One of the deepest offshore oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico lies beneath 7,000 feet of water and under more than 20,000 feet of rock and sand. Operated by Chevron, it is less than 20 miles west of the unstoppable Deepwater Horizon blowout. And the name of the field and the rig anchored above it is Blind Faith.
