Mr. Butterworth, a technical expert of the standard Oil
Company, of California, had an interview with Mr. Starling on
Ceptember 25th, 1933. Mr. J.L. Jeffery and Mr. H.P.W. Biffard
were also present.
IjfTy. Ptarlin^ explained that this meeting had been arranged
at Mr. Ballantyne's request in order that the technical aspects
of the application nade by the Bahrein Petroleum Company for an
extension of the prospecting licence for a further period of one
year froa December next might be discussed with the Petroleum
apartment by a technical representative of the Company.
Mr, Butterworth said that was his understanding of the
position. In reply to a question by Mr. Starling he explained
that he had no direct knowledge of Bahrein. He brought no
documents with him, and he did not appear to have been furnished
with any of the Company^ geological reports or details of the
well records. ife said the position had been broadly indicated
to him, and he understood that he would be allowed to see copies
of the documents which the Company had supplied to H .M. Government,
tifi tarllfl^ accordingly briefly explained the position in
regard to the Agreement which the Company had with the Sheikh,
and Ir. But terworth was shown a copy of the Company's report
ana a map of Bahrein indicating the position of the wells. After
looking at the data submitted to him Butterworth said that,
although the results obtained in the first two wells might be
regarded as encouraging, a good deal of further and perhaps
deeper drilling would, in his view, be necessary in order to
define the extent ol the field and to enable the Company to
make an advantageous selection of areas. For this he
con. idered that a further extension of the prospecting licence
woulu be rece sary. For instance, he thought it would be
desirable/
