At least they made it out of the well.

They must be in Texas!

And it’s worthless!!!!

Early fracking

They will be oil right now..

Oil’s well that ends well!

Black gold…. Texas tea….

But but…..the dinosaurs aren’t dead yet! What is the oil made of?

Ugh, all that nice water spoiled by that nasty totally useless stuff!

If these guys live with dinosaurs they would be more likely to become oil than to find it.

But but but … does this mean dinosaurs had already been roaming the earth for thousands of years before cavemen were learning to cope with their environment???

Bubbling Crude!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwzaxUF0k18

Well, they will get an oily start on their day.

Oil is not made from dinosaurs. That idea turned out to be a myth. As for this scene of the oil well, is anyone else reminded of James Dean in Giant?

Oh. That crap.

If you haven’t see Texas Across the River you should try to download it. Starred Dean Martin and was a clever little comedy set in the independent country of Texas. The scourge of Texas was this “black water” which killed the cattle if they drank it. From the IMDb:

[last lines]

[an oil gusher erupts from the flag pole hole Lt. Sibley was digging]

Kronk: Every time dig hole, black poison shoot up! Now have to move town.

Don Andrea Baldazar aka Baldy: [disgusted] Texas. Pah!

Sam Hollis: Eh, if it was up to me, I’d give it all back to the Indians.

Iron Jacket (Indian chief): Who wants it?

That oil is freshly made and not so crude.

Appears that they have tapped into the sacred dinosaur burial ground; aka 10W-40…
