Rare images of a gas terminal and pipeline under construction on the coast of Abu Dhabi in the late 1970s. With clear shots of Cylingas components, for decades the leading producer of gas distribution infrastructure (and acquired by Enoc in 2010). The album includes spectacular views of storage tanks, pipeline components, and an offshore platform, documenting still quite early stages of the UAE oil and gas industry.
Anonymously compiled by an English-speaking petroleum engineer who is possibly featured in one of the loosely inserted photographs at a lunch or dinner meeting at the Sphinx Holiday Inn, Egypt.
A rare survival.
A few tiny stains, otherwise excellent.
