CBS’s Lesley Stahl takes an inside look into the world of Saudi Aramco, the world leader in crude oil production – there are a lot of political, energy, social and security comments that I’m sure folks will have, but you must check out the GIANT 220 foot screen in the command center. It.is.crazy… The engineers control the drill bit real time, 500 miles away over “instant messaging” as they drill.
