The curse of oil continues with more new oil found. Should last at least a fortnight. Oil firms BP and GDF Suez have announced the discovery of a new field in the UK Central North Sea. The find, which spans adjacent blocks operated separately by the two companies, has been flow-tested at a maximum rate of 5,350 barrels per day. The discovery has been called Marconi by GDF Suez subsidiary GDF Suez E&P UK, while BP has named it Vorlich. GDF Suez E&P UK managing director Ruud Zoon described the discovery as encouraging. He said: The discovery is our third successful well this year and demonstrates a continuing commitment by GDF Suez to an active exploration and appraisal drilling programme on the UK Continental Shelf. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-29739085
