They don't have anything to market. The vast majority of oil companies in this country are just like this. They don't have gas stations. They don't sell motor oil.
They are invisible companies that actually develop prospects and then drill them. They deliver the product into a pipeline where somebody pays them for it, and it is then refined or processed by another company who puts their brand name on it.
I have a book on my desk which is a directory of American oil companies. It's not complete, but it is 687 pages long and it's single-spaced. I doubt if most Americans have heard of more than a couple dozen. Those would all fit on one page, easily.
There's nothing secretive about it.
I will grant you that it is entirely possible that Texana Resources is a perfectly legitimate company, run by decent, honorable people. However, in case you haven't noticed, the world is teetering on the edge of World War III. Something like the following has happened: Jim Baker, at either the direct request of GWB [POTUS], or at the indirect request of GWB's father, GHWB [former POTUS], has been sent to the second most populous country on the face of the earth, in an attempt to smooth some ruffled feathers prior to our invasion of Iraq. [Curious that we are allied with Pakistan against India, while India is allied with Iraq against us, but I guess that's the intrigue of which world wars are made.] In the course of his meetings, Baker asks the Indians to write off all of their multi-million dollar investments in Iraq, and also finds the time to mention to them, "Oh, by the way, there's this little outfit in Houston, Texas, you might be interested in. I know it doesn't have a web site, and it's not publicly traded, and no one knows who really owns the thing, but take my word for it, they're a great bunch of guys."
Let me rephrase what I said before: If there is any truth to this WND story, then Jim Baker is walking a fine line between statesmanship and the very worst sort of war profiteering.
