The Oil Import Question; A Report on the Relationship of Oil Imports to the National Security

197073326U. S. Government Printing Office 1970. Wraps. Very good. xiv 399 3 pages. Map. Appendices. Occasional footnotes. Figures. Tables. Index. Minor pencil erasure residue on title page. Cover has slight wear and soiling. On March 25 1969 the President created a Cabinet Task Force to conduct a comprehensive review of oil import restrictions; requested the Secretary of Labor to assume its chairmanship; named as the other members the Secretaries of State Treasury Defense Interior and commerce and the director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness; and added observers representatives of the Department of Justice Bureau of the Budget Council of Economic Advisers Office of Science and Technology Policy Office of the Special Trade Representatives and Federal Power Commission. Two of the members Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of Commerce did not associate themselves with this report and filed separate views. The Chairman of the Federal Power Commission also disassociated himself in full from the report and joined the two dissenting members in their expression of separate views. Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes advocated the stockpiling of emergency crude oil in 1944. President Truman's Minerals Policy Commission proposed a strategic oil supply in 1952. President Eisenhower suggested an oil reserve after the 1956 Suez Crisis. The Cabinet Task Force on Oil Import Control recommended a similar reserve in 1970. But few events so dramatically underscored the need for a strategic oil reserve as the 1973-74 oil embargo. The cutoff of oil flowing into the United States from many Arab nations sent economic shockwaves throughout the Nation. In the aftermath of the oil crises the United States established the SPR. President Ford set the SPR into motion when he signed the Energy Policy and Conservation Act EPCA on December 22 1975. The legislation declared it to be U.S. policy to establish a reserve of up to one billion barrels of petroleum. The Gulf of Mexico was a logical choice for oil storage sites. More than 500 salt domes known to be an inexpensive and secure means of petroleum storage are concentrated along the coast. Also the Gulf Coast is the location of many U.S. refineries and distribution points for tankers barges and pipelines. In April 1977 the government acquired several existing salt caverns to serve as the first storage sites. Construction of the first surface facilities began in June 1977. On July 21 1977 the first oil - approximately 412000 barrels of Saudi Arabian light crude - was delivered to the SPR. Fill of the Nation's emergency oil reserve had begun. U. S.

Inland & Off Shore Drilling Texas and Kansas Petroleum Production Infrastructure Including "Lee's Oil Well" 1970s and 1984

1970233331970. Texas and Kansas petroleum infrastructure photo archive 1970s and 1984 documenting the industrial system that linked Gulf Coast fabrication yards port facilities heavy marine transport offshore petroleum extraction and inland drilling in the mature oil fields of Kansas. The photographs show offshore structures moving from shore side assembly into open water service and a separate 1984 Kansas sequence inscribed "Lee's oil well" where a land based drilling rig trucks workers and rig floor equipment record oil production away from the coast. The archive places petroleum extraction within both the Gulf Coast industrial corridor that built and deployed offshore structures and the inland lease field where drilling remained dependent on mobile rigs pipe handling and small crews. Its value lies in that shift of scale from Galveston waterfront engineering and offshore installation to the working machinery of a Kansas well in the early 1980s. Photo archive of 42 chromogenic color photographs 3.5 x 5 inches Galveston Texas circa 1970s and Kansas 1984. The photographs center first on large offshore structures at several stages of completion and deployment including jack up rigs elevated decks cranes and a prominent circular helipad or radar platform mounted above the main deck. Several views show rigs still at dockside beside harbor pavement parked vehicles and industrial lifting equipment; others place the same or similar structures offshore standing above open water on extended legs or surrounded by service craft. One photograph includes a banner reading "Galveston Project Post USA" anchoring part of the sequence to a named project site while another frames the Galveston waterfront with dense ranks of harbor cranes and marine industrial equipment. Additional images show smaller fixed platforms a long yellow boom or gangway extending over water crane barges maneuvering beside offshore structures and a wider sea view with multiple platforms operating at once establishing repeated movement between fabrication yard port transfer and offshore installation. Six later Kansas photographs show "Lee's oil well" in 1984 including a land drilling rig in open field country truck mounted support equipment a lowered mast or rig component being moved into position workers on the rig floor handling chain and pipe a standing derrick and close views of the drill string hoisting line block and metal rig fittings. By the mid 1960s offshore oil had become central to both the U.S. energy economy and Texas coastal industry. Gulf Coast yards built and serviced the jackets pipe vessels and equipment that allowed companies to move farther offshore and later federal studies described fabrication yards as a core part of the offshore system that linked land based labor to offshore production. Texas held a special place in that expansion because its ports yards engineering firms and petroleum capital helped turn the Gulf into a permanent industrial frontier. Kansas had a different petroleum history beginning with commercial production in the 1890s and continuing through thousands of smaller lease fields where independent operators and mobile drilling crews extended the life of older oil districts. The 1984 "Lee's oil well" photographs add that inland production economy to the Galveston material showing how petroleum infrastructure depended not only on large coastal fabrication and marine transport but also on field rigs pipe work trucks and crew labor at individual wells. Light surface wear mild fading and minor edge wear; overall very good condition. A concentrated visual record of how American petroleum production moved between Gulf Coast offshore construction marine installation and inland drilling work in late twentieth century Texas and Kansas. unknown

Oil Extraction and Oil Well Fires in South Texas Photos 1952-54

1952217461952. Oil Extraction and Oil Well Fires in South Texas. Three silver gelatin black-and-white photographic prints including one gelatin silver press photo 8 x 10 in. and two photo prints from negatives 5 x 7 in. Dated 1952 and 1954. Content includes an image of a wildcat rig in Lavaca County Texas and dramatic scenes of oil well fires. All photos with extensive manuscript notations on verso including references to press filing. This small but gripping photo archive documents the volatility and danger of oil drilling operations in mid-century South Texas including one catastrophic blowout and fire. The 8 x 10 inch silver gelatin press photograph dated June 1954 and stamped "RETURN TO CHRONICLE FILES" shows a towering oil derrick rising above dense trees. The reverse identifies the location as Lavaca County and describes a wildcat operation in Hallettsville Texas where drilling reached 8000 feet. A hand-written note reads "Field Drilling Co. Ext. Exterior - cementing protective casing 10240 down to 8000 ft - Lavaca County 2 1/2 mi. N. Hallettsville." The two smaller prints-captioned in manuscript as "Oil Well Fires"-capture the momentous force of an uncontrolled eruption. One image shows a roiling column of black smoke and flame rising from a well site surrounded by distant silhouettes of onlookers. Another more closely framed emphasizes the explosive power as the plume expands over nearby treetops. A note on the verso dates one of these prints to October 1952 stating it is a "Print from Studio of late Cecil Thomson." Cecil Thomson 1881-1953 was a prolific Houston-based commercial photographer and photojournalist who operated Thomson Studio a major supplier of images to regional newspapers including the Houston Post and Houston Chronicle. His studio active from 1909 until his death in 1963 continued producing prints posthumously from its extensive negative archive making it likely these fire images were developed and distributed under the studio's imprint even if not taken by Thomson personally. All three photos are from the Houston Chronicle archives with two stamped or inscribed "Return to Chronicle Morgue." One image includes the notation "Sunday Oil - Lavaca County Wildcat." These images preserve both the ambition and peril of mid-century oil operations in Texas a period when wildcat drilling fueled economic speculation and technological innovation often with great human and environmental risk. Surface creases and light wear to edges; verso of each image shows editorial markings and annotations in grease pencil and ink. Overall very good condition. A vivid visual record of the oil industry's volatility in 1950s Texas with provenance from the Houston Chronicle press files. unknown

Gulf Coast Industrial Expansion and Offshore Oil Rig Construction archive of 53 photographs Galveston Texas 1965-66

1965233141965. Offshore oil construction photographs documenting platform fabrication barge work marine transport and field logistics tied to the Gulf Coast petroleum industry in 1965-66 with direct evidence of how offshore drilling depended on a broad labor system before a rig ever reached a producing field. Taken at Farmers Marine Copper Works in Galveston Texas the archive records the building and handling of steel jackets deck sections cranes work barges service vessels and crew activity that made offshore extraction possible. The Gulf of Mexico was the proving ground of the modern offshore petroleum industry as the region became the incubator for an industry later exported worldwide. Photo archive of 53 color photographs 3.5" x 3.5" Galveston Texas 1965-66. The photographs show offshore structures in multiple stages of assembly and movement rather than a single completed drilling scene. Repeated views include steel platform legs and jacket sections standing in the water beside cranes and barges; large deck modules being hoisted or aligned over pilings; work decks with hoses railings and moored service boats; crewmen gathered onshore and aboard vessels; and small aircraft and automobiles used in project access and inspection. Several images show major marine lifts in progress with cranes extending over partially assembled structures and barges positioned tight against the work. Others widen out to open water towing scenes or partially completed platforms against distant mountainous terrain indicating that some photographs may record project deployment or field work beyond Galveston even if no specific destination is identified on the objects themselves. Handwriting on one verso of a group of men identifies "McClure / Chas. Young / Smithy." By the mid 1960s offshore oil had become central to both the U.S. energy economy and Texas coastal industry. Gulf Coast yards built and serviced the jackets pipe vessels and equipment that allowed companies to move farther offshore and later federal studies described fabrication yards as a core part of the offshore system that linked land based labor to offshore production. Texas held a special place in that expansion because its ports yards engineering firms and petroleum capital helped turn the Gulf into a permanent industrial frontier. Light handling wear and most exhibit curling; images generally clean and well preserved. Overall good condition. A strong documentary record of offshore construction labor at the moment when Texas Gulf Coast yards were helping scale the offshore oil industry from regional enterprise to national system. unknown

Gulf Coast Energy Expansion Marine Industrial Rig Assembly at Galveston Texas

1970233351970. Offshore oil rig construction photographs of marine industrial labor and heavy equipment operations at the Port of Galveston Texas undated showing how Gulf Coast petroleum infrastructure was assembled through coordinated crane work deck staging and vessel support. Made by an unidentified worker contractor or site observer with direct access to the platform and adjoining work areas the group records the operational system behind offshore petroleum expansion rather than only the finished structure: derrick components rising between lattice boom cranes machinery positioned on crowded deck surfaces workers monitoring equipment from railings and platforms and service craft moving below the job site. Within the history of Gulf Coast oil and gas development these images preserve the waterfront and offshore construction process through which drilling and extraction infrastructure entered service in one of the chief locations which allowed Texas entry into national and international trade. Photo archive of 17 silver gelatin snapshot photographs each about 3.5" x 5" also includes 18 negative images 35 mm Port of Galveston Texas circa 1960s-1970s. The prints concentrate on a single marine construction environment with repeated views of tall lattice cranes a derrick or drilling tower under assembly steel framework catwalks railings deck mounted machinery and industrial piping. Several photographs move between wide and close vantage points: one looks down onto a work deck strewn with cables drums tools and structural members; another isolates a crane boom overhead; others frame the rig against open water with a small service boat alongside. Two views show a worker in coveralls standing at the railing and looking across the site; in one image the patch on his back reads "Farmers Marine Copper Works Inc. Petro Chemical Marine Galveston Texas" directly tying the group to a named Galveston industrial contractor. Another figure in light clothing appears deeper in the structure. Interior or semi enclosed machinery views include a hopper shaped component rollers and processing equipment. The accompanying negative strips are marked and the original photo processing envelope survives with printed instructions preserving the group's original commercial processing context. Galveston's port facilities formed part of the larger Gulf Coast industrial network that supported offshore petroleum construction marine transport and heavy fabrication across the twentieth century and this group fixes that system at deck level through workers machinery staging practices and support traffic in the water below. Light wear curling and handling to prints and negatives; processing envelope creased and worn. A concise visual record of offshore oil infrastructure under construction with strong research value for petroleum history labor history and Gulf Coast industrial development showing Galveston as a site where harbor industry and offshore oil support work converged making the port a key setting for mid twentieth century energy expansion. l. unknown
