When I was on ESSOs VLCCs we took oil from Saudi, Iraq and Iran to Texas, it was pumped down dry oil wells etc for Storage and the future.

HI All.
I remember I think it was the 80s and the Queen was visiting Aus they wrote her name in huge letters in oil in Western Aus, haven't seen a sign of wells there since,I believe that shutting them down and waiting until the Arabs run out is the story.

If you find out how to get rid of the 53 in the box , how about doing the same to the bugger in No 10
