| - | America needs oil | 0:01 |
| and the sea is sitting on vast amounts of it. | 0:04 | |
| To find it, we at Texaco first make scientific surveys. | 0:07 | |
| Where our geologists think there's oil, | 0:11 | |
| we bring out a drilling platform. | 0:13 | |
| From the start, dozens of safety devices | 0:16 | |
| keep an around the clock check on the drilling well | 0:19 | |
| and highly trained men always keep an eye | 0:22 | |
| on the safety devices. | 0:25 | |
| Where their eyes can't see, | 0:27 | |
| TV cameras are watching for them | 0:30 | |
| and sitting on each well are blowout preventers | 0:32 | |
| that can quickly close the well if necessary. | 0:35 | |
| Once the wells are completed, | 0:38 | |
| all the drilling equipment is replaced | 0:39 | |
| with high pressure valves called a Christmas tree. | 0:41 | |
| At Texaco, we do all this so that one day | 0:45 | |
| under water wells producing thousands of barrels | 0:48 | |
| of much needed oil could look like this. | 0:50 | |
| At Texaco, we're working to keep your trust. | 0:55 |
