Caption: Cerro Azul #4, under mound, largest oil well in the world, capacity of 250,000 barrels daily. Property of the Huasteca (Doheny interests). On mound at left will be seen part of drill stem bloom from well when she came in. Might mention that the rig was torn to pieces by the tremendous pressure. This well came in in September, 1916, and ran wild for 9 days before they could close the valve. Probably will be the last Mexican well to go to salt water. (Note The Huastra is owned by the Mexican Petroleum Company.) |
