Descrizione

Oblong 8vo (165 x 115 mm). 1 page in Arabic. Calligraphic invitation to a lecture on the future of oil in Arabia, given by Professor Abdullah al-Tariqi (1919-97) at the University of Beirut on 29 April 1965. A native of Saudi Arabia, al-Tariqi was Director General of Petroleum and Mineral Affairs in the Ministry of Finance and National Economy from 1954. As such, he was responsible for relations with the only oil company then existing in Saudi Arabia, the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO), which had received a concession in 1933, first found oil in 1938, and began extraction at the end of World War II. In 1960 al-Tariqi became Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Affairs, but in 1962 a clash within the Saudi ruling elite cost him both his post and his ARAMCO board membership. He left Saudi Arabia, co-founded an independent oil consultancy in Beirut, and propounded his view that oil is a global rather than country-by-country issue that needs a united Arab solution vis-à-vis the West. - In excellent condition.
