How do you come to that conclusion? Suppose, just for example, that you have 1 oil well per square mile, over an area 100x100 miles. Then you have 10,000 oil wells, each one contributing a little bit to the cloud. How do you narrow it down to one source?

Per this (pdf) http://www.google.com/url?url=http:/...wrfrhWHs1x9MiQ
there are actually about 40,000 oil & gas wells in the San Juan Basin.
