That’s ok MN. If you are the young expert, why don’t you come on down here and show us how it is done. You might be suprised to know that oil wells are drilled today exactly like they were 60 years ago. As a matter of fact, there are rigs running today that are at least 30 yrs old.

I suppose the biggest technological breakthru has been directional drilling, computers, 3D seismo, and fracking.

Most yankees do not know squat about how the oil industry works. How it develops fields, the drilling and production processes, gathering, refining. Oh, I forgot, the yankess do know how to make money off the backs of the American consumer by driving up the price of oil on the futures markets.

So that is ok MN, this old fart will still help drill oil wells and provide America with the lifeblood that drives our economy in everything a consumer touches. And I will be very happy when I go to the bank.

That is all.
