of the more volatile (i.e. more

duds; (3) lower co£t of plant,
chemicals and administration; and (4) more
economic labour, allowing for the greater
efficiency of the British artisan—in short, all the
advantages which have led to this country
importing pradically the whole of its raw
materials and manufaduring them into finished
produds, some of which are even profitably
re-exported to the countries from which the
raw materials were originally obtained.
A second refinery is now nearing com
pletion at Grangemouth for the supply of the
Scottish market. This is a smaller Llandarcy
and embodies the latest improvements in refinery
Strudure and pradice gained in the treatment of Persian
oils. It will have, when running at full capacity, a
throughput of 250,000 tons of crude oil a year.
A third refinery of a similar type with a capacity
of 180,000 tons per annum has been ereded at Douai,
in France, by the French Company which has undertaken
the distribution of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company’s
produds in that country.

The file includes: correspondence dated 1933 to 1935 from the British Consul at Kermanshah, reporting progress of the construction of APOC’s oil refining facilities at Kermanshah; correspondence dated 1939 and 1940 reporting on the Shah of Persia [Reza Shah Pahlavi] and his Government’s efforts to renegotiate the terms of the APOC concession, in light of the heightened strategic importance of APOC’s oil production to Britain during wartime conditions; correspondence dated 1941 reporting on wartime developments, the likelihood of German occupation of Iran, and the threat to APOC oil production in the country. The file also includes: two bound and printed copies of the APOC Concession 1933-1993, printed in French and English, and accompanied by a fold-out map of the concession area (ff 127-149, ff 150-172); an illustrated brochure, published by APOC in 1924 to commemorate the company’s stand at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924 (ff 109-126).
