This post is dedicated to all oil and gas people working on finding and producing the black gold. Have you ever seen it?

This is what the oil looks like, under the microscope, when it comes to the surface through a beautiful oil-bearing sandstone. The excitement of being the first person to see it, after it was buried millions of years, is huge. And, when I show it at people that have never seen it before, the most used word is “Wow!” I hope I gave you a different perspective of what are you working for.
