Ron,
You misunderstand. The oil industry recently introduced smaller barrels. At 30 gallons per barrel the new ones are smaller easier to transport and come in 19 different shades including environmentally friendly green.
Even Paris hilton was noted saying "those barrels are Hot!"
Rex Tillerson went on air to say " In an attempt to decrease global warming and increase barrels of oil production we were left with only one solution. Researchers overwhelmingly support or private research that each barrel now has 25% less carbon emissions than before. We also reached our goal of 5 MBPD of production as soon as we made the shift." He added that Exxon plans to triple production to 15mbpd by 2011 as research on 10 gallon a barrel, barrels look promising. Assuming enough govt subsidies of course.
Best,
Fireangel
And if one reads the fine print of all this PR mega production, what they are pumping is... water! ;-)
Well...oily water or watery oil perhaps!!
Hah. I will sell you all the seawater that you want for 30$/bbl :-).
If its the larger 42 gallon barrel I will take u up on that
LOL
I think next step is not to go to 10 gallon per barrel, but to go back to 42 gallon per barrel and make the gallons a bit smaller.
