I like how you got down voted for reporting your first hand knowledge.<p>I used to deal with a guy in the oil business. Reselling valves pumps and misc plumbing. Nothing in that business is cheap. Just remembered, Shell? did a drilling project few years ago in northern Canada. Spent $2 billion to drill deep wells into what looked like a large reservoir of oil and it was dry. And that wasn&#x27;t $2 billion in paper funny money, that was $2 billion spent on stuff.
