"CBS/AP) Results from a deep-water test well in the Gulf of Mexico suggest a new pool of oil and gas that could boost U.S. reserves by as much as 50 percent.
Chevron Corp. on Tuesday estimated the 300-square-mile region where its test well sits could hold between 3 billion and 15 billion barrels of oil and natural gas liquids. Analysts are calling it the most significant domestic discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay more than a generation ago.
It will take many years and tens of billions of dollars to bring the oil to market, but the discovery carries particular importance for the entire industry at a time when Western oil and gas companies are finding fewer opportunities in politically unstable parts of the world, including the Middle East, "

USA:n öljyvarannot ovat noin 21 miljardia barrelia ja vuotuinen kulutus 7 miljardia barrelia.
Eli tuo löytö riittää noin vuoden kulutukseen, paitsi ettei sitä saa pumpattua niin nopeasti ylös.
Hauskaa. :-)
