My dear Laithwaite,
With reference to your letter (P.Z. 7061/34) of the 19th
November relative to the calibration of the Bahrein oil tanks,
X agree that having regard to the letter from Messrs. Redwood
to Hamilton, a copy of which you enclosed, we csnnow agree
that the proposals embodied in paragraphs 6-8 of BaHantyne’s
letter of the 7th May provide a satisfactory procedure for
assessing the quantity of crude oil for royalty purposes.
I think it would be advisable to supply a copy of
Redwood’s letter to the authorities in Bahrein, the advantage of
this being that they will have on record the view of the
independent firm, which carried out the calibration of the tanks,
that the proposed, method of conversion is a satisfactory one.
The calibration tables merely provide data showing the quantity
of oil in American barrels which the tanks as measured were
estimated to hold, and the quantities at various depths, thus
making it possible to ascertain the quantity drawn off by
reference to a change in the level of the oil in the tanks.
Prom these ascertainments calculations have to be made to
convert the quantities into statute tons which is the basis of
the agreement for royalty purposes and the methods for doing
this which the Company have proposed we now agree.
As regards the checking of measurements, I have nothing
to add to my letter of the 20th October. But I have no
C
objection to offer to the suggestion you have made to Powle
in your letter to him of the 23rd November.
