No need for the House of Saud to fret over this one.

Oz has gone so far over the deep end on aboriginal rights, we’ll have perfected the warp drive and nuclear fusion before this every got out of the courts.

“...in a find that could turn the region into a new Saudi Arabia”

Minus the murderous religion aspect, of course.

Hah! I'd love to see the Saudis go back to their nomadic lifestyle. Riding camels and living in tents.

I am sure the ranks of Australian tree-huggers will swell instantaneously with this announcement.

We'll see how level headed Australians are.

This will be Coober Pedy.

The find will need a lot of water infrastructure bought in. Hence the need for a partner.

with the US about to face plant... and our military being cut by epic proportions...

i’m pretty sure they shouldn’t alert the 2+ billion resource hungry people to their north that they have all the oil they need...

Good for Australia! I hope they make the most of it!

Bet China is going to try to get all snuggly with them...

Read about this a week or so ago. Someone gave a link to the company who was suppose to have found this large oil field and their stock prices dived.

Why? Because it's BS...

Doubtful.

Of the 1-3 billion gallons of oil there, less than 10% can be taken out. That's still a lot of petroleum but the price of getting it out of the ground can cancel profits.

I'm going to wait and see what the Texans do. They've been in the "awl bidness" for a long time.

The Saudis are the ones with all the petroleum. Their country was a graveyard of dinosaurs and thus rich with the black gold. Thank goodness the Americans got in there in the 1920's and bought all the petroleum rights.

The rights were sold BACK to the Saudis in the early 1980's and they paid a pretty penny riyal for it.
Since then the King/Prince have been making $1 billion dollars every 2-3 days. I can't fathom that kind of money.
No reason for any Saudi to be nervous.

They could always import them in for that authentic look.

I think the water issue is the main setback to getting the oil out profitably.

However, if oil gets to high enough price, that problem will be overcome.
