1963rif. 169036Kuwait: 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

1936rif. 13134Houston: W.W. Zingery 1936. Blueline map 36.25 x 59 inches. Minor edge wear light spotting some uneven toning to left and right margins outer edges of map lined with protective plastic. Overall very good condition. Expansive and seemingly unrecorded map of the northern portion of Tyler County Texas which is located northeast of Houston near the Louisiana border. The county is bounded in the north and east by the Neches River. Ownership plots are individually delineated noting both the owner and often the acreage as well as the companies active within each plot. The map is noted throughout with active oil companies most notably the Houston Oil Company Sun Humble Magnolia Petroleum Allied Petroleum and Pure Oil. In addition a key in the upper right portion of the margin indicates the locations of rig ups drilling producing and gas wells dry holes and abandoned sites. Interestingly at the time lumber companies seemed to be just as prevalent in Tyler County as oil companies; this certainly changed as Tyler County is still a significant area for oil and gas production today. We find no record of this map in OCLC. W.W. Zingery unknown

Binding slightly worn with mild damp stains on the right margin of the front board one page detached several photos age-toned and with mild silvering but overall a very good album with strong interesting photos. Historically significant album of rare original gelatin silver photographs taken and collected during the Nordvik-Khatanga Soviet Oil Exploration Expedition in 1939-1940. The compiler took part in the expedition together with his wife “Sonkes” who according to the photographs was head of a tailor's workshop at the expedition base camp in Nordvik. Neither reports nor official photographs from the expedition were found through our research of digital archives and libraries. The expedition organized by the USSR’s Main Directorate of the Northern Sea Route at the onset of WWII aimed to study the oil potential of Nordvik Bay. A team of polar explorers set sail from Arkhangelsk on a steamship accompanied by a cargo convoy and powerful icebreakers. Navigating through the Yugorsky Shar Strait the expedition made several stops at Dixon Melyuskin and Vstrechny Islands before establishing its base in Nordvik Bay. Despite extensive operations drilling at Nordvik over the next seasons proved largely unsuccessful revealing only small oil pockets with little commercial value. The album contains 130 lively vernacular photographs from the 1939-1940 expedition including eight well-executed photos of the expedition base camp and its premises the general view of the settlement main street local bathhouse and canteen. About ten photographs portray construction works as the team members attempted to build rotor No. 2. The images depict the site of the rotor “the beginning of the work” workers pulling out a tankette from snow digging and using special equipment. There are also about a dozen photographs showing the general view of rotor No. 1 - “the first in the world in Arctic conditions” “a boiler room for rotor No. 1” “a rotor drilling rig No. 1 with machinery room” “steam winch 250 hp for rotor No. 1” “oil drilling rigs” “general view of a coal mine” etc. At least forty lively candid photographs show the expedition members mostly the compiler and his wife sewing at a tailor’s workshop resting after work feeding dogs and posing by a tankette on sleds in tents at a meteorological station by the storage room near the assembly crane etc. Especially interesting are five photos of a fire at a local hospital documenting the funeral of deceased polar explorers and the compiler standing solemnly beside the victims’ camp. There are also about ten candid individual and group portraits of local Yakuts showing “Sonkes with a young Yakut woman” “Yakut Family and Sonkes” “Yakut Man with a Purchase” young Yakut women in a school reading books and Yakut fishermen posing by their camp. The other interesting photos portray the expedition members at the October and May rallies with “Sonkes” clearly visible in the crowd four and two-engine seaplanes at Cape Kosisty “bird market on Vstrechny Island” steamships “Stalingrad” “Dixon” etc. and icebreakers “Ermak” “Litke” etc. from the expedition etc. The album closes with the general views of the bank of the Khatanga River the town Igarka and the Krasnoyarsk pillars. Overall historically important collection of 130 original gelatin silver photographs documenting the 1939-1940 Soviet Oil Exploration Expedition to Nordvik Bay. hardcover

1958rif. 163043Kuwait: 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. Original colour photograph measuring 232 x 347 mm; mounted and glazed in brown wood frame by the Kendrick Bellamy Company Denver overall 407 x 507 mm. Pencilled date below framer's label "5-14-57".

1948rif. 183725London: 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. Halftone 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.
