"This conviction of our best minds that little or no oil remains
to be found has continuously handicapped the search for oil.
Unless men can believe that there is more oil to be discovered,
they will not drill for oil. Where oil is found, in the final analysis,
is in the minds of men. The undiscovered oil field exists only as
an idea in the mind of some oil finder.” Wallace Pratt December, 1952
