€ 1,500.00

An illustrated annual publication issued under supervision of the Iraqi Permanent Committee from the Ministry of Oil and Minerals, the Iraq National Oil Company (INOC) and the Iraq National Minerals Company, with INOC its primary author. INOC had been founded by the Iraqi government a mere four years before publication of this annual, after the acquisition of the concessions once belonging to the Iraq Petroleum Company.

The text itself provides a snapshot of this time of transition, between the end of IPC and the opening of the North Rumaila Field in 1972. Discussed herein are the social welfare efforts of the oil industry, including a literacy campaign and vocational training, the operations of oil exploration in 1970, the state of refineries, crude oil storage and transport, and the role of oil and minerals in the development of the country. Numerous graphs, charts, and illustrations, some folding, present relevant data from the latter half of the 1960s.

Ex-library markings and some annotations. Only one copy listed in institutions, at the BNF.
