath the sheets side (we are talking about trying look under the leaves of salt in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Africa) and almost anything you can think of looking through salt (usually called migration time timer that basically means deeper than we have done so far). Meanwhile, estimates of oil reserves are under the leaves vary greatly. It is possible that huge oil reserves lie under the sheets, but also is likely that the estimates are inflated artificially in order to attract investment. These sheets are available in many coastal areas, such as "discovery" of the coast of Rio de Janeiro and the "discovery" of the east coast of Canada, which are estimated at more fields in the Middle East oil. All I know is that is not oil that we had not encountered before.
