' The Oilfields Of Britain.

' The Oilfields Of Britain. War-time results obtained from the new Eakring Oilfield situated near Newark demonstrate the great asset which home-produced oil could be to peace-time industry. Twenty-six million gallons of oil a year were pumped from Britain's indigenous wells to assist in combatting the Nazi U-boat menace. Once the well is drilled, all unsigntly plant and derricks are removed. The pump, which conveys the oil to a central collecting point, is a very unobtrusive affair occupying about the same space as a domestic garage, thus refuting the claim that the plant would mar the view of some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes.

From here it goes by a larger pipeline to a nearby railway depot, and then by rail-tank to the refinery. 31.7.45. '
