So the big rigs throb day and night as crewmen drill deep into the continental shelf. They are all racing to tap the same treasure-an undersea source of oil that is far from the dangerous uncertainties of the Middle East and close to the great Japanese market. To make it even more attractive, the oil is "sweet crude," relatively...
