Produced by George Pal, "Birth of An Oil Field" was directed by Duke Goldstone and released in 1949 by the Shell Oil Company. This film, part of a series of outstanding movies on the petroleum industry produced by Shell, explains and demonstrates methods, procedures, and equipment used in the drilling of oil wells and delivery of petroleum products worldwide.

The film contains outstanding footage of oil derricks and drilling, the Kelly Pipe, oil rigs, trains pulling oil tank cars, storage tanks, early oil tanker ships, and equipment. It also features a great deal of terrific animation including stop motion images of tools, clocks and workers, as well as images of the Empire State Building.

The movie gives a terrific explanation of how oil drilling was conducted in the 1940s, and shows the importance of using "mud" in the process, chemical and geological analysis of materials sucked up the drill pipe, and analysis of strata by experts to determine where to drill and how deep.
