Rev. Lindsay Williams, a Chaplin with executive status on the Prudhoe Bay Pipeline; the largest construction project in history to that time, was present at the discovery of an oil field below Gull Island the size of the Prudhoe Bay pool.

Rev. Lindsay saw the gusher and test results come in and an executive of the oil company at Gull Island told the pastor that there are many pools of oil like that at Prudhoe Bay under Alaska; but that the government won’t let them be touched. The government forced the oil companies to keep quiet or else they’d shut them down with over regulation.
