Discovered in 1958 by a company which would give birth to ELF AQUITAINE then to the current TOTAL group, the Chailly oil field, located largely under the Fontainebleau forest, was exploited until June 1986. The oil was sent to the ELF ANTAR refinery at Grandpuits in Seine et Marne via an underground pipe (pipeline) after having been separated from its deposit water reinjected at depth at the Faÿ station (find out more). In 28 years of operation, the 48 wells at Chailly produced 1,500,000 m² (9,434,000 barrels) of crude oil, corresponding to a recovery of approximately 37% of initial reserves. Similar on this site are a number of petroleum equipment (drilling tool, wellhead, casing sections, rod pumping units) intended to recall the history of petroleum activity in the forest of Fontainebleau.
