As a former Oil driller I can tell you the costs of drilling has not risen as fast as the price per barrel their getting by a long shot...Labor will always be availibal here at a reasonable rate...less then 20.00 per hour in most places..

The five years I spent on the North Slope wages fell not rose...They are not getting much more today then we did 20 years ago..
