Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Embark on a captivating journey into the heart of the Russian oil fields during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This book delves into the historical development of this crucial industry, tracing its evolution from primitive hand-dug pits to the revolutionary impact of modern drilling techniques and the rise of iconic companies like Nobel Brothers. The author, drawing upon firsthand experience and extensive research, paints a vivid picture of life and enterprise in the oil fields, exploring the technical intricacies of oil extraction, refining, and transportation. From the composition of oil deposits and the geological conditions necessary for their formation to the challenges of managing a sprawling oil property and navigating the complexities of Russian labor laws, this book offers a comprehensive and insightful account.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good +. 2nd Edition. Xix, 504 Pp + 5 Pp Ads At End. Second Edition, Revised And Expanded. Original Blue Cloth, Gilt, Beveled Edges. Inscribed In London By The Author To California Petroleum Geologist Ralph Arnold, And Dated In 1921. Covers Clean, All Gilt Still Brilliant, Light Fraying At Tips And Top Edge. Very Scarce, Only Three Institutional Holdings Of This 1908 Second Edition Are Shown In Worldcat. For An Excellent Summary Of Beeby-Thompson's Unparalleled Association With Baku See"Arthur Beeby-Thompson: Oil Pioneer" On The Internet. Of Little Interest Today, The Oil Fields Of Baku Were Hitler's Major Interest In His Attempted Subjugation Of Russia In World War Ii, A Fact Well Known To Many Russians But Known By Few Living Westerners. There Is A Plausible Argument That The National Economics, Politics, And Militarization Of Oil And Gas Is So Important That Twentieth Century And Twenty-First Century National Economics, Politics And Militarization May To A Considerable Degree Be Considered As Just Aspects Of The Oil And Gas Business; Petroleum And Gas Derivatives Provide Not Just Energy But The Chemicals Used In All Industry Including The Lubrication Of Essential Machines. This Business Is, Below The Radar Of The Media, Indispensably Dependent Upon The Oil Equipment Supply Business, An Oligopoly Where Equipment Is Never Sold, Only Leased, Making The Users Dependent Upon Such Firms "Forever" And Giving Them Incomparable Political Leverage. Per The Huntington Library, Ralph Arnold, A Leading Consulting Geologist And Petroleum Engineer In The United States, Came To Pasadena, California, From Iowa With His Family In 1880, And Was Educated At Stanford University. Arnold Became A Member Of The U.S. Geological Survey, Wrote And Lectured Extensively On Geological Subjects, Engaged In Numerous Mining And Petroleum Ventures, And Was Active In Republican Politics, Especially In The Presidential Campaign Of Herbert Hoover (One Of Hoover's Sons Was A Worldwide Petroleum Drilling Business Operator.)
