“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. The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.”
Alfred A. Montapert
“Study is the bane of childhood, the oil of youth, the indulgence of adulthood, and a restorative in old age”

“France and Russia have oil companies and interests in Iraq. They should be told that if they are of assistance in moving Iraq toward decent government, we'll do the best we can to ensure that the new government and American companies work closely with them. If they throw in their lot with Saddam, it will be difficult to the point of impossible to persuade the new Iraqi government to work with them.”
James Woolsey
“The hurricane may end up being a big nothing. If it misses oil facilities or the damage isn't too bad prices will fall further. The only way for OPEC to get out of this mess is to overproduce and broadcast they will pump whatever the market requires, which is what they did.”
