Anglo Desert Exploration Iran Iranian Masjid Stores Workshops Oil Field Sulaiman
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company's workshops and store areas at Masjid-I-Sulaiman, one of the first active oil fields in the Middle East. Dating back to the 1930s, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of the oil industry in Iran. The arid desert landscape stretches out in the background, dotted with the distinctive domes of Masjid-I-Sulaiman, a historic site that has been a source of natural resources for centuries. In the foreground, a maze of industrial structures comes to life, with workers clad in protective gear toiling away at the machinery. The scene is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of those involved in the exploration and production of oil in this remote and challenging location. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, later known as British Petroleum, played a pivotal role in the development of Iran's oil industry. This photograph showcases the company's extensive infrastructure, including the workshops where repairs and maintenance were carried out on drilling equipment, and the store areas where supplies were kept. The presence of these facilities underscores the scale of the operation and the logistical challenges involved in extracting oil from the ground in such a harsh environment. Despite the harsh conditions, the workers appear focused and determined, their efforts fueled by the promise of unlocking the vast reserves of oil beneath the desert sands. This photograph offers a unique window into the past, providing a tangible connection to the rich history of oil exploration and production in Iran and the Middle East.
