- Content
Map showing the area of Bahrain that the crude oil pipe line was proposed to traverse. The pipeline runs from the west coast of Bahrain between Kuraiya [Al Qurayyah] and Jasra [Al Jasrah] to the Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO)'s refinery on the west coast near Nuwaidrat [An Nuwaydirāt].
The pipeline is marked by two parallel ink lines and coloured red. Its direction is marked using longitute and latitude co-ordinates and distances in feet. Additional longitute and latitude markers are included near the village of Buri [Būrī] to show where the route had been revised.
A legend includes a dotted line showing gardens, a dashed line showing roads and a longer dashed line showing the boundary of BAPCO's concession area.
