I really enjoyed the part of the video where the geologist shows the chick the pail filled with 99% of water and 1% oil.
This happens even if you don't pump water to boost pressure in the reservoir. As lift the oil, ground water migrates through the rock and, after a few decades, what you end up lifting is just dirty water that contains more sand than oil.
Once youve passed the peak it gets real ugly real fast.
