Why is so much oil wasted in 1900s prospecting?
I recently watched the film ‘There Will Be Blood’, and it has become one of my favorites. However, there is one thing that annoys me. Why does the derrick shoot oil out at such high speed? Did this happen in real life in the 1900s? If so, why did the Oil Prospector let it go on for so long, wasting so much oil? Surely if it can be stopped, it should be as soon as possible to waste as little ‘Black Gold’ as possible… ?

Did You Hear About The Quick Thinking Texan?
A little prospector wearing clean new shoes walked into a saloon.
A big Texan standing at the bar said to his friend, “Watch me make this dude dance.”
He walked over to the prospector and said, “You’re a foreigner, aren’t you? From the East?”
“You might say that,” said the prospector, “I’m from Boston and I’m here prospecting for gold.”
“Now tell me something,” said the Texan, “Can you dance?”
“No”
“Well I’m going to teach you,” said the Texan. And with that the Texan took out his gun and started shooting at the prospectors feet.
Hopping, skipping, and jumping the little prospector made it to the door shaking like a leaf.
About an hour later the Texan left the saloon. As soon as he stepped outside the door he heard a loud click.
He looked around and there, four feet from his head was the biggest shotgun he had ever seen.
The little prospector said, “Mr. Texan, have you ever kissed a mules a-s-s?”
“No,” said the quick thinking Texan, “but I’ve always wanted to.”
