Abstract:
American spiritualism and the oil industry developed around the same time and in relatively close geographic proximity. Both nineteenth-century phenomena were invested in a belief in the unseen, whether in the form of deceased loved ones or of underground oil reserves. Spiritualists such as Abraham James turned to the oil industry because of its lucrative financial opportunities and because of its potential to demonstrate the “practical” applications of spiritualism and Harmonial philosophy. Spiritualism offered an alternative to evangelical Christian and classical republican conceptions of industry, and a vibrant communication network through which events in the oil fields could be related to the general public. Reading accounts of James's work as an “oil wizard” reveals the industrial aspirations of spiritualism and the psychometric aspects of the oil industry, both of which have been largely erased in twentieth-century historiography. Spiritualist publications, newspapers, technical manuals, and popular accounts of the oil industry throughout the nineteenth century produced James as a new kind of male medium, capable of meeting the exigencies of the oil fields. He proved infinitely reproducible as an agent of “practical spiritualism” and was discussed alongside the other drillers, operators, laborers, teamsters, and investors at work in the oil region. As petroleum geology began to establish itself as a discipline in the early twentieth century, accounts of the early oil industry reframed James, along with other practitioners of divination, as an amusing, if somewhat embarrassing, anomaly in an attempt to distinguish the modern “scientific” oil industry from its chaotic and superstitious beginnings. While later historians have offered a more sympathetic reading of divination's role in the oil fields, James and his Harmonial wells have largely disappeared from the historical record. Yet, despite scientific innovation and revisionist history, the oil industry still bears traces of its psychometric past and must contend with the ways in which its future is dependent on successfully channeling the unseen.

Abstract:
Since its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century, oil refining technology has evolved in a continuous process of adaptation to the demands of society, in matters as vital as the supply of energy, lighting, transportation or new materials to improve the quality of life. In that time, this has been one of the greatest examples of how the technological innovation of an industry contributes to the welfare and development of society. The objective of this manuscript is to describe the history of these technological advances and the causes that motivated them.

Abstract:
This study explores how Norway, as a latecomer to oil production, was able to develop both effective oil companies and an internationally competitive oil service industry. The article focuses on two rather distinct phases: the protectionist phase, in which a strong focus on local content fostered skilled Norwegian oil companies as well as a national oil service industry, and the phase of liberalization or financialization, where new forms of contact and openness to foreign ownership laid the basis for internationally oriented Norwegian oil companies and oil supply and service firms.

Abstract:
Over the course of the twentieth century, Iran has experienced numerous dramatic events and has undergone radical transformations. The country participated in three major wars (1914–1918, 1941–1945, 1980–1988) that caused enormous human suffering and economic damage; two coup détats (1921, 1953) that altered power relations within the military and political elite; and two revolutions (1905–1909, 1978–1982) that led to fundamental changes in social, political, and cultural relations in Iran and beyond. But the event that, perhaps, has had the most significant impact on the history of twentieth-century Iran was the discovery of oil in 1908.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis shows how, and to what extent, the British offshore industry affected the lives of women in North East of Scotland from the 1970s to the start of the new millennium. It presents new evidence, in the form of oral history life story interviews, which prove the long and sustained impact that women have had upon the industry, clarifying previous misunderstandings by scholars and politicians and revealing for the first time, a chronology of women’s history offshore. This thesis remedies the fact that the history of the British North Sea oil industry has almost exclusively been portrayed from the perspective of male employees and without recourse to gender analysis.  My argument is that this has impeded not only discussion of women’s historical contributions, but also critical reflection upon men’s experiences of the industry.  My approach to writing the history of the British North Sea oil industry promotes and facilitates the inclusion of women’s previously unrecorded experiences.  It also reinterprets many of the perceived ‘facts’ of men’s experiences. By presenting new empirical evidence and applying a gendered analysis to it this thesis makes an original contribution to scholarship and opens up an exciting field for further research.

Full text
Abstract:
The history and archaeology of the oil and gas industry has received little attention in cultural resource management. The sites of early exploration activity are being destroyed rapidly due, in part, to the fact that field archaeologists and historians have not been educated on the scientific and historical importance of this industry to the American culture. This thesis is an attempt to begin the education process. The document begins with an overview of the historical developments on a national level and in the State of Wyoming. Attention is then focused on the physical remains that can be found in the field with guidance on the identification, interpretation, and evaluation of the remains. The thesis concludes with the development of research, designs and avenues of future inquiry.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis analyses institutional and organisational reform in the Former Soviet Union and Russia in order to examine the effects and existence of path dependency and institutional competition in the development of the Russian oil industry. Based on a New Institutional Economics and Transaction Costs Economics framework the thesis establishes a link between the evolution of the oil industry and the institutional matrix associate with the structure of state power. In the post-Soviet setting path dependency is created by the state's continued reliance on a patrimonial structure of state power. Resource and time pressure and the lack of a popular reform consensus resulted in the domination of the former mode of state power over the constitutional-bureaucratic system favoured by the International Financial Institutions. The transaction cost premium associated with the constitutional-bureaucratic structure and the appropriation of income and resources created a bias towards the historic structure of state power. Thus state survival was an important factor in creating path dependency. However, the thesis reveals that due to the less ideologically based political foundation there is greater room for institutional competition. While such competition has remained low at the state administrative level the thesis finds there is some evidence of institutional competition at the industry level. Two corporate strategies (the Soviet Styled Company and the Western Styled Company) have emerged from the original Holding Type Company. These two strategies display different approaches to income extraction, development strategy and ownership structure. The two strategies constitute the basis from which potential institutional competition in the oil industry may develop.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation describes seventy years of West Texas oil expansion and decline juxtaposed against a growing environmental and public health crisis. It tracks the experiences of industry employees, demonstrating that their understanding of oil industrialization and the environmental cost of economic success was complex and historically contingent. Rather than assuming that simple greed allowed industry personnel to ignore resource depletion and environmental contamination, this dissertation argues that a workplace culture of individualistic risk-taking coupled with industry propaganda that bred a utopian faith in technology was reinforced by the region’s punishing geography, general isolation, and the limits of industrial infrastructure. This project expands the thematic and geographic scope of current energy history scholarship, using the intertwined themes of environmental, personal, and economic risk to demonstrate the cultural contingency of energy system development. Bridging the disciplines of labor, environmental, and technological history, this project demonstrates that West Texas, along with regional innovations in oil technology and science, were central to both US petroleum development and indicative of broader twentieth-century debates about government control over natural resources and the acceptable victims of industrial contamination.

Shields, Francine. "Palm oil & power : women in an era of economic and social transition in 19th century Yorubaland (south-western Nigeria)." Thesis, University of Stirling, 1997. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/1926.

Full text
Abstract:
This study looks at the economic, political and social history of women in the Yoruba area of south-western Nigeria in the 19th century using contemporary sources which have remained previously largely untapped for historical studies of women. The century encompassed many key historical developments which affected women; in particular, the decline of the Atlantic slave trade and the growth of an export trade in locally produced palm oil and kernels. Whereas the slave trade had been dominated by men, the processing, transport and trade of palm produce was dominated by women. The extent, nature and effects of women's role in this and other industries such as pottery manufacture, dyeing and food vending, which also expanded and developed during this period, are examined. As demand for palm produce and other goods increased, the labour of both free-born and slave women became more valuable since it was vital for industry at all stages. The study looks at changing labour demands and sources and alterations in the established pattern of the sexual and generational division of labour. Important changes in gender relations are evident and the study illuminates how tensions between men and women and between women themselves were manifest and how both men and women expressed and dealt with these problems. Economic changes were accompanied by largely internal political developments which favoured a few wealthy women. overall, many men perceived and/or experienced that increasing female autonomy posed a threat to the established patriarchal order. The evidence represented in the thesis clearly shows how men attempted to subordinate women in general, tap into their income and limit their political involvement, mainly through the development of exploitative and restrictive aspects of male-dominated politico-religious cults, which were directed specifically at women.

Full text
Abstract:
L’épuisement des énergies fossiles est un thème d’actualité dont les prémices datent, selon l’opinion courante, des années 1970 et du premier choc pétrolier. En réalité, c’est une préoccupation plus ancienne, intimement liée à l’ère industrielle. Dans la deuxième partie du XIXème siècle, les économistes se sont penchés sur la question de l'épuisement des minerais, ‘objet non identifié’ jusqu'alors et nécessitant la mise sur pied de nouveaux outils d'analyse (effet-rebond chez Jevons, rente minière chez Marshall-Einaudi notamment). Avec le progrès des techniques et l'apparition de nouvelles énergies (pétrole, hydro-électricité), leurs craintes de déclin industriel se sont progressivement dissipées dans les années 1910 et 1920. Mais ces évolutions tenant à l’histoire des faits ne sont pas les seules à considérer. Des facteurs internes à la discipline économique, comme l'émergence du marginalisme dans les années 1870 et de la théorie de l'épargne et du capital dans les années 1890, ont aussi changé le regard des économistes sur la question de l'épuisement des ressources. Pourquoi ? Comment ? Quels enseignements peut-on en tirer pour les défis environnementaux d'aujourd'hui ? Voilà les questions qui sont traitées dans ce travail de thèse
Fossil fuels exhaustion is a current topic. It is often said that its first presages appeared in the 1970s with the first oil shock. Actually, this exhaustion fear is much older than that, it started with the Industrial Revolution and kept going since then. In the second part of the 19th century, some economists focused their attention on the mineral resources depletion, which was at the time an ‘unknown item’ that necessitated the creation of new concepts and new analytical tools to deal with (for example Jevons’ rebound-effect, Marshall-Einaudi’s mining rent). In the 1910s and 1920s, thanks to technical progress and the development of new energies (oil, hydro-electricity), their fears about industrial decline progressively dissipated. Yet, these factual evolutions are not the only ones to consider. Internal factors, inside economic science (marginalism in the 1870s, capital theory in the 1890s), also shaped economists’ viewpoint on resources exhaustion. Why? How? What lessons can we get from this period for our current environmental challenges? These are the questions that are studied in this thesis

Full text
Abstract:
L’Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC) est un consortium britannique formé le 30 mai 1929 et qui prend la suite de la Turkish Petroleum Company qui opérait sur l’ensemble de l’Empire ottoman. Sa mission est de trouver, exploiter et transporter du pétrole brut provenant de ses vastes concessions au profit de ses actionnaires. C’est l’Irak qui se trouve au cœur de l’entreprise pétrolière que les Majors comptent mener au Moyen-Orient, tout au moins à ses débuts. L’IPC exploite à partir de 1925 une concession qui s’étend à l’est du Tigre. En juillet 1938 et en mai 1939, deux de ses filiales, la Basra Petroleum Company (BPC) et la Mosul Petroleum company (MPC), gèrent respectivement les territoires situés au sud et au nord du 33e parallèle. À la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, c’est donc la presque totalité de l’Irak qui est aux mains du consortium britannique pour une durée de 75 ans. Entre 1948, date à laquelle les Majors américaines prennent le contrôle effectif du consortium, et la nationalisation de tous les avoirs de la compagnie en Irak en 1975, l’IPC doit faire face à de profondes mutations, tant en ce qui concerne l’industrie pétrolière que la situation géopolitique du Moyen-Orient. Tandis que le Moyen-Orient devient la première région exportatrice de pétrole au monde grâce aux efforts des Majors, l’affrontement entre le monde arabe et l’État d’Israël exacerbe le nationalisme des pays producteurs de pétrole. De simples pays hôtes percepteurs de redevances, ceux-ci réclament au nom de la souveraineté nationale et de la lutte contre l’impérialisme de contrôler l’action des Majors et de prendre activement part dans l’exploitation de leurs richesses nationales. Ainsi, l’IPC, avec d’autres consortium pétroliers internationaux opérant au Moyen-Orient, se trouve affectée, voire impliquée, dans les choix diplomatiques que les gouvernements occidentaux développent pour prévenir l’instabilité du Moyen-Orient, zone stratégique essentielle pour leur approvisionnement énergétique dans un contexte de guerre froide
The Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC) is a British company that, in July 1928, succeeded the Turkish Petroleum Company, which held a concession in Iraq. Since its creation, the IPC had been both an emanation of the major Western oil groups and the concrete expression of the oil policy pursued in the Middle East by the major Western powers, the United States, Great Britain and France. It was a petroleum production consortium whose activities were mainly in Iraq. From his creation in 1929 to his nationalization in 1975, IPC associated all of the Western Majors. In 1932 and in 1938, the Mosul Petroleum Company (MPC) and the Basrah Petroleum Company (BPC) rounded out this system in the southern part of Iraq. So, on the eve of World War II, the area of the concessions covered all Iraq.Until the 1970s, the concession system governed relationships between operating companies and producing countries. In those agreements, the producing countries did not control the amounts produced, the level of exports, or prices. But, as of the 1950s, the complex oil system implemented by the Majors was threatened by the de-colonization movement. The Soviet threat and the Israeli-Arab conflicts strengthened this increasing instability. So the battle for freeing the Arab nation incorporated the fight against IPC to return Arab oil to the Arabs. The revolution of 14 July 1958, which overthrew Nouri Saïd’s pro-Western government and brought General Abd el-Karim Kassem to power, intensified a constant political desire for re-appropriation of the Iraqi oil economy in the name of Iraq’s development and national sovereignty

Abstract:
Fondée en 1924, la Compagnie Française des Pétroles n’est encore qu’une société pétrolière de taille modeste au sortir de la deuxième guerre mondiale. En 2003, après avoir racheté Fina puis Elf, la désormais nommée Total SA rassemble près de 100 000 salariés, est présente dans toutes les grandes régions pétrolières mondiales et se considère comme une entreprise qui fournit de l’énergie et non plus seulement du pétrole. La thèse étudie cette identité de groupe, à travers les patrons, les salariés et les clients de Total. Comment les patrons successifs ont-ils conduit leur entreprise, quelle culture ont-ils voulu forger ? Quelle politique salariale est menée, dans le domaine de la formation, de la participation et de la subsidiarité ? Comment les clients sont-ils attachés à la marque Total et fidélisés ? Cette dernière question permet d’aborder le rapport de la société française au pétrole et à la voiture. Total groupe mondial n’est pas seulement un fournisseur d’énergie. L’entreprise pense et conceptualise sa responsabilité sociale et environnementale. En miroir de cette implication sociale, Total est aussi attaquée, voire décriée, pour un laxisme environnemental et pour des bénéfices mal redistribués. L’entreprise réagit de façon chaotique à ces accusations. La thèse s’interroge à ce titre sur le rapport affectif que les Français entretiennent avec le fleuron industriel de leur pays, et sur la façon dont ce fleuron essaye de valoriser son image de marque. C’est cette histoire d’hommes, de pétrole, d’identité et de culture, qui est le fil directeur de notre recherche. À travers le cas de Total, la thèse conduit donc une réflexion sur le capitalisme industriel comme acteur économique et social dans notre pays
Founded in 1924, Compagnie Française des Pétroles is still only a small oil company after the Second World War. In 2003, after buying Fina and then Elf, the company now known as Total SA has nearly 100,000 employees, is present in all the major oil regions of the world and considers itself a company that supplies energy; and not just oil. In about sixty years, it was a global industrial group that was built as much as a human group, endowed with a very strong internal culture.The thesis studies this group identity, through the bosses, employees and customers of Total. How did successive bosses conduct their business, what culture did they want to forge ? What wage policy is being pursued in the field of training, participation and subsidiarity ? How are customers tied to Total and loyalty ? This last question allows us to discuss the French society's relationship with oil and the car. Total global group is not just an energy supplier. The company thinks and conceptualizes its social and environmental responsibility. It conducts a cultural and patronage policy, it encourages its employees to engage in NGOs.In mirroring this social implication, Total is also attacked, even criticized, for environmental laxity and for badly redistributed profits. The company is reacting chaotically to these accusations. The thesis asks about the emotional relationship that the French have with the industrial flourish of their country, and how this jewel tries to enhance its image. It is this history of men, of oil, of identity and of culture, which is the main thread of our research. Through the case of Total, the thesis therefore leads to a reflection on industrial capitalism as an economic and social actor in France

Study on Development History of Traditional Oil Manufacturing Industry in Kinmen In terms of development of traditional industry economy, the natural conditions in one region forms the material basis of productivity and will generate influence on economic development form of local society with its uniqueness. As the same one region will be constrained by its natural conditions, Kinmen can be self-sufficient only in [sweet potato] and [peanut]. Further, [peanut] there contributes to the development of the oil manufacturing industry there. According to ancient books, pedigree of clans, relevant literature and field investigation, the traditional industries in Kinmen are dominated by the [oil manufacturing industry] and [shell extraction industry]. Therein, a majority of households has been engaged in the [oil manufacturing industry], while the [shell extraction industry] only saw several years of prosperity. After investigation, it is found that about 50 oil manufacturing factories have sustained for years and generated tremendous influenced on economy and livelihood of Kinmen. This paper mainly focuses on the oil manufacturing industry of the greatest significance to people's livelihood in spite of less study in such regional industries to learn the development of regional industry, economy and trade in Kinmen. According to relevant records in some ancient books, the oil manufacturing industry in Kinmen originated from the Qing Dynasty and saw more than 20 workshops of a certain scale during the Japanese-ruled period. By 1938 when the National Revolutionary Army fell back on Kinmen and the battlefield government reigned, the oil manufacturing industry witnessed its peak period with more than 30 workshops, forming an important foreign trade industry in the region. Moreover, peanut oil manufactured there were sold to Xiamen, Tong'an and other regions in addition to satisfying local consumption demands. Undergoing rising, change and renewal of oil manufacturing devices, change of process and technical improvement, the traditional oil manufacturing industry in Kinmen gradually languished and vanished after seeing great prosperity due to the influence of government policies, advancement in science and technology, change of the health concept, diversification of oil category and packages, business costs and profits, refined production-sales-logistics process and sources of raw materials. After the people's livelihood-oriented industry declined, the relevant devices were abandoned. In this paper, the relevant devices in the oil manufacturing industry are explained, among which most main body oil pressing (oil pressing chamber) of oil manufacturing devices was placed outdoors. After long-term exposure to the weather, manyoil oil pressing (oil pressing chamber) suffered rather serious damage. Further, due to lack of maintenance, the peripheral units including windmill, siderosphere, funnel and spoon also broke and rusted. Only some stoneware, such as Indian Curlew, edible lard and oil tanks, were well preserved outdoors. Collection and [preservation] of these devices will help us have a glance at the technical development history of the oil manufacturing industry in the past. After field investigation, pictures of the relevant real objects or hand drawings are attached in the text. At the end of the text, the author provides the [Development Investigation Form of the Oil Manufacturing Industry in Kinmen], which presents the historical facts from certain practitioners and their descendants by dictation.

Abstract:
The history of the offshore oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico is one of both progressive and punctuated development. New technologies, forms of work organization, and regulatory regimes have all combined over the past seventy years to influence the evolution of this industry. This paper reports early results of a multiyear, multi-team effort to document this history and its impacts on southern Louisiana. It focuses on the work of one team, applied anthropologists from the University of Arizona, to capture the history from the perspectives of the workers and local entrepreneurs who made this industry happen.

Full text
Abstract:
The oil and gas industry would continue to benefit from the successful application of innovative pipeline technologies. A comparison of the installed lengths of line pipe licensed by the Alberta Energy Regulatory (AER) in 2005 and 2012 indicates that composite pipeline systems have increased by 577%; a much higher increase than other types of licensed line pipe materials. The primary driver is to address corrosion that accounts for 68% of the AER-listed pipeline failures. Effective use of new flexible steel line pipe requires application within theoretically acceptable boundaries. A case history will be discussed to highlight some of the boundary conditions for flexible steel composite line pipe. Challenges to successfully use new innovative materials include industry’s ability to characterize the composition of the fluids transported by the pipeline, to characterize the composition of the fluids that permeate through the non-metallic components in some of the composite systems, and to construct systems without damage.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Nigeria has oil and gas as her major source of revenue, accounting for more than 80% of her foreign exchange, with the AfCFTA, that has been signed and ratified not just by Nigeria but by other African countries taking away tariffs on goods and services produced across the continent irrespective of the market where it's been sold. The AfCFTA being the second largest free trade agreement in the history of World Trade Organization is aimed at uniting African markets. This paper aims to review the framework of the continental free trade agreement, it pros and cons, its grey area, and its impact on the Oil and Gas Industry in Nigeria. The impact of the agreement on the local industries servicing the oil and gas industry is considered as well. The paper reviews the possible advantage of the AfCFTA on the Nigerian oil and gas market. The possible threats to nationalization in the oil and gas industry due to the availability of cheap labour and technical expertise across the continent in the country is analyzed. Solutions to protect the oil and gas industry in Nigeria is recommended as well.

Abstract:
Abstract Oil price is primarily determined by global supply and demand forces as well as governments policies and action or inaction of institutions like OPEC. However, in recent times, it has become evident that public health is a vital factor influencing demand and in turn oil price. In US, oil price reached a negative value for the first time in history by April 2020. Personnel and public health have been shown to have profound effect on operational expenditure (OPEX) of organizations, this in turn affecting the profitability of such organizations. Extra measures involving cost, had to be taken by organizations all over the world to ensure health and safety of their personnel in their sites. In Nigeria, effect of covid-19 measures for companies were, shut in of production, declaration of force majeure on ongoing contracts, slashing of costs, suspension on evaluation of future projects, profile assets for sale, remote/tele working, etc. Huge costs were also incurred as a part of corporate social responsibility for host communities/states where they operate. The consequential outcome is that there are reports of lower than planned profitability and liquidity positions. This paper examines action taken during this covid crisis and their impact on the financial status of their organizations. Using a quantitative and descriptive research design, an online survey has been used to gather information from respondents from different oil and gas companies of cost incurred by them. Secondary data was also obtained from quarterly reports of some companies of the oil majors to show their profitability comparing Q1-Q4 of 2019 and 2020. The paper also appraises action and inaction by corporate/government bodies to stimulate economic growth and help its personnel/citizenry. An attempt is also made to glean experience and lessons from organization that lived through the periods being examined.

Abstract:
In 1964 Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk AS decided to develop a small gas turbine for power generation, primarily for stand-by and emergency power. The engine was called the KG2 and had a unique all radial rotor design which was to become the trade mark for the later Kongsberg designs. The onset of the oil exploration in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea in the 1970’s gave the new business an opportunity to qualify for continuous drive applications and to expand into the international oil- and gas industry. In the following years a larger engine, the KG5, was launched and a third engine program was initiated, but never completed. The gas turbine know-how that was established in Kongsberg in these years was of great significance to the overall Norwegian gas turbine competence environment and was a deciding factor when Dresser-Rand first partnered with and later, in 1987, acquired the business. Under the new ownership the company became able to offer compressor- and power generation packages based on large aero-derivative gas turbines and it was soon recognized as a significant supplier, both nationally and internationally. The present paper provides a review of some of the unique design features of the KG series of engines as well as some of the typical applications. It also describes the transformation of the company from a small industrial gas turbine supplier to the recognized supplier of large, compressor- and power generation packages for the oil and gas industry.

Full text
Abstract:
One of the many design challenges in offshore industry is the fatigue life estimation of risers due to the loading that is generated by vortex induced vibration (VIV). In deep waters, where the long risers are subjected to sever VIV-induced stresses and may encounter multi-modal vibration, the VIV-induced stresses could be the most significant contributor to the overall damage of the structure. The variable amplitude nature of the stress-time history often creates significant errors in the estimated fatigue life of the structure. The irregularities in the loading scenario could also create a considerable degree of plasticity at the crack tip, thus leading to. variability in material response. The uncertainties in the estimated fatigue damage under such a variable amplitude loading has resulted in the use of large safety factors by industry for establishing the fatigue life of the risers.
