Large oil fields are shown, including Burgan, Magwa, and Wafra, as well as Kirkuk and Zubair in Iraq. Dozens of major test wells dot the landscape, and pipeline routes with their pump stations stretch across Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

Altogether an interesting summary of oil interests in the region in the early 1970s. - Apparently extracted from an oil industry publication,2 parts conjoined with packaging tape on reverse, light wear, pin holes, and hole-punches in the margins.
