Middle Eastern Oil'. Richard Edes Harrison, Middle Eastern Oil, double-page map from Fortune, May 1947. Published with "The Great Oil Deals," this vivid post-war prospect turns the Near East into the new energy pivot of the American century. Harrison's oblique relief view links Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Bahrain, Palestine, Syria, Egypt and Turkey through concessions, pipelines, refineries, tanker routes and projected lines to the Mediterranean. Insets compare world production and reserves, making clear that Middle Eastern petroleum was still underproduced but possessed immense latent power. The map's colour blocks expose corporate and imperial claims-ARAMCO, Iraq Petroleum, Anglo-Iranian, Kuwait Oil and others-cutting across political borders. Harrison's message is unmistakable: after victory, strategy would be governed less by battlefronts than by oilfields, pipelines, water routes and the companies controlling them. by Harrison, Richard Edes.
