Exploration and drilling costs are running five times what they are in the placid blue of the Persian Gulf. One reason: the treasure is deep. Oilmen must drop their rigging 400 to 600 ft. beneath turbulent waves then drill another 8,000 to 12,000 ft. beneath the sea floor (see diagram). And North Sea weather is worse than bleak.

John Coleman, president of Haverford College and chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, which financed the research, believes that the study has "the potential to shake up the entire educational establishment."
