It thus might be said that the world's petroleum industry began with a gurgle instead of a roaring gusher. |
A gusher of cash flow is giving businesses the wherewithal to increase their capital outlays. |
The first gusher of the Kirkuk oilfield was not struck till 1926, after the League of Nations had finally awarded the area to Iraq, not Turkey. |
Oilfields need lots of money invested over a long time, so the industry prizes stable taxes as much as striking a gusher. |
The company just can't seem put a foot wrong as it continues to find gusher after gusher in the northern Indian region of Rajasthan. |
In the years after World War II, prospectors went looking for oil across southeastern Utah, hoping for a gusher. |
