John (the driller formerly known as Dry Hole) Kopcheff is a relentless marketer of his company, which recently significantly increased its US interests (hence the continental American outline on his sticker). The Flour Bluff project in Texas seems to have posted a winner for VicPet and partners Sun Resources and Aurora Oil and Gas.

Kopcheff said the sticker was a light-hearted reaction to those always putting the oil and gas industry in a bad light.
