"In 1859, when Edwin Drake and Wiliam Smith took their first steps in the oil industry and made the first drilling in Pennsylvania in the United States, the Łukasiewicz mine in Bóbrka already employed over 100 workers and achieved a turnover of 20,000 Rhenish zlotys a year. In the field of petrochemistry, Łukasiewicz was a respected authority of international fame. Entrepreneurs from Germany, Romania and the United States traveled to his mine, where they learned the secrets of his knowledge. There is a legend related to one of the visits that Americans paid to Łukasiewicz. The Polish inventor showed the Americans all the secrets of his company, the entire process from extraction to distillation. The Americans allegedly wanted to pay him for it at the time, but Łukasiewicz refused. The American who visited Łukasiewicz's enterprise with his associates was supposed to be ... John Rockefeller himself. The American entrepreneur was to call the Pole a "madman" - does he have valuable knowledge and share it for next to nothing? In 1883, a year after the death of Ignacy Łukasiewicz, 51,000 tons of crude oil were produced in the Polish Lands annually. At that time, Poland was the third oil power in the world, after the United States and Russia."
