Breathing new life into old oil wells
In a snow-covered field two miles northwest of Peabody, a crew is trying to bring a nearly dead oil field back to life. The crew is using advanced horizontal drilling technology to bore a hole that will become horizontal at 2,850 feet and run 1,900 feet through subterranean rock five to 10 feet high. Rarely does drilling in Kansas have to be so precise and expensive. (Video by Bo Rader)
