It’s an old joke, but it bears retelling. A bank robber was once asked, “Why do you rob banks?"" His answer: ""Because that's where the money is.” Charles Sternbach reminds us that this brings explorers to the Gulf of Mexico, generally, and the giant and super giant fields of the Gulf, specifically. ""It's where the global resources are,” he said. And just like banks, these fields in the Gulf have stories to tell.
