Mr. C. J. Pelly,
Political Agent,
Political Agency,
Manama, Bahrain.
Dear Sir:
This letter and the attached sketch is furnished you as a
result of our recent discussion regarding permission by
His Majesty f s Government to the commencement of geophysical
work by The Superior Oil Co., and the Central Mining and
Investment Corporation Limited in that portion of their
Qatar Concession outlined on the attached sketch prior to
November 7, 1950.
The attached sketch shows roughly the following:
Point A, 27° N. and 51°20 t E, the northwestern extremity
of the area approved Sept.8,1950, by His Majesty T s
Government for geophysical work by the Operators of the
Qatar marine concession.
Point B, a point north of Has Rakan and on the outer
limit of the territorial water belt off the coast of
Qatar. This point was also established by His Majesty's
Government's letter of Sept. 8,1950. The line AB thus
becomes the west line of the area presently approved by
His Majesty's Government for geophysical work on this
concession.
The line BC represents roughly the outer limit of the
territorial waters belt off the northwest coast of Qatar.
The line CD has as I understand previously been fixed
by His Majesty's Government in roughly the position
shown on the sketch as one of the dividing lines between
Bahrain and Qatar.
The line DE has also previously been fixed I understand
by His Majesty's Government in approximately the position
shown on the sketch as another of the dividing lines
between Bahrain and Qatar.
The line EF is an extension of the line DE northward
and is shown in its position on the sketch for simplicity
only. The final boundary should fall to the west of
line EF and extend northward beyond latitude 27°N.
Point F is therefore placed in its position on the sketch
