They're calling it sedimentary rock. In the same story, in some versions, the oil in Yucatan, maybe it's Campeche Bay, is said to be coming from rock shattered by a meteorite. That's a standard formula for finding oil in basement rock without having to drill very far, such as the Canadian Shield and Thomas Gold's Swedish experiment, and much of the Russian deep oil. The Vietnamese basement rock is offshore. Apparently the Yucatan oil is coming up close to the surface through basement rock shattered by a meteor, so they didn't have to go down a mile in water and then drill another twenty-five miles in "sedimentary" rock. I don't know what kind of rock the Cubans are having the Chinese drill into. -Bob -Bob Complete archives at http://www.sitbot.net/ Please let us stay on topic and be civil. OM Yahoo!

I can see the scam unfolding now. Noted "researchers" and "geologists" have "discovered" vast new oil reserves in the Gulf of Mexico (close to Cuba and pre-empting Venezuela). "Advanced new technologies" have allowed scientists to develop systems (certainly at great cost to be born by the consumer) which will provide a type of fuel entirely free of pollutants, etc, etc.And the game starts all over again.Only they remain in control of all (real) free-energy systems (EM?) which will be used for profit in mind control and other lethal weapons.These "discoveries are "coincidentally" timed to "pre-empt" Venezuela's oil resources and focus on evil Cuba as the new "hemispheric threat". All this just happens to fall on the 5th anniversary of 9/11 and an upcoming election.Surely we need a "savior" and why not Big Oil?muckblit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]com> wrote: The timing pre-empts the news that Venezuela has surpassed Saudi Arabia as world's biggest oil source.

The timing pre-empts the news that Venezuela has surpassed Saudi Arabia as world's biggest oil source. Rev. Pat Robertson really needed this discovery. And it's in sedimentary rock, so we can continue to believe in fossil fuel, despite Swedish and Canadian and Russian and Vietnamese oil and gas production from basement rock. Maybe the Cubans were planning to have China drill in basement rock. The oil companies actually put it in contracts with exploration scientists that they can't tell people they and the vast majority of their peers don't believe it's fossil fuel. -Bob --- In cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com, "mark urban" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > between what is in the caribbean and alaska, the usa does not need an > ounce of foreign oil to meet its needs. so much geopolitics and > societal control is mixed up in the oil business that it just sickens > me. prudhoe bay is nothing compared to kruparak and gull island. > > do you really think the oil companies just out of the blue discovered > so much oil? no way! they've been sitting on this for years. > > the politics at play is so pathetic that a child can see through it, > yet we just keep lapping this shit up. > > > --- In cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com, "muckblit" muckblit@ wrote: > > > > another article > > > > http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp- > dyn/content/article/2006/09/05/AR200609\ > > 0500275_pf.html > > > > U.S. Oil Reserves Get a Big Boost > > Chevron-Led Team Discovers Billions of Barrels in Gulf of Mexico's > Deep > > Water > > > > By Steven Mufson > > Washington Post Staff Writer > > Wednesday, September 6, 2006; D01 > > > > > > An oil discovery by Chevron Corp. has bolstered prospects that > petroleum > > companies will be able to tap giant reserves that lie far beneath > the > > deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. > > > > Oil analysts and company executives said newly released test results > > from a well 175 miles off the coast of Louisiana indicate that the > oil > > industry will be able to recover well more than 3 billion barrels, > and > > perhaps as much as 15 billion barrels, of oil from a geological area > > known as the lower tertiary trend, making it the biggest addition to > > U.S. petroleum reserves in decades.

[cia-drugs] Re: Biggest US Oil Discovery Since Prudhoe Bay
between what is in the caribbean and alaska, the usa does not need an ounce of foreign oil to meet its needs. so much geopolitics and societal control is mixed up in the oil business that it just sickens me. prudhoe bay is nothing compared to kruparak and gull island. do you really think the oil companies just out of the blue discovered so much oil? no way! they've been sitting on this for years. the politics at play is so pathetic that a child can see through it, yet we just keep lapping this shit up. --- In cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com, "muckblit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > another article > > http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp- dyn/content/article/2006/09/05/AR200609\ > 0500275_pf.html > > U.S. Oil Reserves Get a Big Boost > Chevron-Led Team Discovers Billions of Barrels in Gulf of Mexico's Deep > Water > > By Steven Mufson > Washington Post Staff Writer > Wednesday, September 6, 2006; D01 > > > An oil discovery by Chevron Corp. has bolstered prospects that petroleum > companies will be able to tap giant reserves that lie far beneath the > deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. > > Oil analysts and company executives said newly released test results > from a well 175 miles off the coast of Louisiana indicate that the oil > industry will be able to recover well more than 3 billion barrels, and > perhaps as much as 15 billion barrels, of oil from a geological area > known as the lower tertiary trend, making it the biggest addition to > U.S. petroleum reserves in decades.
