Shell Halts Alaska Offshore Exploration After Failing to Find Enough Oil - Bloomberg Business

Basically, it's a dry well and your "billions of barrels of oil" didn't exist so they're not going to bother doing any more exploring. They're blaming regulations but if the oil was there they'd drill the crap out of it.

I wouldn't normally bother but the news just came out and jogged my memory of your ridiculous stance and it's just rare to have two people argue something with both people saying "you don't know shit" and then have a definitive result that proves one side right and shows the other side they were full of shit

tldr neener neener.

i'm gonna need to see the original thread so i can sort this out

at the same time, a dud well doesn't mean there isn't billions of barrels of oil there.
according to the article, there were 3 reasons they stopped exploring- this well, the cost of exploration v oil prices, and the monster risk involved combined with the ridiculous regulatory climate of drilling there.
