Second edition. Extremely scarce illustrated handbook on the history and endeavours of the Arabian American Oil Company in Saudi Arabia. Prepared by Aramco for their Saudi employees, its rarity exceeds that of all bilingual Aramco publications of the early years. Comprises striking photographs of Aramco headquarters at Dhahran, housing for employees, Dammam port, Ras Tanura refinery and port, the gas injection plants in Abqaiq and Ain Dar, artificial earthquakes, offshore platforms, the strenuous haulage of drilling rigs through the desert, trains speeding through the sands, and even a group of firefighters in action.
Wrappers somewhat worn. Interior very well preserved.
Not in OCLC.
