Hydraulic Oil Well Pump Undergoing Near-Flawless Field Testing

Steve Torok calls attention to this report: "A new hydraulic pump currently undergoing  field tests at Department of Ebergy’s Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center could reduce the operating  cost of high-volume offshore oil wells by 40 percent, adding to America’s oil reserves and energy security by prolonging the life of  mature oil fields. For more details, link to the DOE Fossil Energy Web Site at: http://www.fossil.energy.gov-  RH:California and Florida have offshore oil fields, but pressure from environmentalists prevents their development. Economic pressure will probably force the US to exploit all its oil and gas resources. The idea that sun and wind can make up for our oil shortages seems unrealistic.
