(NYT93) HOUSTON -- March 2, 2005 -- URBAN-OIL-DRILLING -- "You could say it's a little ugly with that thing right there," said Emma Goston referring to the oil rig in her Houston neighborhood in February 2005. Others say they can live with the noise if the royalty checks start flowing. Oil drilling has long been a more common sight on the arid plains of West Texas, but oil prices topping $50 a barrel are now luring wildcatters to urban areas written off until recently as uneconomical by the energy industry. Small oil companies like Ballard Exploration of Houston are relying on maps from the 1930s and new exploration methods in their attempts to find oil amid this city's unruly sprawl.
