re: Laser drilled wells.

Its not going to happen. In order to keep the oil/gas/water from shooting out of the hole out of control (know in the business as a blowout), one needs to keep the borehole stuffed full of a liquid of the appropriate density to maintain downhole hydrostatic pressure. You are not going to vaporize rocks with a laser in this kind of environment. We will continue to keep on grinding away with mechanical bits on the end of a pipe like we have been for the foreseeable future.
