description Oil had recently been discovered on his property. This photograph was published in the Birmingham News on January 21, 1952, with the following caption: "Black gold - This is where the oil comes from. Jack Sullivan, left, and A. R. Buckalew, workmen employed by Humble Oil Company, are at work at the mouth of the well from which good quality crude oil spurted Saturday. The well was capped soon after the oil was pushed out by a maximum of 2,600 pounds of pressure per square inch. Under his lease agreement with Humble, Farmer Allen Moye said he will get one eighth of the royalties from the well. State Geologist Walker B. Jones has estimated that the well will produce 1,000 barrels of High gravity oil per day. Bringing in of the well opened a comparatively new oil field for Alabama. It is about six miles from the Florida border."
