Description: Transcription: - This is Bob Hope for Texaco. 0:02 I'm gonna show you an underground movie 0:04 like you've never seen before. 0:06 An imaginary drilling trip to show you what Texaco 0:08 has to go through to get you oil. 0:11 Every layer here has a different meaning. 0:13 There may be oil farther down 0:17 when we see dome shaped layers like this. 0:19 Hey diamonds are a girl's best friend 0:23 but they can also be a drilling team's best friend 0:25 because to get through this hard cap rock, 0:27 we had to change to this expensive 0:29 diamond-studded drill bit. 0:31 Now we're in sandstone where oil often collects. 0:33 This looks like the place. 0:37 We've reached oil. 0:38 You know it might take Texaco 0:40 as long as a year and a half 0:42 to drill a real well and go down four miles 0:43 and spend over a million dollars. 0:46 So you see, this isn't exactly a bargain basement. 0:48 But the job has to be done so we can be less dependent 0:51 on costly unreliable sources of oil from abroad. 0:54 At Texaco, we're working to keep your trust. 0:57
