The Lower Kimmeridge Limestone Bed refers to the rock strata not the place it was found. The well is in the Weald Basin, which is near Gatwick Airport.

The Kimmeredge Limestone Beds are named after the location at which it is visible at the surface.

Confusing as Kimmeridge in Dorset is full of nodding donkeys like the one in the picture

From the profits at 20$ a barrel should be able to extend the car park at Gatwick slightly, or maybe refresh some road markings.

Gatwick wants independence and will claim the oil as there own. Just as soon as it gets to $100 a barrel.

Only those born within the sounds of a 747 will count.

The oil found is at a test well dubbed the Gatwick Gusher in Kimmeridge which is in Dorset

So whats the connection with an onshore exploration licence near Gatwick. apart from a similar name ???

Business Matters"Significant moveable oil" found at Gatwick Gusher

For dear old Freako, this relates to the discovery of oil in the Weald.

Just what we need with the price at $30/barrel.
