Significant oil find at Gatwick Airport.

The oils not even in Crawley is it ? I thought it was Horse Hill near Horley, That is definitely in Surrey !

We can drill side-ways - they'll never notice.

I've got a claim on it either way having been born in Brighton and now resident in Surrey for the last 9 years.

I won't let it go to my head though. I would not swap WSU for 1901.

if anyone else missed it, the company involved had to downplay the size of the find to the stock market. they had extrapolated estimates from one site to cover the whole Wealden basin, and that's not quite how it works. an academia source estimated 5billion barrels likely, not 100 billion.
