Big news from the oil patch
Chevron Corp. and partners Devon Energy Corp. and Norway's Statoil ASA are expected to announce today (WSJ ($) article here and NYT article here) the first successful oil production from a deep-water region in the Gulf of Mexico called the Jack Field that could become the biggest domestic source of oil since the discovery of Alaska's North Slope over 30 years ago.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal ($) is reporting that Paris-based Compagnie Generale de Geophysique has agreed to acquire Houston-based geophysical seismic company Veritas DGC Inc. for about $3.1 billion in cash and stock.
And Clear Thinkers favorite James Hamilton notes a drop in gasoline prices, which is good news. Or is it?
