Removing oil is going to trigger the wrath of the residents, the military and mother earth. First understand what you are doing before you fiddle with this fault zone. If any drilling is done, it will have to be done more than one hundred miles from the coastline and then, in a sustainable fashion. Do not remove more oil than is being generated.
This is a very dangerous tectonically mobile zone. We live here to appreciate the beauty. Tread lightly. Leave a small foot print. We do not truly own anything. The earth cracks as it moves. We do not need to hasten the process. Short term monetary gains will create a human and economic crisis of gigantic proportions.
