TitleAmerica'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 NationsTypeStill ImageCollectionAuthorized Access PointAmerica's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations.
