Era of Discovery (1984)

A 1984 documentary about the early history of Saudi Aramco, from the arrival of the first geologists in 1933 to the export of the first oil in 1938.

[@joannaroberts6062]

I lived in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia from 1953 to 1960 and seeing this video educated me in the difficult job it was to research and have faith that oil would be found. I didn't know that the name Dhahran was because of the Jebel of that name. Enjoyed viewing this video.

One of the Great Discoveries of all time amazing to see for the first time. May God bless.

[@MrHir2012]

This historical documentary portrays how difficult it is to make a geological survey in finding petroleum deposits.

I worked for United National Dairy Company ,Hofuf,Alhassa during 2014-2016.Great place & Very good locals.I had lots of saudi friends ,The best thing is that there is enormous amount of water beneath the ground which support countless farms & 2 dairy farms there viz Nada dairy & United national dairy company.Like the place very much.Thank you saudi Arabia for the great hospitality.

Very good , and first time I went to Saudi Arabia since 1993 worked in Saudi British hospital in Riyadh capital city . And.almost i roamed in KSA , but those days Riyadh , Jeddah , Dammam , Al khober only good cities , and remaking villages , towns , district was too backward I mean no development . But now present everything is changed & In sha Allah next month I'm going to Saudi Arabia after 25 years , and I want to meet my Saudi old friends , and also cost in villages , towns , & tribal areas to see is it really devolved or not .

[@FarhanAnwarOfficial]

Thanks for making superb documentry

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Great documentary with its old archival films. When I was in Dubai, we used to hear about ARAMCO and I read about the Saudi/American oil deal between Roosevelt and the Saudi King. It is a great venture, the US with the technology and the Saudis their oil. Those early days must have been heady and challenging, my hats off to the pioneers!

[@oceanaakaddharstagh2801]

Very educational program. I enjoyed it so much! Thank you for sharing.

[@nadima.al-hasani982]

Kindest thanks for sharing this. The discovery of oil and it's impact on Saudi society will, no doubt, be discussed, analysed and assessed by future generations. It is also fascinating to observe the contrasting perspectives of traditional Arabian culture and technological modernization.

[@popogast]

Am I right? The man at 12:57 (and before) comes from Texas. His voice and accent are similar to Johnny Winter. Can any American comment this?

[@hanihani7095]

Saudi people also did hard effort side by side with Americans to find the oil in the eastern region.

[@belingonza318]

Americans found the oil and worked together with the Saudis. Thats why we have a good relationship with them.

[@ahmedbaig7279]

May be king Salman was in 1934 supervised the survey of oil exploration in the region twice of Texas. Very nice picture of this frail person. Pakistan is slightly larger than Texas. I have been to Texax capital and Wichita Falls. I had seen oil machines drilling oil. Also I had seen the Oil Barrons. Pakistan was producing 60,000 barrels per day. The local manpower works in Saudi Arabia.

[@m3nfaqih]

When I watch a documentary and I hear the words “...millions of years ago” I turn it off. According to the Bible the earth is 6000 years old..I trust God’s Word rather than man! 🌍
