More than 80 years ago, my Dad was drilling in West Texas and had a conversation with a geologist. This was in Wink County on the fringe of the premium basin. The geologist has seen evidence of almost unlimited amounts of hydrocarbons down below, and all that was lacking was the means to get to it.
Your dad saw God’s gift to man, oil.
We have many generations left for us humans to exploit.
Thank you, God.
