Gela 1959: Pozzi a mare (1960)

Directed by Vittorio De Seta, Franco Dodi

Overview

The subsea well constructed in Gela in 1959 by Eni was the first of its kind in Europe. The facility consisted of two interdependent complexes: a steel platform on the sea floor and a support ship. The very viscous oil gushed from the Sicilian land to flow to collection centers.

Length 26 minutes
