Fantastic video as always Drach. Always love your work and thank you for everything you do. As far as major oil production in the 40s I'd like to add that while the Dutch East may have been a top 10 producer, the oil it turned out was among the worst in quality. Even after being refined it had nasty effects on engines over extended period of time. And when only partially refined it had build up that could be dangerous and explosive unless regularly cleaned.

@PalleRasmussen most of it comes from Ian Tolls Pacfic war trilogy. The rest is nothing I can link you to, just things I remember from reading over the years. If anyone has anything else to add, for or against, please do.

@PalleRasmussen i would also add that my father and much of his family has been in the oil business for as long as they can remember. I am from the Texas/Louisiana area. I myself declined to take up the family trade.
