- | Hey, this is Bob for Texaco Hope. | 0:03 |
You know while Crosby's been squeezing oranges, | 0:05 | |
I've been going places where Texaco is squeezing more oil | 0:08 | |
out of our dwindling supplies. | 0:11 | |
Like Santa Maria, California, | 0:13 | |
where Texaco is getting more oil out than before | 0:14 | |
by heating it with steam. | 0:17 | |
Down a make-believe oil well. | 0:20 | |
Yes, this looks like the place. | 0:22 | |
We've reached oil. | 0:24 | |
It might take Texaco as long as a year and a half | 0:27 | |
to drill a real well | 0:29 | |
and go down four miles and spend over a million dollars. | 0:30 | |
Then I played a round near a big waterhole, | 0:35 | |
a Texaco rig 70 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico, | 0:37 | |
in water 260 feet deep, | 0:40 | |
where drilling can cost up to six times more than on land. | 0:43 | |
The Texaco refinery in Anacortes, Washington, | 0:47 | |
busy 24 hours a day, | 0:50 | |
turning out gasoline and other petroleum products. | 0:51 | |
I saw how Texaco moves its oil around, | 0:54 | |
by ship, pipeline and big babies like this. | 0:57 | |
And I saw Texaco stations run by independent retailers. | 1:01 | |
That can provide you | 1:04 | |
with good gasoline and quality products. | 1:05 | |
Yeah, I've seen Texaco do the whole job, | 1:08 | |
exploration, refining, transportation, and marketing. | 1:10 | |
To get you the oil and gasoline you need when you need it. | 1:13 | |
See you again from somewhere on the road. | 1:17 | |
(helicopter blades whirling) | 1:20 | |
At Texaco, we're working to keep your trust. | 1:21 | |
