Prospecting proceeds

Hi teahers,

Despite the gulf tragedy, the quest for oil and gas in the most difficult places on the planet is just getting underway. Prospecting proceeds apace in deepwater reserves off the coasts of Ghana and Nigeria, in the depths of the Black Sea, and the tar sands of Venezuelas Orinoco Basin.

Thank you
