Even though in my opinion burning hydrocarbons for energy is the antithesis of a sustainable economy, I’ve added RigZone.com to the sidebar so those of you who wish to keep track of what the oil companies are doing have that resource readily available.

If you take a look at it on a daily basis, you won’t miss on the oil field discoveries. If you dig around a bit, the field development tab is a good place to look, you can look at the specifics, how much oil they find, how development is going on a particular field, the estimated production life of that field, etc.
