I find that a bit hard to swallow. While deep water formations are hard to access because of the water they are not dissimilar to formations on land. To me oil either comes from conventional source rocks, or it doesn’t, the water doesn’t effect the oil itself.

If what Deffeyes says is true and oil goes over $300 in a year or two, car culture is dead.

We'll all be riding the bus instead.

Nothing on that graph says anything about conventional oil.
