Oil Reserves in the U.S. Upped

Nobody is claiming that the new oil is easy, but it's there, and it isn't just the Gulf, there are the Kitchens, and about another 60 fields awaiting exploitation in the northern continent not subject to hurricanes.

Why do you always look at only one field at a time, the Jack field is one, add the rest and oil production becomes the 3.8 million need barrels very easily.

Now how about the rest of the world, field are coming in at a rate each month that make up for the shortage plus growth, the restraining fact today is that rigs are at 100% usage, and that we and the rest of the world are turning them out as fast as possible to bring in the new field.

If we had a decent energy policy we could have found and exploited this;

Mexico discovers 'huge' oil field

Thunder Horse, Thunder Horse 2, Thunder Horse North, 250,000b/d in production.

Horn Mountain, 65,000 barrels of oil and 68 million cubic feet of gas per day .

Eugene Island, 15,000 barrels a day.

Shenzi 350 million and 400 million boe.

Coming up are the The Great White, Tobago and Silvertip.

The real kick in the ass though is the fact that China is going to be drilling off the coast of Florida, in the Florida Straights, waters that we should have been drilling 10 years ago.

An absolute lie based on utter ignorance of petroleum geology and a lack of education.

Basic examples of petroleum production from igneous source rocks are White Tiger in Vietnam and Qarn Qaymah 2 in Yemen.

The so-called "Biomakers" in oil are a contaminant. As a matter of fact oil contains abiomarkers called molecular diamondoids. As everyone knows, diamonds can only be formed under extreme pressure and such pressures only exist in one place - the lithospheric mantle.

Another complete lie based upon ignorance of petroleum geology.

The first couple of links you posted refer to oil associated with sedimentary "source rock" .

That is yet more evidence of the "almost universal association of oil with sedimentary rock".

So did you read them ? There has to be some kind of reason you keep posting links that contradict your own assertions. These are the latest of what is becoming dozens.

No dear. The first couple of links I posted refer to oil associated with igneous "source rock." That's what basement rock means - igneous.

I think you need to go back to preschool and learn what crystalline basement rocks are, namely igneous.
