[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4263511, member: 5412"] When my dad was in college right after WWII at OSU, he was told that the known petroleum recourses would dry up by the 1970's. The advances in technology have proven that wrong by a long shot. I was fortunate to work for the Pelton Industries in the mid 70's. The owner Dick Pelton worked in Geophysics at Conoco before leaving to create his own business. He developed the vibrasize technology that used big trucks with pads underneath to shake the ground so geophones could map the layers of the earth that would pinpoint where reserves were located. The company built the electronics that were installed on trucks made by several different companies. That technology has again been improved so that drillers can find even deeper deposits. [/QUOTE]
