1. Memorize a map of all the richest oil beds in the country.
2. Memorize the blueprint for an oil derrick.
3. Go back to the 1880s or 90s.
4. Start an oil business with my partner, H.W.
5. Drill in oil rich areas before anyone else.
6. Drink milkshakes.
7. Make a shitload of generational wealth.

I think you guys may not be thinking about an entirely. Like microwave ovens, The technology was discovered in 1945 when they found a melted chocolate bar around their radio wave thingamajigy.... It still took close to 30 years before it actually materialized into anything monetarily speaking.
You could know where the oil is on a map...... But knowing the exact spot, how deep to drill,etc..... AND how would you convince somebody with the ability to drill that you magically know?
You aren't sent back in time with capital to make these things into fruition.
