They ARE desperate... aren't they.
Here's another example of desperation from last year:

San Ardo: Company foresees increase in countyâs crude production

By LARRY PARSONS
Herald Staff Writer

Chevron wants to boost production from its southern Monterey County oil 
field in a big way and build a 58-mile pipeline to help carry the crude 
to its San Francisco Bay refineries.

The oil giant, which now produces about 3,600 barrels a day from San 
Ardo-area wells, wants the pipeline to run from the upper Salinas Valley 
to an existing pipeline near Coalinga in Fresno County.

âOur goal is to get production back to historical production levels,â 
Chevron spokeswoman Carla Musser said Tuesday.

The San Ardo oil field began producing in 1947 and hit a production peak 
of 27,000 barrels a day in 1967, Musser said.

It might be noted that steam injection (and heated casings as well) made 
the UK-Argentina Falklands war a geo-political-economic inevitability, 
and will be responsible for making oil exploration and extraction in 
Arctic and Antarctic waters inevitable as well.
