Well it is a natural resource. However, oil isn't just "pumped
out of the ground" here, it's pumped off the weather harsh
conditions on the continental shelf at depths of up to 1000ft.
It requires unique technology and huge investments to build and
maintain the collossus production platforms and to transport
the oil and gas to its customers on the European continent.
