Saudi Size oil field Claim

[erich]

Dear Folks,

What do ya'll think of the talk of the 6 billion barrel claims of Eden Energy?
They have contracted three wells this fall to 15000 feet on their Noah prospect in Nevada.

Very interesting. I would like to see more major oil strikes outside of the persian region.

Absolutely C1ay, maybe such finds would help diffuse the current tensions in the middle east. Even though there may be other reasons why conflict seems unavoidable in this region, our oil hungry planet could be sustained by additional supplies and it would lessen the overall struggle.

I hope gas prices go down...Before my car died a few weeks ago ( ) I was spending between twenty and forty dollars a week on gas, and now, gas prices are twenty to forty cents more. I work to pay for a car and gas so that I can get to work...it's not worth it

[alxian]

gas prices are like taxes, no business man would endanger revenues by reducing prices.

the only thing we can hope for is an increase in fuel economy via hybrids or full on electric vehicles.

Borealis has an interesting patent on a thermionic car that uses the companies quantum tunneling thermocouples and Chorus motor electric drives. I sent their president, Rodney Cox, the news of this new carbon storage technology using grafite, and asked him about the estimated over all well-to-wheel efficiency.
The Chorus motors produce 300% more torque by overcoming harmonic drag and the Power Chip thermocouples may be up to 80% efficient. This means that with a hydrogen storage system that has an equal energy density to an average gas tank, this car would have a range of 1500 miles!

Wow, 1500 mile range would be more than 3 times the average range for most vehicles today. If and when this technology becomes available, I'll have to get me one of these hydrogen powered autos. Sounds to good to be true!! I wonder how long it will take for the big oil companies to buy up all the patents??

Rodney Cox told me development will be over the next two years. but his sub company WheelTug had good news two weeks ago when Boeing anounced the use of these drives on the nose wheels of their airliners.

Oh, and I found this today, they talking trillions of barrels here ,for the whole structure, because of the thickness of the source rock.
