We here at the BOE Report love history. Specifically, the oilpatch’s history. So when we came across a video, shot in 1947 and filmed in Turner Valley, which showcased Southern Alberta’s oilfields, we had to share it.

Story of Oil explains 1940’s Turner Valley oil exploration, seismology, coring labs, drilling and completion–and offers a friendly reminder why the world needs oil.

Enjoy!
