"David Brunell, who owns an excavation company, has discovered seven potential multi-million barrel oil fields at the site which he believes could be "a very, very commercial situation for all people involved"."
Produced circa 60,000 barrels per day, which is piped through/under the New Forrest to Fawley Refinery where it is Re-Piped under the Solent to be loaded onto tank ships and exported.
The Fawley Refinery cannot handle the high quality crude from Wytch Farm, so it is exported and the profit taken whilst in international waters.
Interestingly, Wytch Farm is the second largest consumer of electricity in the South next to Heathrow Airport?
It beggars belief that Poole had a perfectly good power station on top of the oil/gas field whose fuel could have been drawn from under it !?! However, the oil is now exported and the LPG transported by train to Avonmouth !

Um. Yeah. Right.
Why not?
The use of the phrase “Oil BOOM” is somewhat inappropriate;
OIL BOOMS CONTAIN OIL SPILLS !
KIMMERIDGE oil field was discovered in 1959, Jurassic Gravity API 44.0 and produces circa 412 barrels per day.

When was the great Wytch farm oil spill?
Did you read the article?

Oh, hang on, I've just re-read Robs post - a play on words,BOOM -BOOM!
Who is David Brunell? Excavation firm??????BP would have sussed this site's potential before. Give me a break.
It isn't April 1st. What a bunch of rubes to fall for this.

The lunatics are in charge of the asylum.

Oil required refining. You cannot just pipe it straight to a power station.
