Dear Sir,
The Company has received advice from its
New York Principals regarding liftings from Bahrein
over the next several months which necessitates
reducing the throughput of the refinery from the
present rate of S5,000 barrels per day to 20,000
barrels per day. The production of the Bahrein
field will be continued for the present at 15,000^
barrels per day, the imports from Saudi Arabia ueing
reduced from 10,000 to 5,000 barrels per day. It
may be necessary to reduce the throughput ox this
refinery still further in the future.
The following is quoted from a message^
received from Mr. Herron, President of The Bahrein
Petroleum Company Limited:
"On account of decrease in consumption all
markets and failure British Oil Companies
to recognise principle short haul between
Bahrein and Abadan and ?loss ox markets in
Australasia on account of applying principle
of short haul and lend lease that territory,
we expect crude running will be reduced to
SO,000 barrels per day, and all cracking
^Derations discontinued over next three
months and possibly for many months to come
with also possibility of further reduction".
The Conroany requests that you explain this
situation to His Highness The Shaikh of Bahrein and
inform him that it will he necessary to shut dov.n
the larger xiart of the Bahrein Refinery and ver^
considerably reduce the number of Bahrein subjects
employed by the Company; also that there may be
further reductions in royalty payments as a result
of the above.
Yours very truly,
