One of the last stages in drilling the first oil well in Kuwait on April 13, 1953. What may prove to be another oil producing field in the oil-rich Middle East is being developed after oil was struck in the Neutral Zone, south of Kuwait on March 23, 1953. The discovery was made by American Independent Oil Companies (Aminoil) jointly with Pacific Western Oil Company who cooperated in drilling. (AP Photo)
