JP 16 od reso urces of the country deserve special mention,
as the enterprise has assumed an aspect of national importance
u- . tain in connection with the urgent necessity
which has arisen for earmarking and assuring ourselves of
sources of supply of oil sufficient for the needs of His Majesty’s
Oil fields.
Persia abounds in petroleum springs ; but the richest sources
are in a belt from the Diala River in Kurdistan, following the
trend of the mountains on the southern slopes and plains, to
Ahmadi near Bandar Abbas. Oil has been found in quantity
at Maidan-i-Naphtun and has also been proved at Qasr-
bffirin whilst surface indications of petroleum have beenobserv-
ed at White Oil Springs (near Ram Hormuz), Qishm, Daliki
Ahmadi, Rudan, Champa Kuh, Jask, and numerous other
places. In 1901, the Persian Government granted an English
man, Mr. D’Arcy, the exclusive right to bore for oil in Persia
except m the provinces of Azarbaijan, Gilan, Mazandaran,’
Astarabad, and Khorasan. These were excepted, as the Grand
Vizier was afraid of giving umbrage to Russia. In the conces-
sion R was agreed to pay the Persian Government £20,000
sterling in cash, £20,000 sterling in paid up shares, and 16
per cent, of the annual nett profits. The concession runs for
60 years from the 28th May 1901.
