Caspian Sea oil rigs
Caspian Sea oil rigs, old and new. Oil rigs are used to drill for and pump oil from below the Earths surface. Oil is the fossil fuel that powers much of the worlds cars and industries, and which is also used to produce materials like plastics. Several " nodding donkey" oil pump designs are seen here. The Caspian Sea is an oil- rich region. Photographed in July 2004, on the Caspian Sea coast near Baku, Azerbaijan

2004 Azerbaijan Coast Energy Fossil Fuel Fuels July Oil Rig Pump Baku
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Caspian Sea oil rigs, capturing both old and new structures that dot the horizon. These towering metal giants serve a crucial purpose in drilling for and extracting precious oil reserves hidden beneath the Earth's surface. Oil, being the primary fossil fuel powering our cars and industries, holds immense significance in today's world. The image highlights several "nodding donkey" pump designs, which rhythmically extract black gold from deep within the ground. This technological marvel symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of energy resources to sustain our ever-growing needs. The Caspian Sea region itself is renowned for its abundant oil reserves, making it a vital hub in global energy production. Photographed during July 2004 on the picturesque coast near Baku, Azerbaijan, this snapshot beautifully captures an industrial landscape blending with nature's serene beauty. The summer sun casts a warm glow over these imposing structures as they stand tall against the backdrop of calm blue waters. In this single frame lies a visual representation of how 21st-century technology intertwines with natural resources to power our modern lives. Beyond fueling transportation and industry, oil also serves as a raw material for producing essential materials like plastics that shape various aspects of our daily existence. This remarkable photograph is part of Science Photo Library's collection—an awe-inspiring testament to human ingenuity and our reliance on fossil fuels to drive progress forward into uncharted territories.
