A historical archive of a 1970s oil-well firefighting and blowout-control team, with photographs, people, documents, and event timelines.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The archive links named participants to specific places and incidents rather than presenting an undifferentiated company history. Its timeline records Wayman Bell’s move to Rock Springs in 1976, drilling work south of Green River in early 1977, and two 1978 emergencies: the Point of Rocks blowout and a Union Pacific derailment fire. The homepage also identifies the equipment used to control the gas well, including heavy drilling mud and a Halliburton pump truck.
