Description: Transcription: - Hey, Bob Hope at Signal Hill in California, where 0:01 Texaco is reviving this tired old oil field with water. 0:04 This field had produced more oil 0:07 per acre than any field in the United States. 0:09 But after 47 years, it was down 0:12 to just a few hundred barrels a day. 0:14 So now Texaco's using a secondary recovery method 0:16 to get more oil out. 0:20 This model will give you an idea of 0:22 roughly what happens 4,500 feet below the earth's surface. 0:24 Okay, Mike, let show them. 0:28 Water under great pressure surges through the field. 0:30 It loosens oil that coats the rocks, 0:33 untraps small deposits, and forces it up and out. 0:36 Look! More oil, and we need it. 0:39 By 1980 Texaco hopes to bring up 14,000 barrels a day here. 0:42 So far it's cost over $18 million, 0:47 but we got to find more energy for America here in America. 0:50 At Texaco, we're working to keep your trust. 0:54
