Petroleum-related cancellations
(stamps are not all shown to same scale)

Two Japanese pictorial cancellations depicting refineries
and storage tanks.

A 1995 Norwegian pictorial cancellation for the opening
of a new offshore production platform in the Troll field.

A pair of U. S. pictorial cancellations that include oil derricks
in their designs noting anniversaries of the founding of towns.
The upper one is from Gas City, Indiana, a town named for
its natural gas production.

Non-pictorial cancellations from towns
with petroleum-related names are of
interest to some collectors — this one
is from Oil Center, New Mexico.
