The only thing worrying me is the deep water part. Good for them to find a big gas field though. Maybe they can figure out how to drill the deep part. BP Horizon cut all sorts of safety corners, BTW. Deep-water drilling is a whole different ball game.

50 bcf isn’t newsworthy. Could be a unit mis-translation.
50 billion cubic METERS
Your right. 1.75 tcf is great but not a BIG deal.
