HISTORIC MILESTONES OF OIL FIELDS IN CANADA

Brief historic perspectives of petroleum discoveries in Canada.

1858 - Oil Springs, Ontario
James Miller Williams dug the first oil well in North America at Oil Springs, Ontario, in 1858, fully one year before the more famous Drake well in Pennsylvania. Although intended as a water well, when the Williams No. 1 well found free oil twenty metres below surface, it set off a flurry of activity which briefly made southwestern Ontario a world leader in petroleum drilling and production skills and technology.


1908 - Bow Island, Alberta
Spudded in 1908, Old Glory was the name of the discovery well which located the Bow Island gas field, the first major discovery in Alberta's earliest important commercial oil and gas exploration venture. Developing the field led to the first pipelines delivering natural gas to Alberta communities. Construction of a 16-inch pipeline from southwest of Medicine Hat to Calgary began on April 22, 1912 and was completed in only 86 days. A second leg reached Lethbridge on July 12, 1912.

The Bow Island pin depicts the celebration in Calgary on July 17, 1912, when 12,000 Calgarians gathered to watch Mrs. Eugene Coste - wife of the man who drilled Old Glory and founded Canadian Western Natural Gas - light the inaugural flare with a roman candle.

1914 - Dingman Well, Alberta
May 14, 1914, was a victorious day for Arthur W. Dingman as he and his associates savoured the fruits of their risk-taking. This puny success, the Dingman wet gas discovery, was the precursor for the deeper zone find. Drilled ten years later just a few kilometres away, Royalite No. 4 put Turner Valley on the oil and gas map.


Dingman Well #2, 1914


The Turner Valley Gas Plant is a Provincial and National Historic Site which is being preserved and reclaimed. This link will take you to more information on the Alberta Government's website in the Museums and Historic Sites section.

1920 - Norman Wells, Northwest Territories
Led by geologist Ted Link, in 1919 a crew of six drillers and an ox named "Nig" made a six-week 1900 kilometre journey northward by railway, river boat and on foot to the site now known as Norman Wells along the Mackenzie River. The ox helped to build a log house and put the drilling rig in place before being butchered to provide food for the drillers during the long cold winter. Drilling resumed in the spring with the world's most northerly oil discovery coming in on August 23, 1920.


First Imperial Oil well, Norman Wells, 1920



1920s - Oil Sands, Alberta
The world's largest known petroleum deposit, Alberta's oilsands were used as a caulking material and for other purposes by Indians, probably for thousands of years. But the first white explorer to note them was Peter Pond, who wrote in his diary in 1778 of "springs of bitumen which flow along the ground" near the intersection of the Clearwater and Athabasca rivers. During the 1920s, the Alberta Research Council's Dr. Karl Clark developed the hot water process used today to produce synthetic oil from strip mined bitumen at two plants near Fort McMurray.




1947 - Leduc, Alberta
Imperial Oil's February 13, 1947 landmark crude oil discovery at Leduc, 40 kilometres southwest of Edmonton, represented the beginnings of the modern oil industry in Canada.
