Description
Caption on the back of the photograph reads, “Typical laboratory scene in the new Leovy Laboratory of Geophysics at Gulf Oil’s research center at Harmarville, Pa. Working in well lighted and pleasant surroundings, these workers are constructing and calibrating various instruments used in geophysical research. Approximately half of the 85,000 square feet of floor space in the new structure is devoted to research on geophysical methods while the remainder is used for analysis of geophysical data sent in by field crews.” Until 1985 and the merger of Gulf with Chevron Oil Company, Gulf Oil’s international headquarters for research and development was located approximately ten miles from downtown Pittsburgh in Harmarville, Pennsylvania. At these facilities chemistry related aspects of petroleum exploration, production and processing are conducted.
