BIRTH OF AN OIL FIELD 1949 SHELL OIL INDUSTRIAL FILM GEORGE PAL ANIMATION MD74772

I had 42 years in the oil industry around the world, great times and adventures.

[@1978garfield]

Thanks for your hard work. I think of the oil and gas workers every time my heater turns on and whenever I fill up.

Great video. It reminds me of my childhood days in eastern Venezuela. My father and uncles worked for a subsidiary of Gulf Oil Co from the 40's to the 70's. As kids we would ride our bikes to the scrap yard where we played. I remember the different drills well as their teeth would always shine! Company vehicles had dual fuel systems: gasoline and LPG. Gas in the 50's was 8 cents per gallon!!!

[@lukestrawwalker]

Yep Grandpa switched his Ford 8N farm tractors to butane because gasoine was 8 cents a gallon and butane was 4 cents a gallon back then! You burn a little more butane than gasoline because it's less energy dense, BUT it is naturally 110 octane and burns CLEAN so those old tractors lasted 40 years working on the farm!

[@granfabrica]

These old films are surprisingly informative

[@michaelcap9550]

And triggering to Greenies.

[@mjc11a]

Early in my career, I worked as a H2S safety supervisor on drilling and workover rigs. As such, I truly appreciate this upload. Thanks for posting and stay safe.

[@lukestrawwalker]

I watch a flare about a mile away across country from my living room window out here on the farm, flaring off hydrogen sulfide "sour gas" on the fracked wells on this part of the Eagle Ford Shale... If I go sit on the porch I can see about five flares burning night and day flaring off H2S... I pass several of them driving the school bus. Fracking has really opened up the formations around here which were too tight to produce for very long otherwise...

[@thomasgilson6206]

OK, this seals it. Periscope Film officially has the most interesting content on KZbin.

[@mikebrophy]

George Pal's obsession with time, evident in the opening of this film, would again wow us in "The Time Machine" which he directed.

[@ammardhubaiki7283]

Masterpiece!! I enjoyed watching.

[@jessicabendure4249]

My Grandpa took me out to a field one time. I had no idea where we were. I asked him what we were doing out there. My Grandpa said I wanna show you something. I said ok. We got out of his pickup I walked with him the rest of the way into this field. There stood what I thought was an old oil rig. Just how old I was not sure. The rig was made of wood. Stood there in wander. My grandfather must of seen the wheels turning in my head lol. He asked what do you think that is? Nervous I said an oil rig? He said yes. I asked how did they put the pipe in the ground? He said they used 2 horses. I think that's the oldest oil rig I've ever seen in real life. I think it was the only one left standing. I'll never forget that. My grandfather loved what he did

[@andyharman3022]

My paternal grandfather was a farmer and a former lumberman. He was very proud of the work that he had done when he was a lumberjack.

[@JS-oy6nn]

My grandfather was a union pipeline welder he started in the late 40’s. My dad was a 2nd generation pipeline welder along with his brother and over a dozen other family members were all members of the same union. I am a 3rd generation union pipeline welder with over 25 years of service in our local. I really thought I would be able to finish out my career and retire with a smile but it’s definitely Not looking like it. I hope all the blue haired environmentalists and skumbag lawyers are happy because all they have accomplished is putting honest hard working people out of work, they haven’t changed a thing with the energy companies or saved a single frog in the environment. They have endangered hundreds of thousands of kids education’s and futures. Taken food off of our tables so I hope they feel accomplished. I’m hoping this industry has one big BOOM left because me and thousands just like myself are counting on it.

[@rickhunter-wolff]

Oil nostalgia: the first oil well drilling for production was in Patrolia Ontario Canada.....

[@chrism4008]

The first oil well ever was in Poland. He allowed Rockefeller to have all the info for free because "it wouldn't be right to make money off something so incredibly important" or something like that. Its a really poignant quote that speaks our doom

[@andyharman3022]

When was the well drilled in Petrolia, Ontario? (I've been there, by the way.) The first oil well in the USA was 1859, drilled by Edwin Drake in Titusville, PA.

[@HansDunkelberg1]

Among other things, this film is a good illustration of the madness of using a car without an important reason.

[@Skeletors_Closet]

There are multiple patents. A wealthy landowner in my state made his money from a drill bit tip.

[@raylopez99]

@4:40 the deepest oil well is said to be 15 Empire State buildings, around 6.6km in vertical depth and today's deepest oil producing wells, by vertical depth (Bertha Rogers No. 1 (Anardarko basin, Oklahoma, U.S.)) is about 10k meters, so the old timers back then, with their inferior metallurgy compared to today, did very very well indeed (pun intended) to dig such deep wells, dig it?

[@jimmygrant424]

That's about an hour north of me!!

[@HansDunkelberg1]

"They did very well": great, it sounds like some sort of oil speech, in such a sense.

[@1978garfield]

This says it is part 2. Do you have part 1? I wonder what happened to all the miniatures from this film? Maybe they are safe on someone's train layout.

[@Mix3dcutie]

[@earlyriser8998]

this is not far off the technology that i used when i was in college on the early 1970's and my father provided geologic support from the well planning and the drilling to reach the right target

[@earlyriser8998]

and i worked on these type of rigs as a roughneck in the 1970's and the technology was not much different from tripping, to fishing, and well control but with the advent of technology, computers, and new designs drilling changed and has continued to change
