America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Oil deposits below swamp lands in the southern U.S. state of Louisiana are detected by a device installed in boats manned by oil geologists. Small explosions are set off in rock formations underlying the swamp. The subterranean echo those blasts cause as their sound travels downward into the earth and rebounds from certain rock and earth stratas often betrays the presence of oil by the lapse of time between explosion and echo. In the U.S. oil is sought at the tops of mountains, under farmlands and deserts, on the seacoast and under the sea, as well as under swamplands. The efficiency of oil company geologists in detecting oil deposits under in out-of-the-way places has contributed to the vast resources of the American petroleum industry in meeting the demands of modern warfare 1944?

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. A geologist employed by a U.S. oil company sets up his microscopes in the field to examine a "core" of rock or earth taken from a test boring far below the earth's surface to determine the presence of absence of oil on the site. Years ago, when the oil industry was in its infancy, the "hit or miss" method of drilling for oil was the rule and thousands of drilling operations were unsuccessful. Today few wells are drilled without a preliminary survey by geologists who specialize in reading the surface of the ground and examining rock and mud samples, such as those shown in the picture, to determine how great the chances of striking oil in that particular district. The efficiency of modern U.S. methods of finding oil makes possible the enormous amounts of crude oil products being supplied to the armies and navies of the United Nations 1944?

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Oil well derricks on the beach along the coast of the U.S. Pacific coast state of California indicate how thorough is the seach for oil which has been going on in America for more than eighty years. Some beach wells are drilled straight down to reach oil deposits, but others are drilled at an angle so that oil is being pumped from locations far under the sea. Sometimes the bottom of the well is a quarter mile or half mile from the shore, while surf washes the foundations of the steel tower on which the drilling or pumping machinery is placed. The thoroughness and efficiency of the U.S. oil industry in finding new oil deposits accounts for the enormous supplies produced in America for the modern machines of war. In 1944 according to a U.S. oil company official, the predictable U.S. crude oil total will reach 1,601,250,000 barrels 1944?

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. An oil well driller at a derrick operated by a large U.S. oil company signals the engineer to lower a "gun-perforater" which he is about to guide into the mouth of the well. At each of the places marked by the large visible screw-nuts on the gun-perforater is a .45 calibre cartridge. When the "gun-perforater" has been lowered to the bottom of the oil well, which has been carefully sealed with steel and cement, the cartridges will be fired simultaneously by an electric charge and the cartridge bullets will pierce holes through the well's steel casing and several inches of cement. Through these holes oil (if the well is successful) will flow slowly to the surface of the earth. This method of restraining oil flow in a new well prevents wastage which might otherwise occur if the oil is blown upwards by natural gas pressure in the oil pool. Economical methods such as these have increased the efficiency of the U.S. oil industry to a point where it can meet the tremendous demands being made upon it by the war

United States. Office of War Information. War production suggestions. For his valuable contribution to plant efficiency, an employee of the Newark Stove Company, Newark, Ohio, won the Certificate of Individual Merit presented by the war production drive headquarters of the War Production Board (WPB). Mr. Lewis suggested a method of reclaiming worn-out reamers that equal or surpass original reamers, the production of which required 2,000 man hours per month and the use of 1,000 pounds of highspeed bar stock. His suggestion prevented the shutdown of the Shell Shop at his company for two months 1942?
