Description: Transcription: - This is Bob Hope for Texaco. 0:01 I'm gonna show you an underground movie 0:03 like you've never seen before. 0:05 An imaginary drilling trip to show you 0:07 what Texaco has to go through to get you oil. 0:09 Every layer here has a different meaning. 0:13 There may be oil farther down 0:17 when we see dome shape layers like this. 0:19 Hey, diamonds are a girl's best friend, 0:22 but they can also be a drilling team's best friend 0:24 because to get through this hard cap rock 0:27 we had to change to this expensive 0:29 diamond studded drill bit. 0:30 Now, we're in sandstone where oil often collects. 0:33 Ya, this looks like the place. 0:35 We've reached oil. 0:37 You know, it might take Texaco as long 0:40 as a year and a half to drill a real well 0:41 and go down four miles and spend over a million dollars. 0:43 So you see this, isn't exactly a bargain basement 0:47 but the job has to be done so we can be less dependent 0:50 on costly unreliable sources of oil from abroad. 0:53 Bob At Texaco, We're working to keep your trust. 0:57
