Oilmen

Oilmen

These great men had a formula for success. Rise early. Work hard. And - most importantly - strike oil. Each episode I read a biography of an oilman. Some loom large and have a shining legacy. Others have been largely forgotten. But what they all did was enable an energy revolution that built our modern world. This is Oilmen.
