Description: Transcription: Bob Hope This is Bob hope for Texaco. 0:02 I'm gonna show you an underground movie 0:04 like you've never seen before. 0:05 An imaginary drilling trip to show you what Texaco has 0:08 to go through to get you oil. 0:11 Every layer here has a different meaning. 0:14 There may be oil farther down 0:18 when we see dome shape 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. 0:24 Because to get through this hard cap rock, 0:27 we had to change to this expensive, 0:29 diamond studded drill bit. 0:31 Now we're in sandstone where oil often collects. 0:33 Yeah, this looks like the place. 0:36 We reached oil 0:38 (clacking sound) 0:38 You know, it might take Texaco as long as 0:40 a year and a half to drill a real well and 0:42 go down four miles. 0:44 And spend over a million dollars. 0:46 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 on 0:51 costly, unreliable sources of oil from abroad. 0:54 At Texaco, we're working to keep your trust. 0:57
