Slant Drilling
The last paragraph states that Slant Drilling was used to drain the Bandy Tract. This was certainly not the case. The case was that a common reservoir was underneath all of the land, and that the oil in the Bandy Tract was drained by Rule of Capture as the other wells produced oil. This is legal. This also suggests that the Bandy Tract was probably central to the reservoir beneath the land, and could have produced the bulk of the oil if drilled at the same time, and thus provided the most capture, and actually drained oil from the fields that Daniel Day-Lewis' character held.

2nd, the final scene was in 1927, and Directional Drilling was not even pioneered as a process (instead of a drilling error/accident) until the 1930's.

Wiki on Directional Drilling: "In 1934, H. John Eastman & Roman W. Hines of Long Beach, California, became pioneers in directional drilling when they and George Failing of Enid, Oklahoma, saved the Conroe, Texas, oil field. Failing had recently patented a portable drilling truck. He had started his company in 1931 when he mated a drilling rig to a truck and a power take-off assembly. The innovation allowed rapid drilling of a series of slanted wells. This capacity to quickly drill multiple relief wells and relieve the enormous gas pressure was critical to extinguishing the Conroe fire.[2] In a May, 1934, Popular Science Monthly article, it was stated that "Only a handful of men in the world have the strange power to make a bit, rotating a mile below ground at the end of a steel drill pipe, snake its way in a curve or around a dog-leg angle, to reach a desired objective." Eastman Whipstock, Inc., would become the world's largest directional company in 1973.[citation needed]"

Commercial success
Was this movie a commercial success given all the costs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.223.71.224 (talk) 06:42, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Synopsis length
The movie is 158 minutes long, there are many scenes and details to include in a proper synopsis. I disagree that the plot synopsis is too long. Critical Chris (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 05:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

”PLOT"　This reads like a book report. Plots are actually a lot simpler than this. A plot can usually be summed up in a few sentences, if not one. I know this is going to come as a shock to some contributors.

Whenever you start adding details, "kills him with a bowling pin", for example, you are listing particulars of the story's implementation, details of the writer or director's vision, often a detail of casting or the art department. These details have nothing at all to do with plot, even if they are in some way symbolic. So we wouldn't have to worry so much about "spoilers" if contributors knew how to write an intelligent plot or synopsis, rather than merely doing a ubiquitous rendition of "Star Wars according to a three year old". --APDEF (talk) 08:55, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
