Santa Barbara Channel, California Oil and Gas from known local oil-gas pools, available to lower gasoline prices, here and now. Also Potential for 20 - 40 million tons LNG per year. Affordable Low C02 Natural Gas For America, Europe and Asia.
Energy is vital in order to create and sustain economic and social development. Our whole economy reflects the relative costs of energy: the cars we drive, the houses we occupy, the kinds of factories we have and the equipment in them. ...If we lost all oil and gas products tomorrow, ...the world would simply collapse. There would be an immense depression beyond anything we saw in the 1930s -- the economy would go back to a primitive state. There would simply not be a functioning society. It would be as if there had been nuclear war, minus the casualties from blast and radiation... In a word, we cannot as a modern society or even a modestly industrial society live without oil and gas. That is, [it is not] a luxury or a narcotic. [It is] a basic necessity of life, as basic as almost any commodity there is. Ben Stein |
Current high gasoline prices and imports of 12 million barrels per day of foreign oil, are resulting in massive transfers of wealth from the United States to the Middle East, Venezuela, Russia, and others, squeezing out the wealth of all Americans and threatening to completely destroy our economy, if allowed to continue.
Congress is not doing anything to solve the most most urgent problem facing the country in decades. The Arab Oil Embargo only lasted six months. The Congressional Oil Embargo has lasted for decades and endures to this day.
The Company is the manager of ; "THE SANTA BARBARA COMMUNITY PROSPERITY ENERGY PROJECT" ; Cleaner Energy Prosperity, Here not There.
The Santa Barbara OCS-State
petroleum development project would have a daily send-out capacity of 100,000
BBL/day oil-gas. Enough to supply the daily needs of the entire Santa Barbara
County as well as reduce imported oil needs for Southern California.
New technology allows drilling closer to shore without subjecting people to
unsightly oil production platforms. The consortium will place their, above-water
FPSO production structure beyond coastal sightlines, and the FPSO would be tied
to smaller, underwater subsea structures closer to shore by undersea lines.
Nearly 10 billion of the 18 billion barrels of untapped easily-accessible
offshore oil is off the coast of California, according to the Energy Information
Administration. It's critical to reduce the U.S. dependence on oil. But it's
most critical to reduce the U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
Oil production in these local areas for domestic energy would help to reduce
natural oil-seeps pollution and reduce reliance on foreign oil and help stop
America hemorrhaging $600 billion a year, much of it to overseas potentates,
many hostile to Americans. Revenue stream from royalties and taxes would create
strong budget surpluses in Santa Barbara County, as well as enable the
California State Treasury to reverse the minimum wage it is now paying all of
its staff.
In Santa Barbara, The natural oil and gas seeps release more than 40 metric tons
of reactive organic compounds (ROC) into the air every day. In the Air Pollution
Control District (APCD) of Santa Barbara County 2007 Clean Air Plan, the ROC
from these natural oil and gas seeps are identified as the greatest source of
air pollution in the county significantly contributing to the formation of smog.
The offshore natural seeps contribute approximately 6,075 tons per year of ROC
to Santa Barbara’s air pollution - All transportation vehicles contribute
about only 4,000 tons.
The consortium proposes
to supply Santa Barbara residents with $2.50 gasoline, as well as fund a new
flexi-fuel clean natural gas (CNG) SUV conversion program for all County
residents and later extending to the State.

The Company is also the manager of two large natural gas development projects, which, when developed could each supply up to 20 million tons per year of natural gas, much in the form of LNG, providing up to 10% of the US West Coast States and East Coast States, cleaner low C02 energy needs, along with spot supplies for Asian and Europe markets.
There is an urgent energy emergency facing America today, causing the current recession to deepen. Much of the recessionary causes can be traced back to the high price of energy. The energy crisis negatively impacts every citizen, business, and government entity in the country, as well as world markets. Oil producing countries around the world are nationalizing their oil reserves, increasing export taxes, cutting off needed investment and reducing export production capability in order to supply their own rapidly growing local needs.
Mr. Hayward, CEO of BP recently said that "hundreds of trillions of dollars need to be spent to unlock the world's remaining reserves and other sources of energy necessary to meet demand, which is being led by developing countries, particularly China."
The only possible solution for America is to locate resources which can be developed quickly, without the onerous drag of local (Not in My Backyard) opposition and the many, often slow bureaucracies involved in energy developments inside the US territories.
Each of Blake Ridge and Bering Sea Abyssal properties are estimated to contain 100 trillion cubic ft of recoverable free gas, which is 18 billion barrels of oil equivalent. This is similar to the amount of oil the MMS estimates for the entire US continental shelf (OCS) under moratorium.
Collectively the Company's two super-giant offshore energy projects could be just the answer to America's needs as they can be developed on a fast-track basis and thus help quickly alleviate America’s energy shortfall and so help secure America's energy security. We are proposing that the resources be developed in a "Mini Marshall Plan" manner, each utilizing a mass-produced fleet of 6 or more large floating LNG (FLNG) production vessels.
The growth of global cleaner-energy gas production, will increasingly rely on the development of LNG projects and these will be two of the largest.
Some of the gas reserves the Consortium has under Lease Application falls within the bizarre US Atlantic OCS lease moratorium area.
House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said recently "these deep-sea resources belong to the American people. No other country in the world would even dream of locking away its most abundant energy reserves in an era of record-breaking energy prices. Leave it to this Congress to be this out of touch with the needs and interests of the American people".
74% of the American people agree that with appropriate safeguards to protect the environment, we should drill for oil off America's coasts to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
President Bush and John McCain are both calling for opening up the US continental shelf for immediate exploration and development. This could allow Strategic Nine's Blake Ridge development to proceed more quickly, thus reducing America's reliance on foreign energy supplies, while creating thousands of new local jobs and untold billions of dollars in local taxes. As well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions by utilities switching from coal to cleaner, low C02 gas for power generation.
Oil and gas price speculation takes into account things such as Congresses opposition to drilling anywhere in the US as well as their general disposition against any increase in energy production that would help increase supplies in the near term. Short term, knowing there is more oil and gas on the way will have a cooling effect on prices.
Increased US oil and gas production may not generate enough supply to meet all of America's increased oil demand in the future, but it will help drive down the cost of gasoline, change where the supply comes from, add huge numbers of American jobs, and decrease the risk associate with supplies from unstable countries, Venezuela, Africa, Russia and the Middle East.
There is something immoral about refusing to drill in your own backyard because "it is bad for the environment" while being perfectly willing to buy the oil pulled out of someone else's back yard. We use this product, therefore we should be willing to accept the responsibility to find this product on our own soil and deal with the environmental risks of that process. Oil exploration and production off the coast of Texas has been going on for years, providing a shining example of the safety, effectiveness and limited environmental impact of modern exploration technology. All around the world countries drill offshore without environmental consequences.
GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch
said recently "It is criminal to have our nation held hostage by foreign powers
due to our reliance on oil from the Middle East, Russia and Venezuela,"
Hatch said. "It is fiscally irresponsible to send more than $600 billion each
year to countries that are a lot smarter about energy than we, because they are
willing to develop their own oil resources and we are not." .
Five Republican and five Democratic senators unveiled an $84 billion plan Aug. 1 to expand drilling off Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia along with new incentives for clean cars and electricity.
One Million Americans Petition Congress to Drill for American Oil
Bold steps are needed; If the oil industry could get their heads together now, they could come up with a new promotional strategy for the OCS and ANWAR pointing out that with immediate Blake Ridge and Bering Sea natural gas developments and the addition of oil from Canadian oil sands, ANWAR and moratorium continental shelf areas, North America could become self sufficient within 5-10 years. Additionally, if America was to support United Oil and Gas Consortium's separate Arctic Commons Claim, hydrocarbons energy security could be secured for 100 years. Just the fact that the world knew it was doing something positive about it would help to lower international prices in the short term.
The is at least at least 18 billion barrels within reach of our shores. No wonder the Saudis are considering stepping up their oil production -- they had better sell to us while they still have a customer. Once we tap our offshore reserves, in 10 years we will not need their oil. By tapping Blake Ridge, Bering Abyssal, ANWR and other domestic sources, we could actually wean ourselves off of OPEC altogether.
1) Bering Sea Abyssal Commons Natural Gas Project
Thousands of Trillions of cubic feet of natural gas and possibly, billions of barrels of deep oil resources.
2) Blake Ridge Natural Gas Project
Significant clean free gas reserves (1,000+Tcf. free gas with 100+Tcf probable recoverable) and associated overlying lower concentration Hydrates (1,000 - 1,300Tcf) are known to be locked beneath the seafloor under large areas within the Blake Ridge-Carolina Rise region.
Why operate in International Waters? Its the last bastion of free enterprise: Just ask any ship owner, cruise line operator, or deep sea fishing company who enjoys the Freedom of the Seas today; No hindrances, No taxes, no corrupt bureaucrats, no-one can expropriate your assets, less onerous regulations and no permitting delays. See; Discussion on UNCLOS.
Untold billions of dollars of capital equipment operates in the world's ocean, safely beyond the clutches of despots and all too often, corrupt government officials.
Fleets of the 20th century caught fish to feed the world Oceanic fleets of the 21st century will harvest oil and gas from beneath the world's oceans in international waters.
