Black Gold

Peggy pays a neighborly visit to the rig and lays down the law with tool pusher Freddy Moore.

After an exhausting move, the roughnecks finally start drilling�but they immediately have problems.

Nearing the bottom of their first wildcat well, the roughnecks count on Ben to help bring it in.

The roughnecks find themselves deep in something else west Texas is famous for: bad weather.

After grueling weeks, the crew close in on the bottom of the well, and starts feeling the heat.

As the roughnecks work on the new hole, they�re uneasy about promised changes on the rig.

With the first wildcat well a bust, the pressure builds on the rig floor�and between the roughnecks.

After the second hole produced enough to keep Autry in the black, the boys get one more chance.

With the lease on set to expire in just days, the roughnecks have their backs against the wall.
