$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AgentR11', 'A')nyone thought about how much fun it would be to CROSS the Southern Ocean with a loaded oil tanker?


Russia routinely uses ice breaker oil tankers in the Arctic, can't see why this would be any different.

why would Russia bother? Those icebreakers haven't produced a drop in the Arctic, why would they bother with a region a thousand times more difficult. The Russian have other problems on their plate such as NATO.


Agreed, the effort isn't worth the reward.
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

How's that shoe leather taste anyhow?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'G')azprom Neft began production at the Prirazlomnoye field in 2013 and reached commercial figures last year, with a total output of roughly 5,000 barrels per day (bpd). With production well number two (of 19) now online, output should reach somewhere between 10,000-15,000 bpd by year’s end.

At the Prirazlomnoye field, the Russian institute Omskneftekhimproekt has begun work on the modernization of the rig’s drilling installations, technological equipment, and safety and telecommunications systems. The primary objectives are to boost production capacity (to ~120,000 bpd) toward 2020 and lay the building blocks for the future development of Russian-sourced platforms.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AdamB', '
')But if there is one thing that we all know, and that is that from such small beginnings, our world was built.

Those are platitudes, not solutions. It would cost $trillions to produce Antarctic oil yet I don't see any NOC, independent, or integrated oil company with money up front.


Once upon a time the development of the Trans Alaskan pipeline was the largest privately funded construction project in the history of our species.

Eyes on the prize...if there is money to be made....capital will find a way to get itself involved.

So sure...why would anyone want expensive Arctic oil anyway, when you can throw some cash at a North Dakota farmer and get it the old fashioned way, an onshore rig, a known accumulation 2 miles down, and some trucks to haul away the oil to the local gathering point. I wouldn't touch Antarctica or Arctic oil when there are tens of billions of barrels of this easy oil to get.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pstarr', '
')They are having trouble in the Arctic. Shell gave out when oil was $50, it won't go back at $30. The Arctic is a piece of cake, with it infrastructure in place. and surrounded by heavily produced oil fields . . . think Norway, Russia. The Antarctic might as well be Saturn. And we might as well be dreaming about space methane lol


No need dreaming about methane when we are just wasting the stuff, letting it bubble up off the sea bed. We really do need to fix this, get it to a power generation facility, and stop this ridiculous waste of precious energy resource.
