Content

The file concerns applications by the Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO) to the Government of Bahrain for reservations of land for refinery purposes in addition to those reserved under the terms of Articles I and II of the Mining Lease dated 29 December 1934. The additional reservations, which largely covered uncultivated, but also some cultivated land, were required for refinery installation, pipeline and road rights of way, and drilling and operating water wells.

The papers include letters of application from BAPCO, describing the additional reservations required; blueprints (folios 12, 18, 23, 27); and correspondence from the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. , Bahrain forwarding the applications to the Government of Bahrain.
