1952ABC_46142Al Ahmadi: Kuwait Oil Company 1952. Loose sheets stapled together at the left top corner with holes punched in the left margin. Small folio 33 x 20.5 cm. Duplicated typescript printed on the rectos only in purple ink probably with a spirit duplicator. Unrecorded information guide for new employees of the Kuwait Oil Company KOC who would be residing in Al Ahmadi headquarters of the Company. The Kuwait Oil Company was founded in 1934 a joint venture between the British Anglo-Persian Oil Company and the American company Gulf Oil. In the same year the sheik of Kuwait Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah reigned 1921-1950 granted them rights to the oil concession which they were to retain until 1975. The first oil was discovered in 1938 in Burgan field followed by discoveries in Magwa in 1951 Al Ahmadi in 1952 and many more regions. In 1946 the first commercial shipment took place. Because the initial development of the KOC coincided with the end of the British Raj in India many British and Indian people in its service were transferred to Kuwait in particular to Al Ahmadi. Al Ahmadi was set up to house these workers.This unrecorded guide is quite rare especially because it seems to be a quite cheaply produced and ephemeral document which was issued only in small numbers for in-house circulation.At some places very slightly frayed and creases along the edges and corners staple a little rusted leaves slightly toned some leaves a little cut short at the foot with no loss except for some of the catch-words but overall in remarkably good condition. A rare and unrecorded guide for employees of the Kuwait Oil Company in Ahmadi. Kuwait Oil Company, unknown
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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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

195680035General Drafting Company cartographer for the Creole Petroleum Corporation 1956. Text in Spanish. Full color one sheet map measures 65 x 108 cm folding to 22 x 11 cm. Light wear. Includes various indexes distance chart explanation of signs and index to points of interest in Caracas. Also includes highlighted zones of oil exploration.<br /> <br /> Venezuela became an oil economy after the discovery of crude oil around 1913. During the 1920s oil production was mostly done through concessions to foreign companies. The largest of those was the Creole Petroleum Corporation an American oil company and a division of Standard Oil of New Jersey. Once the second largest oil producer in the world the company was dissolved when Venezuelan nationalized its assets along with those of other foreign oil firms on January 1 1976.<br /> <br /> At the time this map was published the U.S. introduced oil import restrictions starting with voluntary controls in 1957 and escalating to President Eisenhower's Mandatory Oil Import Program MOIP in 1959 driven by concerns that cheap foreign oil threatened U.S. national security and domestic producers. From 1962 the maximum level of imports was set at 12.2% of domestic production. The import quota was lifted in 1973 by President Richard Nixon.
