Exxon makes major oil discovery in Gulf
By Andrew Restuccia - 06/08/11 02:24 PM ET

Exxon Mobil said Wednesday it has discovered an estimated 700 million barrels of oil equivalent at a deepwater well off the Louisiana coast, a major find that a top House Republican argued should push the administration to speed up offshore permitting.

"This is one of the largest discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico in the last decade,” Exxon Mobil Exploration Company President Steve Greenlee said in a statement.

Exxon Mobil made the discovery after the Interior Department’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) approved an application in March allowing the company to resume exploratory drilling. Drilling at the well was halted in the aftermath of last year’s Gulf of Mexico oil spill...

Naw, but they will a fund Brazil to drill there!

Considering this administration does the exact opposite of what is good for our country, i would say no.

But on the plus side, by the time they can drill, Obama will be out of office.

This is good! It is also good to see the big picture which at best this discovery would provide for 35 days of oil cosumption for the US.

Looks like liberals' tendency to begin raving hysterically at the slightest impediment to their agenda, has not diminished.

In a similar spirit, perhaps we should cut off all food supplies to liberals for a period of one year, starting tomorrow. At best, this would represent only a small percentage of the total amount they would otherwise consume in their lifetimes. So it shouldn't significantly bother them, correct?
:lol:

WTF are you raving about? We use 19.6 million barrels a day. A 700 million barrel discovery is nice but we need a whole lot more of this. How the hell do you see me saying this is bad or screws up liberal agenda? Ohh yeah, response conditioning, works on 4 legged animals too! :laugh:

Just one more well among many that won't get drilled. The media should have used the same type of rhetoric the Dems use when talking about jobs: "700 million barrels of oil saved; more to be saved in the future by exploring and drilling less. Government providing stimulus to the oil industry by restricting exploration and drilling which will create more oil in the future."

The jobs by which the oil is extracted and refined is much more important to have overseas with our extremely low unemployment rate not to mention the trade deficit.
