This drilling is the results of a compromise from 1996. It has been available all this time but now that oil prices are sky rocketing, there is finally interest.

In March, four companies — Australia-based BHP Billiton Petroleum Deepwater Inc., Houston-based Anadarko E&P Co., Shell Offshore Inc. and Italian oil and natural gas company Eni SpA — purchased leases on 36 Gulf of Mexico tracts under the 2006 compromise.
Cuz only one of these companies is even American.
