Batra Oil Company

We’ve been here at E-50 Industrial Area for quite some time now. Dealing with oil is a messy job, but someone has to do it. The drums come in every morning and we get to work. It gets pretty loud around here with all the trucks moving in and out of the industrial zone. My hands are usually covered in some kind of grease by ten in the morning. We don’t have any fancy office or anything like that. It’s just a practical space where we store the barrels and handle the logistics. Most of the people who come by are truck drivers or other workers from the nearby units. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just sit outside for a bit until it comes back. The weather gets really hot in the summer because of all the metal around, but we manage. We’ve got a small desk in the corner with a lot of papers stacked up. It isn’t very organized, but we know where everything is. The neighbors at the other plots are mostly friendly. We share tea sometimes. It’s just a regular local business trying to get the work done day after day. There’s always another shipment to worry about or a leak to fix. We just keep moving forward. The floor stays stained no matter how much we try to scrub it. That’s just part of being in the oil business in this part of town.
