BS, pure BS. The cost to drill from the perimeter would be vastly higher and the value of the oil is still too low to profit from it yet.
Absolutely it does, whether your blinder let you see it or not.
I specified non oil well projects, which have been drilling vastly deeper than normal oil wells, depth comparable to the distances that would be needed.
No wells, but there are indeed drilled holes in that depth range.
Simply the price of oil. You go bonkers and try to get approval to drill the cheap way while the value of the oil isn't enough to justify the cost of the unconventional drilling. As the oil prices go up you get closer to the point where the more expensive route can be profitable.
Yep, chomping for what they can get from tried and true conventional drilling. Oil prices need to be higher to generate interest in accessing the oil through more difficult methods.
You are the joke with your tunnel vision.
Nothing at all silly about having the sense to look at what could be done vs. keep the blinders on looking only at what is currently being done.
What mystery technology do you believe would need to exist? Holes of comparable depths have already been drilled for research.
They go for the low hanging fruit first. when that is exhausted they'll look at the harder to reach spots.
That's the most moronic thing you've said so far. Why would they clamor to try something new and untested, when the process could end up costing
120% of the value of what they extract? When prices go up enough it will start to look attractive.Again, everything you claim is just a matter of the economics, not technological feasibility.
I'm not making up anything.
