I used to know a few drillers and tool pushers who worked in the Gulf of Siam in the late 70’s and early 80’s I think from Union Oil that told me that because the concession was only to find natural gas that’s all they would look for but sometimes or most the time they told me that oil was everywhere and they would cap it and move on with the secret GPS location in their possession.
