OIL-GAS

In the oil business, you learn quickly that not every well comes in. You accept uncertainty as part of the equation before you ever turn a drill bit.

Whoever gets the land first, wins. Everything else in this business is secondary.

I have always believed that the greatest risk in this business is not drilling a dry hole. It is failing to lease the land before someone else does.

You have to be a little bit stubborn in this business. A lot of people quit right before they find what they are looking for.
