Probably both. One thing that people forget is that oil fields aren't just a gigantic lake of oil sitting underground. Most of the time they are pockets of oil and are traped in the rock. New horizontal drilling techniques link multiple fields with a single well head, reducing the impact on the area as well as reducing the investment that the companies need to make in setting up rigs and drilling down again and again. Win win in my books

There is oil there, but not as much as some would like everyone to believe.
