Oil well No. 17 AR Moreni Sud was spud by Astra Romana company on the Tuicani Plateau in the year 1915. The depth of the well was 320 meters. On the Eischer photo the name of the oil well is written on a metal plate mounted halfway up one leg of the derrick ( the metal plate is faceing the other side ). There are three well behind and the left one was in drilling at that time - oil well No. 258 AR . At the drilling derricks all sides were closed with planks. Pleasa and Cristianu hills can be seen in the distance.
