About this Item

"Just as you have to open an oyster to see whether there is a pearl inside, so you have to drill into a subsurface structure to find out whether or not it contains oil" (p3). Original colour illustrated wraps 17x23cm. Printed by Farhad al Mazrzouk Est, Kuwait. 16pp with several b/w photos, and b/w and colour diagrams. Near fine. This educational brochure dated January 1970, explains the various aspects of drilling for oil in Kuwait, distinguishing wells in the south-east (such as the Burgan field) and the north, supported by photos of KOC's own installations and operations. Very rare - Worldcat and Library Hub record an earlier c1950s edition, and an undated Spanish edition only.
