Today, The Houston Times is reporting the discovery of a "major find" in the petroleum industry. Reports indicate that CK Limited, after extensive survey and study, has located a high grade deposit of oil. This find was kept secret until production facilities could be installed at the site. Production is expected to begin immediately.
A local reporter was able to catch up to the owner, Mr. Howard, after seeing his Prius on the 290. While he has frantically driving north to escape the impact of hurricane Harvey, the Prius just wasn't fast enough to escape the news van. A short interview ensued. Mr. Howard's comments included the following:
"How did I get in the oil business you ask? Good question. I've been making cheap clothing in Mexico for years now. The crazy loons in CA are paying top dollar for this imported junk. I was making so much money, I didn't know what to do with myself. After watching a rerun of Dallas, I thought to myself; hell, making clothing is hard work, this oil business seems easy. Build a derrick and watch the money flow. Plus the chicks are hot. So I planned a trip to the Houston area to do some surveying. While on a dove hunting trip, a ran across some tar oozing from the ground. I called in my people to survey the area, and they couldn't believe the find. I quickly arranged to buy the land from some idiot named Bush. I told him his land was contaminated and he couldn't sell it to me fast enough. He practically gave it way. So to make a short story long, we just finished installing all the extraction equipment and will be bringing the oil well online next week. Time to buy a Stetson and look for a white mansion on a hill. JR, i'm coming for you!"

CK Limited News Story - Sept 10, 2017
It was reported today that the CEO of CK Limited was detained at the Charles de Gaulle Airport. Apparently he was in France to attend a meeting with the his friend, the CEO of ITG Corp. With farm production beginning in the Netherlands, Mr. Howard was bringing samples of his new hybrid "Herb" of superior quality to the ITG Corp for product testing and sampling. Airport security was overhead commenting "I don't know what this guy was thinking. You can't bring 50 pounds of those kind of "Herbs" through a damn airport, especially here in Paris." Not familiar with the local customs, Mr. Howard, reached out to the CEO of ITG for help and guidance. Apparently he specifically requested assistance from ITG's new Public Relations representative, a young corporate lawyer of Asian decent that is quickly making a name for herself in the business community.
With the arrival of said PR spokesperson, things seem to have been handled quickly. It was recommended that Mr. Howard share some samples of his new "Herb" with local officials so they could verify the authenticity of the packaging, "for medical use only". Extremely satisfied with samples provided, the local officials released CK's CEO, and subsequently took the rest of the week off. Possibly related to this story, sales of Doritos and other snack items spiked in the local area.
After his release, the spokesperson for ITG was seen dining with Mr. Howard at a quaint french restaurant, next to his hotel.
It is unclear if the CEO of CK limited will be allowed future entry into France.
