1934Best.-Nr. 194745London: Iraq Petroleum Company Limited 1934. Supplying Europe with Middle East oil First edition celebrating the construction of this critical oil artery. It discusses the history of the project its engineering and logistics challenges and the local diplomacy required to receive the necessary permissions. The many photographic illustrations show the pipeline at various stages of completion and profile the company employees that planned and organised this feat. In 1927 the Iraq Petroleum Company discovered a rich oilfield at Kirkuk and began to extract and transport crude at a never-before-seen scale. First the British proposed to connect Kirkuk with Haifa in Mandatory Palestine. However the French government demanded that the oil instead be sent to Tripoli so a twin pipeline was conceived that could service both ports. The pipes were 30.5 centimetres in diameter could carry a million tons of oil a year each and were supported periodically by 12 pumping stations. The two lines were constructed in parallel from Kirkuk to the city of Haditha the location of Pumping Station K-3 where they split into the northern "T Line" and the southern "H Line". Construction began in 1932 and was completed by 1934 on a budget of approximately £10000000. "Materials from overseas exceeded 200000 tons and building materials obtained locally at least equalled that" p. 2 The oil flowed until 1948 when the formation of the state of Israel led the Iraqi government to cut off the Haifa branch. This work details not just the construction of the pipeline but the communications infrastructure water supply transport routes and medical services that supported the workers. Chapter 13 discusses the company's land purchases employment of local labourers and artisans coverage in the press and work in the desert where they both employed and often had to guard against members of local tribes.

1865Best.-Nr. 377852Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co 1865. Second edition revised and enlarged. 153pp. 12mo. Publisher's brown cloth blocked in blind spine lettered in gilt. Second edition revised and enlarged. 153pp. 12mo. The second edition considerably enlarged published the same year as the 95-page first edition. An interesting work on the oil fields of Pennsylvania Ohio and West Virginia with stories of early oils wells and their owners and how oil companies operate. The first oil well in the United States was drilled by E. L. Drake in Oil Creek Pennsylvania near Titusville in 1859 and America's first oil rush ensued peaking in the late 1860s. The Titusville population exploded from 250 residents in 1860 to over 10000 in little more than five years. Output of crude went from 2000 barrels in 1859 to 4000000 barrels in 1869. The present work is one of the earliest separate publications on the American oil industry still in its infancy. "This is a good history of the oil development thus far in Pennsylvania with much shorter accounts of the West Virginia Southern Ohio and Kentucky regions with a day-by-day account of a trip through the Pennsylvania oil region" Streeter.

1951Best.-Nr. M9730London c.1951-1953. Very Good mounted on contemporary linen. Notes: A very scarce wall map of Bahrain published jointly by the Royal Geographical Society and the Bahrain Petroleum Company. The map depicts roads tracks buildings cultivated areas marshland and the Bahrain Refinery. Major cities as Awali Manama Town and Muharraq Town are shown in detail. The map has three large insets of Muharraq Awali and Manama. Bahrain small Arab state situated in a bay on the southwestern coast of the Persian Gulf. It is an archipelago consisting of Bahrain Island and some 30 smaller islands. Its name is from the Arabic term al-baḥrayn meaning “two seas.” The economy has long relied on processing crude oil from neighbouring countries and more recently the financial commercial services and communications sectors have grown markedly as has tourism. Britain’s decision to withdraw all of its forces from the gulf in 1968 led Bahrain’s independence in August 1971. A treaty of friendship was signed with the United Kingdom terminating Bahrain’s status as a British protectorate.
