The interview between Melville and Nickerson is set in 1850. After that interview is over and Melville is leaving, the characters discuss the rumors that (petroleum) oil has been discovered in the ground. The discovery of oil in Titusville, PA, by Colonel Edwin Drake, occurred in August 1859, and is considered the beginning of the "oil from the ground" industry, and that was roughly 9 years after the interview took place. Abraham Gesner's first patent for kerosene was granted in 1854, also following the interview in the movie, and it was distilled from oil shale and bituminous coal.
