Description: Transcription: - America needs oil 0:01 and the sea is sitting on vast amounts of it. 0:04 To find it, we at Texaco first make scientific surveys. 0:07 Where our geologists think there's oil, 0:11 we bring out a drilling platform. 0:13 From the start, dozens of safety devices 0:16 keep an around the clock check on the drilling well 0:19 and highly trained men always keep an eye 0:22 on the safety devices. 0:25 Where their eyes can't see, 0:27 TV cameras are watching for them 0:30 and sitting on each well are blowout preventers 0:32 that can quickly close the well if necessary. 0:35 Once the wells are completed, 0:38 all the drilling equipment is replaced 0:39 with high pressure valves called a Christmas tree. 0:41 At Texaco, we do all this so that one day 0:45 under water wells producing thousands of barrels 0:48 of much needed oil could look like this. 0:50 At Texaco, we're working to keep your trust. 0:55
