Commentators have pointed to the Jack 2 deep water test well in the Gulf of Mexico, announced 5 September 2006,[107] as evidence that there is no imminent peak in global oil production. According to one estimate, the field could account for up to 11% of U.S. production within seven years.[108] However, even though oil discoveries are expected after the peak oil of production is reached,[109] the new reserves of oil will be harder to find and extract. The Jack 2 field, for instance, is more than 20,000 feet (6,100 m) under the sea floor in 7,000 feet (2,100 m) of water, requiring 8.5 kilometers (5.3 mi) of pipe to reach. Additionally, even the maximum estimate of 15 billion barrels (2.4×109 m3) represents slightly less than 2 years of U.S. consumption at present levels.[110] Production began in December 2014 and is expected to ramp up to 94,000 b/d of crude and 21 MMcfd of gas by 2020.

Now as the young generation go to mobile apps and abandon this platform that means even less screen space available for lengthy essays. Am I just a luddite or is this just a continuing dumbing down trend?
