Reason Returns To Government

And Exxon has no reason to lie to the public do they? Sounds like
pie in the sky to me. Are there any working models of this new process?

Just wondering.

Its actually called seismic imaging, and its not anything new.

Exxon Corp. shot the first 3D seismic survey in its Friendswood field near Houston in 1967. Within five years, Chevron, Texaco, Mobil, Phillips, Amoco, and Unocal were all involved in projects aimed at evaluating 3D seismic imaging.

Source, and a good read on the tech.

Kaleidoscope enables Repsol to locate oil reserves buried some 30,000 feet (10,000 feet of water and then 20,000 more feet of seabed) below the Gulf of Mexico's surface, for example.

ETA: rather then add another post.

This was rushed through last-minute - and I am all for a second look to make sure that whatever land is irreversibly damaged is not really wanted.

Yes, jobs - but the natural land, too. "Bread and Roses" as the old song went.

Irreversible damage is very limited these days, nobody drills better, cleaner, and with less impact then drill companies in the USA.
