- Abstract: This file contains papers relating to the securing of oil agreements in Kuwait. Most of the papers consist of correspondence between various British Political Agents in Kuwait and Bahrain, the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, the India Office, and the British Legation at Jeddah. The papers discuss the British governments position with regards to exploring for oil in the Arabian Peninsula and Persian Gulf region with the view to securing as many contracts as possible for British firms as the region became increasingly visible to international oil companies after the discovery of oil in Bahrain in 1932.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the inside front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 227; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
