Piping hot
Upstream, June 6

Talk is deep, but it gets deeper. It is the central topic of conversation if you are in the Gulf of Mexico, awaiting the latest half-dozen or so gigantic production platforms to arrive within the next 18 months to take root in its profound depths.

Technological firsts of all sorts are being made as operators and engineering contractors push the envelope to realise dreams of hydrocarbons. Yet some operators are also going back to the Gulf shallows, digging deeper than ever, to depths below 15,000, 25,000, even 30,000 feet in search of more gas to sate North America's inexorable hunger.

In this 16-page special report Upstream correspondents dive into US Gulf deep water, deep shelf and the technology behind the drive to get there.
