191775579Powell WY: Southern Montana Oil Company. 1917. Original silver gelatin photograph measuring measuring 39 x 10 inches caption in the plate in white. Small stain to the blank upper margin else very good.First of all we have to love this photograph for having a man with his arms outspread placed in the very middle of the image. It bespeaks a person very exalted to be present in a deserted and beautiful landscape. Southern Montana Oil Company incorporated on October 30 1916 and had established offices in Missoula Montana by 1917. All of its directors came from Anaconda a region known for its copper deposits. The directors I.W. Walker A.F. Mavity R.A. Cobban F. Shannon and T.P. Stewart decided to pursue petroleum riches in southern Wyoming.By April 1917 the new exploration company was drilling wells in the Elk Basin oilfield which crosses the state line between Carbon County Montana and Park County Wyoming. The giant Elk Basin field has a dramatic history of its own as noted in First Wyoming Oil Wells. Southern Montana Oil successfully completed a well that produced 25 barrels of oil a day.y November 1917 company manager George L. Means reported to Colorado’s Fairplay Flume newspaper that drilling operations were getting underway on eight 40-acre tracts near Meeteetse Wyoming once a hideout for outlaw Butch Cassidy. Drilling commercially successful wells proved elusive however and by 1921 Southern Montana Oil Company stock was offered at only two cents per share. After the company failed its stock was described in subsequent inheritance litigation as valueless.The photographer A. G. Lucier was one of the first in the area. He opened his photography studio in Powell in 1909. He was later hired by Tex Holms to be the photographer of his famous 18-day tours of Yellowstone Park. He was also published heavily in the local paper the Powell Tribune. He also tried his hand at motion pictures filming 25000 feet of film at the Pine Ridge Agency. For his work in the Elk Basin Columbia University sent him a congratulatory and flattering letter. By 1920 he and his wife had set up a stand near the current Buffalo Bill Visitor's center and sold photographs of the dPark and it fauna andflora to tourists. Southern Montana Oil Company. unknown

1958163043Kuwait: 1958. A fitting gift for a veteran oil man This evocative image was likely captured at dawn and shows two Bedouin engaged in the daily Fajr prayer both wearing the traditional shemagh headdress . Although not marked as such this was presented to William K. Whiteford 1900-1968 president of Gulf Oil in 1958 - the 20th anniversary of the discovery of oil in Kuwait. In 1934 Gulf Oil formed an alliance with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company to create the Kuwait Oil Company. It received concession rights in 1934 started drilling in 1936 and discovered oil two years later in the massive Burgan oil field. In 1957 Whiteford was described by Time magazine as "burly aggressive Bill Whiteford who started as an oilfield roughneck out of Stanford University was brought into Gulf in 1951 from the presidency of Canada's British American Oil Co. Ltd. made chief administrative officer in 1953 under Sidney A. Swensrud who moved up from president to board chairman. Whiteford shook up Gulf's management strengthened its domestic and Western Hemisphere holdings firmly but unofficially took over much of the executive authority". 1958 was also the year in which Whiteford published a short in-house history Gulf and the World Oil Industry. The image of Bedouin at their sunrise prayers may be an intentional hommage to the dawn of the Kuwaiti oil industry.

1945232411945. Oil refinery photo archive documenting refinery labor plant operations and worker identity at Kern Oil in Southern California and Mid West Refineries in Grand Rapids Michigan in the immediate postwar years showing how petroleum production expanded through the daily work of identified laborers during the industrial reorganization that followed World War II. The group centers on the men who stood on the ground among cracking towers tank farms piping runs shop buildings and control areas. Postwar oil demand rose with civilian automobile use trucking suburban growth and military-industrial continuity and refineries became key sites where that expansion was made practical through skilled and semi-skilled labor shift work maintenance inspection and dangerous physical proximity to heat pressure fuel storage and heavy equipment. The archive records that system at worker level where industrial growth appears as crews posing beside process units inside service spaces and at small plant structures rather than as abstract production statistics.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 26 silver gelatin photographs each 2.5" x 4.5" Kern Oil Southern California and Mid West Refineries Grand Rapids Michigan circa 1945-1949. Roughly half the images show refinery infrastructure with dense fields of distillation columns and stacks cylindrical tanks elevated piping steel frameworks service roads and storage areas; one dramatic view shows a damaged or collapsed horizontal tank or vessel within a twisted metal structure. A large painted sign reading "MID-WEST REFINERIES INC." advertises "GASOLINES / FUEL OILS / BURNER OILS / KEROSENE." Other views show broader plant grounds with horizontal storage tanks outbuildings and open yards. The remaining photographs focus on workers posed alone and in groups in overalls work shirts caps and brimmed hats standing beside towers near pipe runs outside small office or shack structures and in work areas with process equipment visible behind them. Several versos identify individuals by name including groupings such as "Perry / Bob Patter / Lou Lane / John Higdon" "Charles Johnson / Bart Klein / 1946" "B. Klein / C. West / D. Golden" one inscription reads "4-15-49 / Place / MAX WERTZ SHACK / M-50 / Lou Peterson."<br /> American oil refining in the mid-1940s stood at the junction of wartime production and postwar consumer expansion. Plants that had helped sustain military logistics now fed the fuel economy that depended on workers whose labor was physically demanding and hazardous. These photographs preserve the named men occupying the industrial landscape that structured their livelihoods. Light wear and minor curling; numerous versos with identifying inscriptions; overall very good condition. A grounded postwar labor archive that places refinery workers inside the machinery of American oil production at the moment petroleum became central to everyday life. unknown
