For those of you interested in oil, below is a link to a major new work by PLATFORM telling the stories of BPs development over recent years. I particularly like the section in Act 1.2 (?) on the 10 days from 8000 ft below the North Sea to 35,000 ft above the atlantic - for me it highlights the urgency of the system.
