The First Year of Activity of the Iranian Oil Operating Companies.

First edition of this rare internal report on Iranian oil production, commissioned by the Iranian Oil Exploration & Producing Company and the Iranian Oil Refining Company 4 years after the nationalization. WorldCat lists only 3 institutional copies, at Princeton, Durham, and Berlin. Established in 1951 and restructured in 1954, the National Iranian Oil Company owned the Iranian oil facilities, collaborating with a consortium of foreign companies to sell on the international market. This report is a summary of the first year of the consortium's activities. It discusses the background of the Iranian oil industry, the exploration and drilling of the Iranian Oil Exploration & Producing Co., the activity of the Iranian Oil Refining Company, administration, and the oil industry revenue. Like the Durham and Berlin copies, the present does not include Appendix C (1 leaf, graph of monthly oil production), and the loose list of illustrations, maps, and photographs listed in the Appendices section. Folio. Mimeographed document. Original printed wrappers, cloth-covered spine, paper envelope pasted to inner front wrapper, wire-stitched. Extremities a bit rubbed, outer edge chipped at foot, wrappers starting, but still firm, contents toned, a little marginal foxing: a very good copy.…
