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.

Extraordinary survival: a railroad broadside advertising a route to America's first oil boom.<br/> <br/>The first oil well in the United States was drilled by E. L.

The Titusville population exploded from 250 residents to over 10000 in little more than five years; Pithole expanded from four log-cabin farmhouses to a bustling city with over 50 hotels over the span of five months in 1865. At its peak the Pennsylvania wells were producing one third of the world's oil. An ephemeral survival of America's first oil rush. unknown books
