The general theory was that the High Seas could not be
appropriated by States or individuals and though he thought
that there might he nothing to prevent the Company from "boring
anywhere they lilced in the bed of the sea below the High Seas,
so long as they did not thereby interfere with navigation or
fisheries, it seemed to him very doubtful if they would be
able to shut off a larger area than they needed for each shaft
and claim exclusive rights within that area. In other Yfords
they would not be able to appropriate an entire oil formation
below the High Seas or prevent anybody else from sinking
shafts adjoining their own. If, on the other hand, nobody
else did in fact sink any shafts, they might in course of time
acquire a prescriptive right to such a formation.
12. In conclusion, Mr. Mylles and his colleagues
emphasised the fact that the question was far from being
a cademic . Their researches pointed to the probability that
five or six large oil fields mig ht lie somewhere in the region
comprised by the flat country at the head of the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
and the adjacent sea and in a few years it might be technically
possible to tap the fields under the sea through even greater
depths of ?/ater than at present. It was quite possible that
in about ten years they night wish to start operations in
parts of the sea-bed lying as far as twelve miles from the
Persian Coast at the northern end of the
Persian Gulf
