Three Great Grandchildren—in town from South Carolina— took turns pushing my wheelchair through the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in downtown Dallas.
Dinosaur collection was magnificent, but I spent most of my time looking at the oil and gas videos.
Illustrations explained oil and gas exploration better than my 30-minute television Oil Country show in the 1950s.
Sign said Tom Hunt provided the lessons. Hunt Oil’s contribution was crude oil and natural gas royalties well spent.
Videos help this old man better understand hydraulic fracturing—the recovery method that I first wired a story to Time magazine in the 1950s.
Wish I had seen more explanations about horizontal drilling. In the 1950s an oil company could have been sued for drilling an off-center ‘slant hole’ into a neighbor’s oil reservoir.
