58310Washington D.C.: The US Geological Survey 1963. 129.5 x 185.5 cm. Original chromolithographed folding map laid onto new linen. Excellent condition. Large and detailed map depicting the geology of the Arabian Peninsula. The search for oil on the Peninsula started in 1933 when the Saudi Arabian government granted an oil concession to Standard Oil Co. of California which was later joined by Texaco buying a 50% stake in the concession. Geologists soon followed to start the surface mapping of the area and beyond achieving by 1937 a broad understanding of the region's geological strata. The first test to yield oil was in Dhahran on 4 March 1938. After a hiatus during WWII the activity of surveying and test-drilling resumed with reinvigorated effort. Aerial photography was introduced in 1949 and proved an invaluable tool for the surveying. In 1954 the US Geological Survey and Aramco the Arabian American Oil Company began work on a series of geological and geographic maps which would incorporate the data collected over the years. The project was sponsored by the US Department of State and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The effort resulted in 1:500000-scale geologic sheets and a 1:200000-scale geological map of the Arabian Peninsula and the base topographical map — the present maps. The geological map delineates the strata of the peninsula with colour codes in two tables on either sides and text within the blank regions of Eastern Africa and Iran. A paper to accompany the map and further explain the geology was published in 1966 by the US Geological Survey.

192012758Fort Worth: Standard Blue Print Map & Eng. Co 1920. Very good. Folding map 25.75 x 25.75 inches on thin paper. Old folds minor edge wear several short closed edge tears a couple of small areas of loss at crossfolds. Overall good condition and a wonderful display item. A rare and detailed Texas oil map produced by a Fort Worth firm just after World War I and here present in the larger 25-x-25-inch issue advertised in the promotional text on the map itself. The map shows the distribution of oil wells and derricks across the Lone Star State in 1920 prints the names of the most prominent oil fields and lists the names of Texas counties along with the oil companies active in each county. The map also shows the types of soil and rock deposits encountered throughout Texas counties with a legend of abbreviations for each at bottom right. The area of the map is crowded in places but still quite attractive and legible and is a good encapsulation of the rapidly developing oil industry in Texas at the time. Contemporary advertisements for the publisher of this map Standard Blue Print Map and Engineering promote the availability of over 200 oil maps of Texas Oklahoma New Mexico Louisiana and Arkansas from the firm. A rare map rarer still in this larger size; we locate just two copies at SMU one issued with a slightly later "May 1920" copyright notice with a larger "photocopy" reported at Denver Public Library and the Colorado School of Mines.

187383Abu Dhabi: 1987. Geology and oil fields A rare set of large blueprints produced by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. ADNOC with stratigraphic cross-sections of the Habshan formation in the Thamama Group in western and central Abu Dhabi. We have traced no other similar blueprints institutionally or on the market. Issued by the ADNOC geologists Abdullah al-Habshi and Mohammed M. Abd al-Sattar in May 1987 the blueprints provided the results of experiments in the gamma ray porosity correlation of the Habshan formation in order to clarify the rock type and composition of onshore and offshore oil fields including Umm Salsal West Mubarras Zakum Abu al-Bukoosh Bab and Sahil. While Abu Dhabi's oil production had slowed down markedly during the 1980s the reorganization of ADNOC in 1988 and the start of the Gulf War in 1990 prompted a sharp increase in output particularly in the areas covered by these blueprints. Nine blueprints from 130 x 40 mm to 233 x 40 mm folding into 285 x 200 mm numbered 1-9 sequentially. Small inset maps to folded verso c.10 vertical charts per map. Text in English occasional Arabic. Preserved in archival box. Inset map highlighted in ink. Occasional slight marginal soiling or small tears at folds: very good copies. unknown
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.
