BUYREALOW ;I believe that the Governments of Europe are going to send out some kind of incentive for their oil companies which already posess licenses accross Europe. As far as the North Sea goes the Government of England could stream line their paperwork and let their oil companies get on with their drilling . This Russia thing is really putting pressure on the European governments to become a whole lot more energy independent. The North Sea and green technology is the answer for England . I understand this type of drilling is very time consuming but at the same time the successful wells that are drilled tend to last a very long time. Hopefully, maybe even coming up with a big discovery here or there . What do you think .
