Budding petroleum engineers may find the two pictures interesting as they reflect India’s oil history. I picked them up from DEW Journal’s archives. The first picture shows elephant carts setting out for seismic survey in upper Assam during formative years of the oil industry in India. Amazing how things have changed over the years.
The second picture shows Well No.1—India’s first oil well, Digboi field, in 1890. Digboi is the world's oldest continuously producing oil field. It is not another oil field, but an oil museum with a history to be proud of. Truly a big inspiration to create similar future landmarks.
