1934 ANNUAL REPORT
This report gives the status of all wells and a list of buildings
that have either been constructed or are in the course of construction,
as well as a statement as to the nationalities of all of the Company's
personnel in Bahrein. All of this information is as of 31st December,
1934,
There is also included with this report a copy of the Company's
map of Bahrein Island on which there has been marked in addition to the
well locations, the Company’s various facilities, pipe lines, pump
stations and camp sites.
Most of the buildings shown as being in the old camp will be
abandoned and dismantled after the construction work at the new camp has
been completed. In addition to the wells that were completed during
the year and the construction of the camps there was also corn dieted
during the year an oil gathering system in the field with a pump station
to pump the oil to the Island of Sitra, at which point terminal facili
ties were completed consisting of three large storage tanks, pump house,
etc,, as well as a submarine line extending into the Persian Uulf. The
Company have not given any details in this report concerning the facili
ties at sitra or the submarine line as plans and a description of these
facilities have already been furnished. There was also constructed
during the year a topping plant which is located near tank battery No. 1
as indicated on the general plan included herewith.
The work of constructing the gathering system terminal facilities
at Sitra and submarine line was done by a force of trained men who were
sent to Bahrein on a tanker. After the completion of this work the crew
sent for that purpose departed and the tanker left with a cargo of Bahrein
crude which was the first one shipped from this field. At the end of the
year 1934 plans were under way for the sale of additional cargoes of
crude oil approximating 110,000 barrels each (two cargoes have since been
transported and sold and it is anticipated that three more cargoes will
be shipped within the next six months).
You will note that the Company have not included a complete roster
of the employees by classifications since such rosters are furnished
periodically, ***
At the end of the year the Company were still continuing drilling
operations on several wells, as will be noted from this report.
