They hadn't heard about PO but when I talked about it, strangle they weren't really bothered. They both just shrugged their shouders in a resigned "yup, i getchya" sort of way. I didn't expect that at all.

There are some independent ones like the Petroleum Research Centre but there doesn't seem to be any great leaps being made. Might be interesting to look at a recent copy of the SPE bulletin and try to figure out where the authors work...I suspect a lot of them are at Universities.
What I also find troubling is some fields are doing a lot better than expected, but then, they go and increase the size of the oil field. I am talking about oil fields like Kern field in California.

Go down with pick and shovel and carry the stuff that weeps from the walls out in buckets?
Use slave labor?
