Underneath Earth Is Turned Up As Fire

After thirteen years of exploratory drilling in offshore waters of Newfoundland and Labrador, oil was discovered in 1979.  Today, there are now three (soon to be four) oilfields which are producing crude oil for the province. The names of them are: Hibernia (production commenced 1997), Terra Nova (2002), White Rose (2010), and Hebron (2017).

The oil platform in these two pictures is the Terra Nova.

Newfoundland and Labrador's offshore oil industry contributed greatly to the provincial economy.

From the earth comes many valuable riches: food, oil and various kinds of precious jewels.

"The earth, from it comes food,

and underneath it is turned up as fire.

It's rocks are the source of sapphires

and its dust contains gold."

Job 28:5-6
