super driller stock

super driller stockAnyone knows which stock is the message below talking about ? Be Among the First to Learn About the Technology That's Single Handedly Keeping the Oil Industry Afloat... The amount of oil underneath the deepest regions of the sea is nothing new. But, due to a lack of sufficient infrastructure, deep-sea drilling has always been very challenging... Back in the 1970s deep-sea drilling meant 200 feet below the ocean's floor. Today those depths can reach up to 12,000 feet. You can imagine the complications this causes. A high profile investigative journalist recently proclaimed: 'Drilling in the extreme temperatures and pressures beneath the ocean presents myriad technical challenges. For example, oil hot from the earth's core can become so cold upon reaching the sea bed that it can't move through pumps.' One of the other problems deep-sea oil drillers have faced is finding the oil in the first place. But since the 1960s, oil companies have spent hundreds of millions on deep-sea exploration and now 1.3 trillion secret barrels of oil have been located off the coasts of India, China and Africa, and in the British North Sea. However, it just wasn't cost effective to go down and get the oil. That's until this company's technological innovations made it cheaper, faster, and safer to tap this underwater oil reserve the size of the Persian Gulf. You see, as drill bits bear down beneath two miles of seawater and two more miles of rock to locate the oil, the gas bubbles they encounter pack the power of a high powered bomb. Veterans of this deep-sea drilling say that a gas bubble the size of a ping pong ball at the bottom of one of these wells can expand to the size of a small car by the time it reaches the surface. Freed from beneath the sea for the first time in a million-years, the gas decompresses violently in the underwater well's casing and riser, which serves as the protective shell of the well in the rock and ocean. At the top of the well, high above the drilling ship's "moon pool" (or work area), a steel fabrication weighing tens of thousands of pounds takes the shock of what oilmen call a "kick' rocking the rig like an explosion hit it. In addition, extremely cold temperatures can cause wax to build-up in oil retrieval lines causing lines to get backed up and preventing oil from making the long trip back to the water's surface. That is - until this company solved the problem. "Advanced technology also allows development of resources that were not previously economically viable, such as deep-sea fields...these new sources of oil and gas will replace production from existing wells as they decline, and help to assure adequate oil and gas supplies to meet world energy needs for the foreseeable future." - The Society of Petroleum Engineers Its ability to provide the infrastructure necessary for oil companies to go deep into the ocean to grab this oil has been nothing short of remarkable. By designing a revolutionary new type of riser tower - - that actually controls the climate temperature inside the lines and keeps it above the levels required to avoid wax build-up - - this company is saving thousands of barrels of oil from getting stuck inside retrieval lines and potentially becoming useless. These new insulated towers are easier and cheaper to build and transport than older models and are set to become the standard for oil companies looking to avoid costly production delays and accidents on the rigs. Obstacles such as these are what have allowed the 1.3 trillion barrels of oil to stay buried beneath the ocean for so many years, and also why this company is so crucial to getting it out. Thanks to their revolutionary drilling technology, this largely unheard of British company is the only one that can assist the oil companies with digging deep enough to reach the hidden reserves and extract it safely. How do I know they're the only ones who possess this technology? Because this company not only perfected this technology - - they invented it! And they've got 73 patents for their drilling equipment in force in 20 countries, as well as a portfolio of 92 additional technologies under patent application to back it up. What this also means is that, if they were to license the technology to other manufacturers, they'd still be pulling in profits from it! But, for right now, they're taking all the work for themselves and that means owning this company ensures a rising stock price with each new contract they take on. 'The International Energy Agency in Paris estimates that $5 trillion in new spending is needed over the next 30 years to improve exploration and production.' - USA Today While previous oil equipment was shattering under the pressures, halting production and adding immensely to the costs of drilling, this company was busy inventing the technology to eliminate all those problems. It has opened up the floodgates to a new supply of oil that has been barely tapped. The development of this technology hasn't been haphazard either. It's been years in development and testing. And now, it is being unveiled for the entire world to use. And the world is more than ready. In fact, deep-sea oil is the future of the oil industry as a whole, and until this company came around, the future looked mighty bleak. With Their Wells Running Dry, Oil Barons Head Underwater For Their Last Shot At Saving Their Industry... No one outside of the oil producing nations really knows how much oil is left in the world's reserves. And you can be sure that as long as they're collecting $70 a barrel, they're keeping their mouths shut. In the U.S., old oil fields are opening back up. Oil companies have returned to old oil patches that were not producing quality oil anymore out of desperation to reduce our dependency on ultra-expensive foreign oil. The increased use of sulfur reduction technology has made these wells profitable again. But there is a reason oil barons refer to dirty oil as 'sour.' That's because of the sour profit margins that come from it. 'Ultra-deep water [reserves could make up] as much as 45% of oil production capacity in North America by 2010.' - The Wall Street Journal Refining sweet crude oil is much less expensive than its sour cousin mined from U.S. soil. But here's the thing: there's plenty of that sweetness sitting beneath the ocean's floor. That's why we're at the beginning stages of what will soon be a full-fledged shift from land drilling to deep-sea oil drilling. The fact is, there's just so much more oil to be had - - 1.3 trillion barrels worth to be exact - - under the sea that the oil companies will soon be forced to shift their operations off land. Case in point - the country of Girassol, 150km off the coast of Angola. A $2.7 billion drilling project, employing about 1,200 workers, has been operating there since 2001. It's estimated that underneath the waters of Girassol lies 750 million barrels of crude oil. Right now, the project pumps about 200,000 barrels per day out of the water and adjacent coast, and has increased Angola's daily production rate to about 950,000 bpd. And it's due in large part to this small British company I've been telling you about. This company has been a prime catalyst in Girassol's huge output. They've built three of their cutting edge insulated riser towers at the project's sites, and the underwater pipelines are all connected using their special reinforced technology as well. This Girassol project is just one of nearly 35 different oil drilling sites for which this company is providing service and technology. Why are they so in demand? Because they're the only ones that do this sort of work and provide this level of equipment for what is sure to be the next main focus in oil exploration. This Company Stands Alone In A Multi-Billion Dollar Industry - And Your Chance To Own It May Soon Be Gone! Currently about 90% of offshore drilling is conducted within only 1200 feet of the ocean's surface. Just look at the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Mexico. These two leading offshore oil-producing regions are fairly shallow and therefore have extremely limited production potential. Let Wall Street Eat Your Dust... This opportunity is for Individual Investors Only. If the mutual fund industry or any other 'big' money institution got hold of this report, the chance for sizeable gains would be gone within a matter of minutes. That's why it's important that you act quickly and quietly if you plan to take advantage of the information I'm going to share with you in the next few pages. Why the secrecy? Because if word about this situation gets out, we're talking thousands of dollars difference on your investment return. So therefore if you are willing to: Analyze the facts underneath all the hype and hysteria surrounding oil and use this information for profit... Deal with some dirty looks from alternative energy boosters who believe oil should be on its way out and that ethanol or biodiesel fuels should be running our cars... Invest in a company that has already begun building the infrastructure needed to tap into this formerly unreachable 1.3 trillion barrel supply of oil... Put your money into a modestly priced stock, only around $14/share as I write this, that could triple your money in the next 12 months... Then this stock is for you! This is the one company out there that has identified the need for deeper drilling capabilities and has built a leadership position in the deep-sea offshore mining industry. Luckily, the mainstream media's focus on other issues has afforded you with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This boring old, 'lack of infrastructure' story is not going to have anyone tuning into the evening news. That's just the start of it. Oil insiders are not going to go out and quell fears. Sky-high oil prices have made them very wealthy. Chevron CEO David O'Reilly raked in $14 million. And a Sr. VP cashed out of his options in 2005 for over $10 million. ConocoPhilips CEO James Mulva has received $12 million dollars for his work in 2004 and sits on $94 million worth of unexercised stock options. Big oil executives are getting rich by keeping these 1.3 trillion barrels of oil out of the public's eye. But I'm sharing this information with a select few savvy market watchers, including you. And now that you know all about it, the chance to grab 324% on this company by this time next year is very real and very easy to take advantage of. So if you don't have a problem with snatching up cash from price gouging oil execs who are smoking cigars lit with $100 bills while you have to refinance your house to afford gas for a year, then this investment is right up your alley. But time is of the essence... You see, the smart money is already starting to pick up shares of this company. Savvy portfolio managers at prestigious firms like Blackrock, Bear Stearns, and Deutsche Bank have already plowed more than $50 million into this stock. As a matter of fact, this company is so backlogged with equipment orders, it won't even be able to fill all the current orders within the next year! 'Current estimates are that the oil and gas industry will spend some $6 trillion over the next 25 years to meet the future demand for oil and gas.' - The Wall Street Journal By creating these special deep-sea oil rigs that earn more than $200,000 a day in rent and selling its technology along with them, this company is making a fortune. And it's time some of that fortune is passed on to you. I've prepared a report that exclusively details this emerging investment situation, telling you all about this company, it's technology, what price you should get in at, and more... And I'd like to send it to you absolutely free. Breakout Profit Opportunities Like This Don't Need To Be a Rare Occurrence!

While they've been busy doing stories on alternative energies that won't make a difference for at least another 10 years, this company has been doing the work to solve the energy crisis today! That kind of story can't stay under wraps forever, especially when the money-making potential on it is so high. You can be among the first to learn all about this small British company and its exclusive oil drilling technology in your FREE report, 'Uncovering the World's 1.3 Trillion Barrels of Secret Oil'. The patents are in place for this company's technology. They're the only ones that can manufacture, sell and license it. The oil is deep under the sea, waiting to be extracted and sent out to an energy hungry world. The projects have already begun, drilling with this company's help, pulling out hundreds of thousands of barrels per day. Billions more barrels are still to come. With the world's energy landscape quickly changing, the opportunity to make triple-digit gains in such a short time period is becoming very rare. This may be the last chance to do so for the next several years, until alternative energies become a more viable option for consumers and therefore a more profitable investment. If you're doubting that oil is going to continue to rule the world for the foreseeable future, I challenge you to read the free report and learn more on how this company is giving oil a much-needed assist in continuing its dominance. But do so quickly as these early triple-digit gain opportunities won't last long. Soon the whole world will know what you now do... that oil isn't running out, but you just need to know where to look in order to find it... Cordially, Andrew Snyder
