5/5 small potato in the U. 5 months ago on Google
This
is
an
experience
like
no
others.
What
was
initially
thought
as
a
quick
stop
turned
into
hours
of
visit.
A
replica
of
one
of
the
first
oil
rigs
in
Permian
Basin,
Santa
Rita
#2
sits
next
to
the
museum
parking.
My
visit
began
with
an
introduction
of
how
fossil
fuels
are
formed,
followed
by
how
the
region
thrilled
after
the
discovery
of
oil
reservoirs,
along
with
a
section
that
transports
visitors
back
in
time.
Some
of
the
most
intriguing
exhibits
are
different
earth
layers
collected
from
drilling
activities,
a
variety
of
drilling
heads,
and
how
petroleum
companies
make
the
most
of
a
reservoir.
It
is
a
shame
that
Permian
Basin
was
out-competed
by
the
rise
of
the
demonic
OPEC
in
the
1960s,
of
whom
everyone's
pocket
is
at
the
mercy.
Let's
also
not
forget
how
the
avaricious
giants
are
profited
from
such
establishment.
There
are
also
fascinating
paintings
portraying
the
industry
and
recreated
race
cars
that
you
don't
think
they
would
ever
exist.
