1948183725London: Compiled in the Companies' Head Office 1948. An informative survey of the Middle East and its oil industry First edition of this excellent handbook for IPC employees outlining the operations and expanding importance of the petroleum industry and surveying the history and current condition of states in Arabia the Gulf and the Levant. Chapter 1 describes the IPC's formation the mechanisms for opening a new concession the history of its prospecting and extraction projects and the Mediterranean pipeline. A chapter on the culture of the Arab world is followed by regional breakdowns that draw on company and government reports. Concerning the Gulf the handbook emphasizes the potential of oil exploration to transform the region. In Qatar where an oil field was discovered in the late 1930s "the population is scanty and wretchedly poor. The Company's present operations supply almost the sole source of wealth. The building of necessary roads jetties dwellings offices workshops stores and the like has advanced simultaneously with drilling" pp. 15 & 69. Accompanying the text are valuable plates showing IPC operations in Kirkuk and near Tripoli views of Qatar and Bahrain from the air and a well with head fittings and flow lines. The folding regional map details oil fields refineries and pipelines both built and projected. A useful tabular appendix summarizes the present state of the IPC's concessions including the area they cover and the rights granted as well as current exploration licenses. Octavo. Half-tone portrait frontispiece of King Faisal and 26 plates folding area map at rear maps in text. Original grey cloth spine lettered in red company logo in red on front board. Ownership inscription "L. B. Griffiths Tripoli 21.11.1948" on front free endpaper. Light sunning marking at head of front board top edge foxed: very good. hardcover
