RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Interesting review Ebenizer3, very good points and you are so right; all the goobly-gook talk isn't worth a penny if there is no oil - FOUND. And the only way to find oil is drill baby drill!
Lately, with all the latest technology and batteries of so called experts there have been some spectacular busts, like the Total one you mentioned.
And even BP not too long ago wrote off a billion dollars of exploration costs as they came up dry hole after dry hole for over a year based on their "experts" assurances they had found "massive oil". Heck, not even an empty can of motor oil!
