Welcome to the Oil Field Relics group!

The petroleum industry plays a vital role in all of our lives. Although many people don't realize it, life as we know it would not, and could not, exist without the petrochemical industry.
I hope this group can serve as a place for people to talk about older equipment they've found related to drilling and producing oil. Central powers, older style engines, steel derricks, and standard rigs are quickly vanishing from the landscape. Hopefully we can encourage people to photographically document, and try to save, the early equipment that made such a revolution in our way of living possible.

I ask that list members will show the same courtesy to others that they'd want shown to themselves. If copywrited material is posted please note it as such. Please remember that no one is a expert in everything! I want this to be a place where people can share their expertise and everyone will have the chance to learn something new.
