Another Onshore Oil Field
They were talking yesterday on the radio about the SIngleton oil field, just a few miles north of Goodwood race course in Sussex. This piece in the Daily Mail says that some of the locals don’t even know it’s there!
There is also this web page at the University of Southampton web site showing all the small oil fields in the south of England.
You don’t hear of many problems, so perhaps the US could satisfy its thirst for oil, by driling in more environmentally sensitive areas on shore. There would appear to be less risk, if they follow the English precedent. Incidentally, BP seems to be the operator in a lot of these fields.
