Petrooleumi (Petrooleum)

Petroleum. Street created/named around 1904 after the Nobel Brothers’ petroleum depot. Albert did not make all his money from dynamite and gelignite, far from it: he and his brothers Ludvig (and later his son Emanuel) and Robert were among the world’s leading oil barons, with some 50% of global oil production coming from their company Branobel in Baku, Azerbaijan. Formerly known as Kerosini or Kerossini, part of an oil street-name group. See Bensiini.
