- | How can we produce more oil right here | 0:01 |
in the United States? | 0:03 | |
Well, that's one of today's important energy questions. | 0:05 | |
One answer is to get more oil from existing wells. | 0:08 | |
Naturally, many have become less and less productive | 0:11 | |
through the years, and some too costly | 0:14 | |
to operate efficiently. | 0:16 | |
But Texaco has stepped up its program to recover | 0:17 | |
more oil from these wells. | 0:20 | |
Today, we know more about increasing oil recovery | 0:22 | |
and have better methods to do it. | 0:25 | |
Our efforts have been successful. | 0:27 | |
In one Texas field, production has been increased 50%. | 0:29 | |
In another field in California, | 0:33 | |
recoverable reserves have been tripled | 0:36 | |
by secondary recovery methods. | 0:38 | |
In fact, over one quarter | 0:40 | |
of Texaco's total production today is coming | 0:41 | |
from secondary recovery. | 0:44 | |
That's enough gasoline to run | 0:46 | |
over a half million cars for one year. | 0:48 | |
We're making every effort to find more oil | 0:51 | |
in the United States and produce more of the oil we find. | 0:53 | |
At Texaco we're working to keep your trust. | 0:57 |
