Oil Well Fire Fighting in Iran (In French Language) 88834 (1951)
1951 · Short film · 14 min
Synopsis
Produced in 1951 by British Petroleum, RIG 20 (French language version shown here) shows the hazards involved when fire breaks out at an oil well, and the measures taken to extinguish the fire. The oil well in question was in Persia. The fire is fought using water to cool the well head, and explosives placed in the throat of the well to deprive it of oxygen. The detonation (at 7:47) is tremendous but produces the desired result. The well can now be capped. The film was directed by Ronald H. Riley and David Villiers and nominated for the BAFTA award.
