Pump Jack and Oil Derrick Photos - Oil Extraction in Romania

Pump jack & Oil derrick photos, images, oil extraction in Romania

Few people know that Romania was the first country in Europe to produce oil!

In fact, the first European oil refinery was built near here in 1898!

So, it's no surprise to find this derrick, still in operation, just 200 meters from the town center!

There are dozens of pumps like this one around and even within the city.
