1941 ANNUAL REPORT
Introduction:
This report summarizes the activity of The Bahrein Petroleum Company Limited on
Bahrein Island during the year 1941. It also presents in tabulated form (1) the status
of all oil and water wells, (2) the purpose, size and type of all buildings (3) the na
tionality and number of employees in the various phases of activity and (4) the monthly
oil production and daily average water production by months during the year under review.
The attached map shows the location of wells, camps, pump stations, pipe lines,
roads and other miscellaneous facilities.
FIELD DEVELOPMENT & WELL REPAIR
Development:
No work of a development nature has been undertaken during the year. The main
First and Second Pay producing zones are provided with sufficient points of withdrawal to
afford satisfactory drainage of the main reservoir within the recognized producing area.
Structurally low First Pay Wells drilled and completed during the years 1939 and
1940 have provided valuable data regarding the areal extent of the First Pay producing zones
and their ability to produce. The application of data obtained from a laboratory investi
gation conducted with the view of improving technique in the acidation of these formations
may eventually permit increasing production sufficiently to warrant further development of
this pay.
Repair:
The correction of any unsatisfactory mechanical condition which may be detri
mental to the field and which is consistent with good operating practice has continued to
be the policy governing well repair work.
Two major repair programs dictated by this policy were conducted during the year.
In one of these the unsatisfactory condition was rectified and the well is now standing
pending a favorable opportunity to complete. The other is nearing completion and, when
this has been accomplished, will remove the last outstanding unsatisfactory mechanical
condition in the field.
In addition to these major repair jobs the source of water was located in one well
and successfully plugged off.
A number of the larger wells have also been worked on to provide additional pro
tection in the event of damage to surface connections.
PRODUCTION
The total oil production during 1941 amounted to 6,794,157 net barrels, a daily
