The U.S. has a new oil field to exploit! It's huge! And it's located just off the coast of Louisiana! Not far from New Orleans! Deep below the floor of the Gulf of Mexico!
This on the heels of another gulf discovery off the shores of the country of Mexico. Maybe all the widespread panic about North America's dependence on foreign oil was premature. Maybe now we can stop talking about hydrogen and oil sands and switch grass. Or maybe not.
Incidentally, among all UMR graduates, petroleum engineers enjoy the highest starting salaries. The average is $75,750 per year and going up.
