In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations. Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep.

More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.

The thing about travelling is that you work hard and play hard, but you can do all those things without your parents knowing.
