I agree lord, Current round of exploration wells have been very disappointing .. like going back to the bad old days of 1:20 etc. They claimed new technology would help them find oil and gas BUT after an intial spurt we seem to be falling back.
Traders realise there's better money in the materials sector .. only the brave or stupid ones stay in hydrocarbons .. deerrrr! LOL!
