Only in Texas can you find a working oil rig at a truck stop
just yards away from the fuel pumps, it's kind of funny a state so rich in
natural resources this may seem like over kill. In Texas they call crude oil “Black Gold” or “Texas
Tea”, this bring images of J.R. Ewing to mind the old school oil man, ruthless
in nature. The “Texas Oil Boom” or the “Gusher Age” started in the early 20th
century. Texas quickly became one of the
leading oil producers in America,
thus the legend began, the image of bigger than life men who risked their personnel
wealth for the chance to make it big, and that’s how we got the old saying “Everything
is Bigger in Texas”!
