BP Makes Big Oil Discovery In Gulf Of Mexico

September 2, 2009 · Filed Under Energy 

From the AP:

BP PLC said Wednesday that it had made a "giant" oil discovery in the Gulf of Mexico but had not yet determined the size and commercial potential of the find.

The well, in Keathley Canyon block 102 about 250 miles (400 kms) southeast of Houston, is in 4,132 feet (1,259 meters) of water, the company said.

The Tiber well was drilled to a total depth of 35,055 feet (10,685 meters), making it one of the deepest wells ever drilled by the oil and gas industry, BP said.

I happen to live in Houston, and unlike the fools in California we like our drilling. Since we provide most of the country with energy, I think we should cut California off until they pull their weight. There are billions of barrels of oil off the coast of California, but eco-extremists and global warming nuts are keeping it from being drilled.
