L'artefact

Champ de pétrole Yenangyaung, au Myanmar

Description

Dix tours de forage pour le pétrole sont entassées dans le champ pétrolier de Yenangyaung en Birmanie (Myanmar moderne).

Certaines tours de forage sont munies de réservoirs de stockage cylindriques en acier.

À l'avant, au centre, on aperçoit une chaudière à vapeur, reconnaissable par ses hautes cheminées, qui alimenterait les appareils de forage.

À droite, une grande roue en bois est attachée à un balancier au-dessus. La roue assurera le mouvement de va-et-vient du balancier lors du forage pour le pétrole.

Informations d'arrière-plan

De nombreux foreurs internationaux ont travaillé au champ de pétrole de Yenangyaung en Birmanie (Myanmar moderne), dont William Gillespie et Arthur Brown qui ont joué un rôle dans la destruction du champ pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
