Government allowing oil companies to avoid tens of billions in royalties owed To US Taxpayers while the national deficit grows.---BBB
Dec 1999 crude oil was $22.55 a barrel.
Who is in charge of the amount of those incentives, BBB?
More incentives? Right now, we are in the most protracted oil & gas boom I've seen since becoming associated with the O&G service industry. If the oil is there, and in economically worthwhile formations, it will be drilled with or without incentives.

But what if it is unknown whether oil is in a particular location, Roger? What is the incentive to promote domestic drilling to reduce the dependence on foreign oil?
