Man Strikes Oil at Home
Remember Jed Clampett? One day he was shooting at some food, and up through the ground came a-bubbling crude. Well, Steve Jordan ’s story is not exactly The Beverly Hillbillies but Steve Jordan did strike oil in his own back yard - literally.
Steve was sure there was oil on his property and he decided to drill for it. The drilling started in the front yard, went under the house, the swimming pool and a river that runs behind the house. But strike oil he did and now he pulls 20 barrels a day of what is extraordinarily high grade oil. Steve expects the well will produce enough to triple his million dollar investment.
Steve learned the oil business from his father and has dug a few dry wells in his time. The average citizen doesn’t have the money to start drilling for oil at home, even if he thought it was there. But still, it’s a nice dream - to have an oil well in your own back yard.
