Wildcat

Sharon McGovern, a new graduate with a degree in geology from the University of Houston, is hired by Sanders Oil Company, in Houston, Texas. As with most recently graduated geologists, Sharon is given a project to ease her into the oil industry. She is assigned to review and evaluate a wildcat project Sanders Oil is ready to drill. As she gets into the meat of the evaluation, she finds problems. In a short time, she sees that the prospect is simply not as good as the hype surrounding it. As she digs even deeper, she sees uncovers evidence that the proposed new well is a part of a subtle behind the scenes plot to destroy Sanders Oil. Soon, the people behind the plot come after her, to shut her up. Sharon faces a dilemma. Should she leave the company? That would be the easy way, but that way goes against her basic nature to run from a problem. Against the near overwhelming forces against her, she can't run. She must learn the truth, and if it means saving Sanders Oil as she does, all the better.
