Ceil Well, Baku, Azerbaijan: A Window into the Past of the World's Oldest Oil Industry This evocative photograph captures the Ceil Well, a historical oil well located in Baku, Azerbaijan. The image transports us back in time to the late 19th century when Baku was at the heart of the global oil industry. The wooden derrick, with its intricate lattice design, stands tall against the backdrop of the Caspian Sea, its rustic charm a stark contrast to the modern steel structures that dominate oil production today. The Ceil Well, named after the Ceil family who owned the land on which it stands, was one of the many wells that contributed to Baku's reputation as the 'Oil City.' The area's unique geological conditions made it an ideal location for hydrocarbon exploration, with the first oil wells in Baku being discovered as early as the mid-18th century. The discovery of oil in Baku led to a significant economic boom, attracting foreign investors and transforming the city into a bustling hub of industry and innovation. The oil industry's impact on Baku was far-reaching, shaping its urban landscape, social fabric, and even its cultural identity. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of oil production in Azerbaijan and serves as a reminder of the crucial role that this small country played in the global oil industry's evolution. The Ceil Well may no longer be in operation, but it remains a symbol of the past and a source of pride for the people of Azerbaijan.
