when did they discover oil in saudi arabia?
1938
in 1933, before the pipeline was completed, longrigg was sent to jeddah to join negotiations for an oil concession for the eastern province of saudi arabia. he was unsuccessful in this, on account of ipc's refusal to make payments to the saudi arabian government in gold rather than rupees. the successful bidder, standard oil of california, went on to discover oil at dammam in 1938 and in due course became known as aramco. in 1936, he was appointed general manager of an ipc subsidiary company, petroleum concessions ltd, and spent that summer in saudi arabia obtaining oil concessions for the provinces of hejaz and asir (ipc did not find oil and abandoned the concession in 1941). later in the 1930s, he played an important part in obtaining the first oil concessions for the trucial coast, including one for the sheikhdom of abu dhabi for 75 years, agreed on 14 january 1939.
