Tech/Engineering - Geology / estrazione del petrolio
English term or phrase: frase: bugs could likewise end up trampling out the vintage
The one consolation is that Arabia faces a quandary of its own. Once the offshore platform has been deployed in the North Sea, once the humongous crock pot is up and cooking in Alberta, its cost is sunk. The original investors may never recover their capital, but after it has been written off, somebody can go ahead and produce oil very profitably going forward. And capital costs are going to keep falling, because the cost of a tar-sand refinery depends on technology, and technology costs always fall. Bacteria, for example, have already been successfully bioengineered to crack heavy oil molecules to help clean up oil spills, and to mine low-grade copper; bugs could likewise end up trampling out the vintage where the Albertan oil is stored.

i batteri possono altresi' distruggere la produzione
Explanation:
Bugs puo' essere anche tradotto con: "micorbi"/"microorganismi"/o "piccoli insetti", ma dato che nella fase precedente si parlava di bacteria, io manterrei lo stesso formato.
Trampling out viene tradotto dal mio Merriam Webster Dictionary con:
to inflict injury or destruction especially contemptuously or ruthlessly -- usually used with on, over, or upon <trampling on the rights of others>
transitive senses : to crush, injure, or destroy
Vintage e' la "produzione", vedi:
