Abstract
One of three boys, Ed Collins was born in 1924 in Laurel, Mississippi. His father owned a plumbing business. While in high school he roughnecked a bit on a drilling rig and worked as a rod man on a survey crew. After graduating high school and serving during World War Two, he spent a semester at Mississippi State before studying petroleum engineering at Louisiana State University; he graduated with his degree in 1949. After graduating from LSU, he found himself in a saturated job market and was lucky to get a job was Magnolia Petroleum Company where he first worked as an engineer in Snyder, Texas. He worked at a variety of oil businesses including Wilshire Oil Company of Texas, Vickers Petroleum Company in Kansas and Colorado, and Alco Oil and Gas Company. Relocating to Lafayette, he took a job with Vickers as a consultant, started venturing out on his own as an independent, and he became involved in buying and selling leases and royalties. In 1963 he started a sugar cane bagasse (product used in drilling mud) processing factory in Belle Rose, Louisiana. In the late 1970s, he sold the company to Venture Chemical Company, but was involved with Venture until they were sold in the early 1980s. He discusses why Alco Oil and Gas made the decision to centralize their company in Lafayette and not other cities, as well as the Lafayette community.
