1958163043Kuwait: 1958. A fitting gift for a veteran oil man This evocative image was likely captured at dawn and shows two Bedouin engaged in the daily Fajr prayer both wearing the traditional shemagh headdress . Although not marked as such this was presented to William K. Whiteford 1900-1968 president of Gulf Oil in 1958 - the 20th anniversary of the discovery of oil in Kuwait. In 1934 Gulf Oil formed an alliance with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company to create the Kuwait Oil Company. It received concession rights in 1934 started drilling in 1936 and discovered oil two years later in the massive Burgan oil field. In 1957 Whiteford was described by Time magazine as "burly aggressive Bill Whiteford who started as an oilfield roughneck out of Stanford University was brought into Gulf in 1951 from the presidency of Canada's British American Oil Co. Ltd. made chief administrative officer in 1953 under Sidney A. Swensrud who moved up from president to board chairman. Whiteford shook up Gulf's management strengthened its domestic and Western Hemisphere holdings firmly but unofficially took over much of the executive authority". 1958 was also the year in which Whiteford published a short in-house history Gulf and the World Oil Industry. The image of Bedouin at their sunrise prayers may be an intentional hommage to the dawn of the Kuwaiti oil industry.

654341981. Original large colour-printed map 76 x 103.5 cm with detailed key and legend. Compilation and cartography by Hunting Geology and Geophysics Limited. Generally in excellent condition. Kuwait becomes a Major Player in the Global Oil Industry This is a scarce large-format bilingual geological map of Kuwait prepared in 1981 by Hunting Geology and Geophysics for the Kuwait Oil Company. It was produced at a time when Kuwait's oil production was undergoing rapid changes including the creation of the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation KPC of which the Kuwait Oil Company became a subsidiary and expansion into international markets and the securing of vertical integration. The map covers the mainland of Kuwait along with the Bubyan and Failaka Islands using colour-shading to indicate a variety of sands gravels clay and stone as explained in the bilingual legends present at right which also indicate geological era. Lines and other notation are used to indicate geological and international boundaries fault lines wadis elevation contour lines roads depressions and intertidal and shoaling sand. Developed areas namely Kuwait City and some nearby coastal settlements are shaded grey. Additional supplementary information appears at right including a diagram and explanation of the local grid employed. Historical Context Upon gaining independence from the United Kingdom in June 1961 Kuwait inherited an oil industry dominated by the Kuwait Oil Company KOC a joint venture between British Petroleum and Gulf Oil. However like other emerging postcolonial states in the region Kuwait was determined to assert control over its primary resources. This effort began with the formation of the Kuwait National Petroleum Company KNPC in 1960 and the Petrochemical Industries Company PIC in 1963 which allowed the government to build domestic technical expertise. A major milestone of this era was the 1962 relinquishment agreement which forced foreign concessionaires to return 60 percent of their unexplored territories to the state paving the way for independent national exploration and the 1968 opening of the Shuaiba Refinery the world's first all-hydrogen refinery. The 1970s saw a shift from foreign partnership to total nationalization following the 1973 oil crisis and the subsequent surge in global prices. After an initial 'participation' agreement in 1972 that gave the state a 25 percent stake in KOC Kuwait moved for a full takeover by December 1975. By 1976 the state held 100 percent ownership of its oil assets allowing it to cap production to conserve reserves for future generations a policy that stood in contrast to the high-extraction strategies of foreign firms who further increased production as they sensed nationalization was in the offing. Thus the vast revenues generated by the oil industry were funneled directly into the Reserve Fund for Future Generations established in 1976 to provide long-term fiscal stability. They also financed a comprehensive welfare state providing citizens with free education healthcare and subsidized housing while transforming the capital of Kuwait City simply 'Kuwait' here into a modern metropolis. By the early 1980s Kuwait shifted its focus toward global integration and organizational efficiency. In January 1980 the government established the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation KPC as a centralized holding company to manage all aspects of the industry from upstream exploration to downstream retail. Kuwait became a pioneer among OPEC nations by aggressively expanding into international markets acquiring the American drilling and engineering giant Santa Fe International in 1981. This strategy continued with the acquisition of refining and retail networks in Europe laying the groundwork for the 1983 launch of the 'Q8' brand. Thus by the mid-1980s Kuwait had successfully established one of the most vertically integrated and professionally managed state oil industries in the world. Publication History and Census This map was compiled and drawn by Hunting Geology and Geophysics for the Kuwait Oil Company. It is quite scarce noted only in the holdings of the Colorado School of Mines the U.S. Geological Survey Library and the Library of Congress with no known market history. Cartographer Hunting Geology and Geophysics Ltd. 1952 - 1987 was a British surveying firm that specialized in cutting-edge methods of mapping especially aeromagnetic surveys and focused on discovering potential reserves of natural resources especially fossil fuels. It was part of the larger Hunting group originally founded in 1874 as a shipping company by Charles Hunting and later moving into aircraft surveying and petroleum. Companies within the Hunting group frequently merged with each other and with outside acquisitions leading to frequent name changes; in this case Hunting Aerosurveys founded 1944 merged with Hunting Geophysics founded 1952 to form Hunting Surveys in 1960. In 1965 a public company was formed called Hunting Associated Industries Ltd. which included Hunting Surveys Holdings Ltd. but not a new entity Hunting Geology and Geophysics Ltd. which remained part of the privately-owned Hunting Group. In 1987 Hunting Geology and Geophysics Ltd. was closed down in a consolidation process that saw the public company now Hunting plc buy out the Hunting Group though the Hunting family retains a significant share of the company's stock and one of its members remains Chairman of the Board. Hunting Geophysics and later Hunting Geology and Geophysics Ltd. made pioneering surveys of Great Britain itself along with several countries in Central Africa seeking uranium and other minerals the Philippines Ethiopia and especially countries in the Middle East where the company conducted critically important surveys that helped to develop the lucrative oil industries of the United Arab Emirates Qatar and Kuwait among others.

1952ABC_46142Al Ahmadi: Kuwait Oil Company 1952. Loose sheets stapled together at the left top corner with holes punched in the left margin. Small folio 33 x 20.5 cm. Duplicated typescript printed on the rectos only in purple ink probably with a spirit duplicator. Unrecorded information guide for new employees of the Kuwait Oil Company KOC who would be residing in Al Ahmadi headquarters of the Company. The Kuwait Oil Company was founded in 1934 a joint venture between the British Anglo-Persian Oil Company and the American company Gulf Oil. In the same year the sheik of Kuwait Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah reigned 1921-1950 granted them rights to the oil concession which they were to retain until 1975. The first oil was discovered in 1938 in Burgan field followed by discoveries in Magwa in 1951 Al Ahmadi in 1952 and many more regions. In 1946 the first commercial shipment took place. Because the initial development of the KOC coincided with the end of the British Raj in India many British and Indian people in its service were transferred to Kuwait in particular to Al Ahmadi. Al Ahmadi was set up to house these workers.This unrecorded guide is quite rare especially because it seems to be a quite cheaply produced and ephemeral document which was issued only in small numbers for in-house circulation.At some places very slightly frayed and creases along the edges and corners staple a little rusted leaves slightly toned some leaves a little cut short at the foot with no loss except for some of the catch-words but overall in remarkably good condition. A rare and unrecorded guide for employees of the Kuwait Oil Company in Ahmadi. Kuwait Oil Company, unknown
1963169036Kuwait: Matba at hukumat al-kuwayt 1963. Kuwaiti oil policy in the state's earliest years First edition first printing of this rare pamphlet which is at once a statistical record of Kuwaiti oil production and a policy document arguing for oil as the key factor in the development of the country. When this pamphlet was published Kuwait had only been independent for about two years. The text is accompanied by a superb fold-out map showing the state's oil fields and the companies that ran them at the time. Following a very brief outline of Kuwait's geography climate and history the first chapter is devoted to oil production. Kuwait is named as the fourth-largest producer of oil in the world after the United States the Soviet Union and Venezuela. Subsequent sections are given over to each of the five oil companies operating on Kuwaiti territory: Kuwait Oil Company Ltd Aminoil Japan's Arabian Oil Company Shell Kuwait and Kuwait National Petroleum Company. The most expansive sections give precise information on how many fields and wells the companies ran how many barrels each field produced per year and the annual volume of exports by country with accompanying fold-out colour bar charts. The second chapter is devoted to revenues again broken down by company and details the concessions paid by the American and Japanese concerns to the state of Kuwait. The third chapter discusses Kuwaiti oil policy including the state's role in the foundation of OPEC in 1960 to avoid unilateral decreases in the price of oil as well as its commitment to train home-grown talent in the oil sector and thereby reduce dependence on foreign expertise. Octavo. With 6 black and white illustrations 3 fold-out colour bar charts fold-out colour map. Text in Arabic. Original white wrappers wire-stitched as issued lettered and illustrated in black. Wrappers nicked rear wrapper split at head and soiled along the spine fold-out map nicked. A very good copy. unknown
