4to (28 x 23 cm). 4 vols. Together ca. 240 ff. With 23 (folding) maps and charts bound among the text and another 22 folding maps and charts housed separately (as Appendix 1 and "Enclosures"). Original gilt lettered khaki buckram bindings contained in matching solander case with (broken) leather clasps. An unpublished, highly detailed typescript report on the geological structures of the Arabian Peninsula with respect to their offshore petroleum potential, particularly remarkable for the various scientific maps which detail stratigraphic and tectonic features along with oil fields not only in Oman, but also in the Emirates. Based on exploration records, petroleum geologists' long-standing expertise, and reconnaissance surveys on the ground and from the air, this report reflects the major scientific effort put into building a sustainable oil industry in the 1960s. - Includes 4 large scale (ca. 108 x 140 cm) aerial reconnaissance maps of the Emirates and Oman, illustrating geology, tectonics, oil fields, and stratigraphic surface sections (Enclosures 1, 7, 11, 12). All indicate that "boundaries in this area are undetermined", with a warning that "flying is prohibited over Saudi Arabian cities". While the Emirates' oil fields are not labelled, the geologic map shows the underlying Quaternary structure of fields such as Bu Hasa, Al Dabb'iya, Murban Bab, and Rumaitha. The map of the oil fields, however, indicates Murban Bab and the off-shore oil field Zakum. - Among the oil-rich areas distinctly shown on the maps is the Buraimi Oasis (Al-Buraymi or just Buraimi village), located in an area of intense tectonic movement and amidst a Quaternary, Cretaceous and eocene structure. In the 1950s the Buraimi Oasis saw an armed dispute between the rulers of Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Oman, the British and American governments with their respective declining and rising influence in the region (Britain then the caretaker of external affairs for a number of Gulf states), and the oil companies Aramco and IPC. After incursions by Aramco exploration parties into what was regarded as the territory of the Ruler of Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia laid claim to Buraimi and much of Abu Dhabi, occupying the Omani village of Hamasa in 1952. After a failed arbitration attempt in Geneva, the Saudis were forcefully removed in October 1955. The dispute continued to simmer for many years until it was finally settled in 1974 by an agreement, known as the Treaty of Jeddah, between Sheikh Zayed (then President of the UAE) and Faisal of Saudi Arabia. - Commercial quantities of petroleum were discovered in Oman in 1964, and oil was first exported in 1967; subsequently, the production and export of oil rapidly came to dominate the country's economy. The introduction of reflection seismic techniques (fol. 99) in the 1960s led to the discovery of four giant oil fields, one of which also contained a large volume of non-associated gas, in the north of the country. - Never published for public consumption and probably issued only for a small circle of executives. Prepared and signed by the geologist J. A. Christensen for Superior Oil Company, an American oil company founded in 1921 in Coalinga, California. Superior Oil began as a drilling contracting firm and grew into the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. The concern was later absorbed into Mobil. - Some maps with marginal tears. Light wear to binding's extremities, one fastening screw missing. The entire set very well preserved, housed in the original custom case. - Not in OCLC.

6 telegram folios (208 x 304 mm), dated 6 to 18 January 1922, pinned together with a cover note marked "very confidential" with the oval embossed seal of the Government of India. Includes a Grant of the Dignity of a Companion of "the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire" to Eardley Garforth Bryan Peel, issued by King George V, dated 2 June 1923, signed by the King and by Viscount William Peel as Secretary of State for India, to acknowledge the services rendered to secure British interests in the southern provinces of Persia. Stored loosely in later dark green calf document holder box, spine stamped in gold "Residency Ahwaz Bushire 1922/3" (257 x 375 mm). A collection of confidential Anglo-Persian diplomatic cables relating to the appointment of Eardley Garforth Bryan Peel (1888-1976) as British Consul General at Ahwaz (Southern Iran) in view of his good relations with the Bakhtiari Khans, Sheikh Khazal of Mohammerah and the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC). - This group of important telegram exchanges from Percy Lyham Loraine (Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Tehran), Arthur Prescott Trevor (Consul General at Bushehr, Southern Iran), and the Indian Political Service at Delhi, are pinned together with a cover note dated 18 January 1921, marked "very confidential" and bearing the stamp of the Government of India, indicating their subtle and yet relevant relation. They testify to the British government's shift of alliance from Sheikh Khazal of Mohammerah to Reza Khan and the central government in Tehran. The Grant of Dignity appointed to Peel further emphasises the connection between this prominent stakeholder and British oil interests. Thus, this collection plays a crucial role in shedding light and understanding the 'behind the scenes' of British foreign politics related to the protection of their oil fields in Khuzestan, and their procurement and management of Iranian oil in the first two decades of the 20th century. - Ever since the British discovery of oil in the Southern Iranian Province of Khuzestan in 1908, and the formation of the APOC the following year, a fine balance was maintained by knowledgeable British Consuls General between the Bakhtiari leaders, seated in Bushehr, and the powerful Sheikh Khazal (who inherited the Emirate of Mohammarah in 1897), seated at Mohammarah. The Khans and the Sheikh, ruler of Arabistan, received annual payments, political support, as well as arms and munitions from the British in return for guaranteeing support and protection of British interests against external attacks and providing security for the oil establishment. Until Reza Shah's rise to near-absolute power and his coup d'état of 1921, the Iranian government had little control of the de facto autonomous province of Khuzistan and their local leader. This explains why all of Loraine's formal and informal efforts, as British Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Iran from 1921 until 1926, were directed towards achieving the peaceful submission of Britain's Southern Iranian allies to the regime in Tehran. - In such delicate circumstances and given the inevitability of a conflict between the burgeoning central government in Tehran and the Southern Iranian tribal powers, the re-appointment of Eardley Garforth Bryan Peel, whose term of office at Ahwaz had ended in 1921 at the same time Loraine assumed office at Tehran, became a necessity to be able to mediate between the two litigious parties. In fact, Peel was the only person who not only had an in-depth understanding of the situation but was trusted by all members involved. As shown in our telegrams, the Indian Political Service at Delhi not only accepted Loraine's advice to allow Peel to remain Consul General at Ahwaz but also nominated him to receive a British CIE order. Peel proved a skilled negotiator and succeeded in his mission of yielding a peaceful transition of power in Southern Persia and avoiding any threats to British interests in the o.
