Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 16, 1969, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press monday june 16, 1969 today Turner Valley Oil found by electrician by Bow Bowman in a recent Story that there Are Many coincidences in Canadian history. One of them is on june 16. It was on this Date in 1892 that the Edmonton bulletin reported that Oil had been discovered in Alberta near St. Albert. The newspaper said in part whether or not the tar is a sure indication of a profitable Oil Field there is no doubt of the genuineness of the find and As Little doubt that it is not confined to that single it was on june 16, 1936, that the first Oil Well was brought into production in Turner Valley Alta. The Man who discovered it was r. A. Brown superintendent of the Calgary electric Light and Power development. There had been Oil exploration in the Turner Valley for a number of years but it was Small and Brown was convinced that there was a far More profitable Pool of Oil. He was an electric Engineer not a geologist and had difficulty getting people to put up Money for exploration. However two Oil companies eventually contributed and Brown got George m. Bell and ack w. Moyer to work with him. They had experience in Turner Valley. It was necessary to raise for equipment and this took another three years. Drilling began in 1934 but was stopped on seven occasions for Lack of Money. Finally during the evening of june 16, 1936, the rotary Rig reached a depth of feet and a Gusher of Green crude Oil hurtled into the air with a Roar. It was the deepest Well in Alberta at that time and produced 850 barrels of Oil a Day. More important it proved that Brown had been right in predicting that there was a Reservoir of crude Oil in Turner Valley. Nearly 200 Wells had been dug by 1941 but Alberta s Oil production was Handi capped by Lack of pipeline and refining facilities. The big Boom did t begin until 1947 when the Leduc Well farther North went into production.
