Strange, but kind of true - they pump sea water into the oil field to keep the pressure up and increase the amount they can extractOriginally posted by EternalOptimist View Posttake all the oil out and the water goes into the ole. So sea levels dont rise
Not sure if they could pump enough down there to save East Anglia though

The Arctic is thought to hold some 90bn barrels of untapped oil, equal to Russia's total known reserves, the US Geological Survey (USGS) has claimed.
The USGS says the area has three times as much untapped natural gas as oil.
.....
Exploration companies believe the recent rapid ice melt in the Arctic may make it easier to get reserves out of the region.
