Significant finds are being made in the transform margin geology offshore all of West Africa. Hyperdynamics Corp reports they have found over 25 drillable prospects offshore The Republic of Guinea and they have just begun their development and interpretation of seismic data. So,while "Peak Oil" supply demand /problem is not solved there is more work to do to get oil flowing as supply continues to decrease worldwide. You did not mention oil offshore West Africa.

As energy expert Vaclav Smil comments on the whole CCS hypothesis; "...capturing and burying just 10 percent of the carbon dioxide emitted over a year from coal-fired plants at current rates would require moving volumes of compressed carbon dioxide greater than the total annual flow of oil worldwide, a massive undertaking requiring decades and trillions of dollars." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/03/weekinreview/03revk.html CCS is in disarray with the apparent canning of the flagship FutureGen project which was meant to showcase this technology.
