Tapline Board
Approves 1963
Budget Items
The Fall meeting of Tapline's Board of Directors was
held in Dhahran October 10.
Parent Company Directors
G. L. Parkhurst of Standard
Oil Company of California,
H. W. Page
of Standard Oil Company (~ew
Jersey), lIan'ey Cash of
Texaco, Inc., and II. C.
Moses of Socony Mobil Oil
Company, wcre present, together with Directors T. C.
Barger (President of Aramco), and W. R. Chandler and
R. P. Cocke of Tapline.
President John Noble, currently recuperating in New
York from an operation, wa
absent.
Tapline' capital and operating budgets for 1963 were
presented to the Board, and
were approved. In addition,
the tentati\'c budgets for
1964 were pre en ted for information of the Board.
The principal items in the
1963 capital budget were the
Sidon Terminal Improvement Program, amounting
to 340,000, and a 250,000
appropriation for replacement of mobile and work
equipment.
Initially presented to and
approved by the Board last
May, the 1963 Sidon Terminal Improvement Program is an extension of the
1962 program and covers
modifications to loading berths at Sidon to achieve
higher loading rates to the
very large tankers which are
expected to load at Sidon
in the coming years.
Pictured abore at Turm!,s airstrip are, froll/ left, Hellry C. "1;[oses, Hart·ey Cash, .11rs. H. n'. Page, Jolm R.
Terry, 11,[rs. lvJoses, J. 1. Johnston, Arall/co U. S. A. offices' General lHanager; R. P. Coc!,e, "ice President,
Secretary aud Treasurer, NYO; G. L. Parkhurst, William R. Chandler, George F. Heide, ,'11'. Page and George
O. Lillabury.
The main item is a new
36 inch line, nearly 7,000
feet long, to be installed in
Berth 1 to supplement present 18 inch and 20 inch
lines. Berth I, which is
now capable of berthing
100,000 deadweight ton tankers following the extension
of existing lines into deeper
water this Fatl, will be capable of loading rates as
high as 75,000 barrels per
hour after the new 36 inch
loop is installed in 1963.
This loading rate will be
equal to or in excess of
maximum rates at modern
loading terminals elsewhere
in the world, and will assist
in keeping Tapline competiti\'e by handling very
large tankers quickly and
efficiently.
An additional item in the
1963 Sidon program will
be the replacement of the
present 12 inch loading hose
in Berth No. 4 with a 16
inch hose, thereby raising
the maximum loading rate
of that berth from 24,000
barrels per hour to 41,000
BPH.
The principal equipment
items to be purchased in
1963, aside from usual normal replacement of sedans
and other light vehicles, will
be the purchase of 22 new
welding machines to replace
old machines currently in
use at all locations. A 15 ton
crane is also being purchased
for replacement of a worn
out unit and a new rock
crusher and loader \\·ill be
added to the road spread.
The Board also re\'iewed
and apprO\'ed Tapline's
plans for completion of the
Pressure Increase Program
started in 1956. This program, based upon modern
theories developed by Tapline of the causes of pipe
failure under \'arying conditions of pressure and temperature, has permitted Tapline to develop operating
pressures more than 20 percent higher than those common in the pipeline industry generally.
Pressure test work already
completed has made it possible to increase Tapline's
potential capacity by about
45,000 barrels per day without adding to investment.
The remammg pressure
tests, which it is hoped will
be conducted this winter
and early in the spring,
should add another 10,000
BPD to Tapline's potential
capacity.
Directors Stop
to Tour Turaif
Four Tapline Directors
representing the owner companies were in Beirut October 4 and 5 and departed
for Dhahran via Turaif on
October 6. Accompanied by
Executi\'e Yice President
William R. Chandler, the
group stopped briefly at the
latter pump station for a
short inspection tour and
lunch at the Community
Center.
The group consisted of
Mr. Harvey Cash, of Texaco,
Mr. H. W. Page, of Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey,
Mr. G. L. Parkhurst, of
Standard Oil Company of
California, and Mr. Henry
C. Moses, of Socony l\lobiI.

being reclassified as ;\lachinist four months later, he
was promoted to I\lachine
Tool Attendant in ,eptember 1956 and to lachine
Tool Operator in September
195 .
E\'er since he joined
Tapline' ranks, Akla has
been an acti\'e student of
the company Development
School at Turaif. lIe has
also
attended
bi\\ eekly
courses gi\'en at the machine
shop for company employees
assigned to Central I\lecanical. In the e es ions,
employees learn to read
blueprints and are taught
mathematic and arithmetic
related to their work in
the shop.
Akla's training a signment
in Abqaiq is part of the
new company training policy
adopted early in 1961 for
the development of nationals
in Saudi Arabia. nder this
policy, a committee, composed of the General, enior
and Station Superintendents, The Company Representative - Pipe Line Area,
and the Staff Coordinator Employee
Development,
nominates approximately ten
percent of the Saudi Arab
employees, who have demonstrated a high degree of
initiative in their job performance, for consideration
for accelerated training programs above the scope of the
normal training efforts.
TWO SAUDI MEDICAL TAPLINERS
TAKE LAB TRAINING IN BEIRUT
Abdullah Abdul-Rahman
Faleh and Saleh F. Buhairan,
of Tapline's Base Hospital
in Badanah, arrived in Beirut
in mid-October on a six
to tweh'e months training
program in medicallaboratory techniques. They are the
first Saudi Arab Tapliners
to receive uch training outside of their country.
Abdallah, who has been
with Tapline since May
1956, and Saleh, whose service date is eptember 1958,
will be trained at the Beirut
clinic laboratory by Senior
X-Ray
and
Laboratory
Technician Sarkis Sarkissian.
Their training program will
cover all fields of medical
laboratory work, including
bacteriology, biochemistry,
parasitology,
hematology
and serology.
. Upon successful completIOn of their training, Abdallah and
aleh will be
transferred as laboratory technicians to one of the pump
station hospitals along the
'Line.
H the training program
proves to be successful, other
Saudi Arab medical employees will be trained in
the same field.

Turaif's Floor and Bench
l\lechanic I\luhammad Saleh
Rumaih won the first prize
(a Swiss-made alarm clock)
in a contest recently organized by Safety Engineering.
Subject of the safety contest, which was open to
all Tapline employees in
pump stations along the
'Line and Sidon Terminal,
was a Periscope picture
which depicted an unsafe
condition of work in progress at a pumphouse in
Saudi Arabia.
Station Maintenance Supervisor Ali Hassan, also of
Turaif, won second prize in
the contest - a wiss army
knife.
In all, a total of 13 employees participated in the
safety contest. Aside from
the winner and runner-up,
they are: ;\luhammad Taki
Abdullah,
Muhammad
Ahmad Turaifi, Attallah Annel, Muhammad al-Kublan
and Georges Hanna, of
Turaif; Lafi Naif, AbdulRazzak Ali and Dr. Marcel
Prince, of Badanah; Saad
Abdullah Majid and Saad
Dabaghi, of Rafha; and
Suleiman
Salloum,
of
Qaisumah.
In commenting on the
proper use of scaffolds,
which was the ubject of the
safety contest, afety Engineering in Beirut said:
"Scaffolding is a major
source of fatal injuries and
permanent disabilities. Each
type of scaffold which is
designed or prefabricated for
easy and quick erection on
the job site, has some inherent safety features to safeguard against hazards of the
job and to minimize the
chances of accident.
"The scaffold which was
the subject of the safety contest is of the built-up, sectional frame type, made of
prefabricated tubular steel
transverse frame panels. To
erect the scaffold, the frames
are placed one on top the
other and are connected
lengthwise by horizontal tie
bracers to make a rigid
structure.
"The safety of scaffolds
built from such frames largely depends on the method
of erection, on the care
taken to incorporate the
safety feature inherent in
the scaffold de ign, and on
the sound judgement of the
erectors regarding the safety
of the constituting parts.
"To benefit from all the
safety features that are built
into a sectional caffold of
the safety contest type, the
following rccommendations
should be followed:
"1. Be sure that footing
is firm and solid and make
certain that the scaffold is
plumb and level at all times.
"2. Provide a safe access
to each platform or working
level of the scaffold ..\ fixed
ladder, in this case, would
be mo t uitable. The ladder
hould be firmlv secured to
the caffold a~d the rails
of the ladder should extend
at least 3 ~ feet abo\'e the
upper platform of the scaffold. A portable ladder could
be used only if the scaffold
is to be used for a \'ery short
time.
"3. Provide guard railings around the outer edges
of all working platforms,
regardless of height. Toe
boards must he used too if
working condition, require
such protection.
"oj..
:\lake sure all wing
nut and locking de\'ices are
tight.
"5. :\Take sure that planks
and prefabricated platforms
are sound and sturdy.
Provide necessar\ means an"d
fittings to prevent their
mO\'ement on the scaffold.
"6. Provide head protection for the men on the
top platform and the men
working belo\\ to protect
them from falling objects if
such hazard e\.ists.
I.
Keep all
caffold
members in good condition,
and never use defecti\e
material."

MEN AND MACHINES AT WORK
The story of launching a submarine crude line pipe-extension weighing some
131,500 pounds into the sea is a colorful and bu ding picture of men and machines
at work.
The Periscope camera lens covered such a story at Sidon Terminal September
28-29, when aI, 103 ft. pipe string of 30-inch diameter was launched to the sea
to extend the Berth o. 3 crude line in deeper water to accommodate larger supertankers.
Late in October, the main string was lifted off the sea bottom, towed into
position and flanged to the end of the existing Berth ~o. 3 crude line.
All work pertaining to the extension of the two Berth ~o. 3 lines i scheduled
for completion by mid-November, weather permitting.
Following its extension, Berth 1\0. 3 now measures 6,7 0 ft.
The last section of 20-inch pipe extending Sidon's Berth ~o. I, on the other
hand, was installed on September 10. T e two crude lines of Berth .'0. I were
extended 2,200 ft. seaward and the berth va back in operation on October 9.
Following its extension, Berth. '0. now measures 6,700 ft.

Oil and M. E. Economy:
The extent of the contribution of petroleum to the
economics of the Middle
East has been summarized
quantitatively in a recent
nited
ations report. Among the highlights:
• Proven oil resen'cs of
the area as of January 1,
1962, wcre estimated at about 25.2 billion tons, or
ome 61 percent of the total
world reserves.
• Direct payments by petrolcum companies to liddie East gO\'ernments in the
period 1950 to 1960 ha\'e
aggrcgated to ~8,9 billion.
These payments ha\'e excceded 1 billion per year
in thc last four years of the
period.
• Capital expenditures by
companies in the area, for
a somewhat shorter period
(1951-1960), came to $3.04
billion, and de\'elopment
costs for the same period
were $1,925 million.
• Transportation income
to governments is now averaging about 1+0 million
per year.
• Other expenditures by
the oil industry (wages, salaries, payments to local contractors and local purchases
and thc like) are of the order
of magnitude of .200 million
annually.
• The total \'isible contributions of petroleum to
the economy of the Iiddle
East are today running at

an annual a\'erage rate of
more than 2 billion.
Russia's Tanker Fleet:
New estimates of SO\'iet tanker growth underline Russia's intent to keep oil exports expanding at a steady
rate. Japan shipbuilders have
just secured orders for twelve 35,000 tonners. And Yugoslavia holds orders for
nine 20,000 tonners. The
Bremen Institute for Shipping Research reckons the
Soviet tanker fleet totaled
1,241,000 gross tons at August 1, or more than twice
the figure five years ago.
umber of tankers is 17+.
According to the annual
tanker study by Sun Oil
Co.'s economics departmcnt,
Russia has building or on
order 1.3 million deadweight tons for delivery in thc
next five years. This additional tonnage will double
the existing oviet-flag fleet.
Of the total, 570,000 D\\'T
will be supplied by Italian
and Japanese yards.
Soviet Oil: Among its
conclusions, a recent United
States National Petroleum
Council report stated that
oil is Russia's most important wcapon in its politicoeconomic offensivc against
the Free World. The report
said that Soviet oil cxports
have reduced the revenue
of Free World producing
countries by an estimated
+86 million from 1954
through 1961. It is estimated that by 1965 Russia,
which imported a net 30,000
BPD in 1950, will have a
crude and products surplus
of one millions barrels per
day for export to the Free
\\'orld.
Suez Canal: Suez Canal
Authority Chairman Mahmoud Younes announced
deepening of the Canal to
38 ft. would begin sometime
in 1963. Transiting tonnage
in the last three months increased 9 per cent over the
similar period last year, mostly in higher tonnage, not
in number of ships. This,
he said, is a signal to proceed
with the $75 million project.
Venezuela Sales: If you
have been wondering where
Venezuela ha been selling
all the ten per cent added
oil output it has been churning out this year, here are
a few official export data.
Among major areas, the
biggest gains, averaging better than 23 pcr cent over
year-earlier levels, have occured in sales to Europe.
Europe as a whole took some
765,000 barrels daily of Venezuela oil in the first half
of 1962.
Venezuela's performance
in the Common Market area
(better than a one-third increase in sales) is particularly
striking. This fa t-growing
oil market boosted its purchases of Yenezuelan oil a
whopping 34.3 per cent O\'er
year-earlier levels in firsthalf of 1962, to a record
293,100 BPD. ome threefifths of this came in as
crude oil, the rest mostly
as fuel oil.
Dutch Gas Exports:
German gas authorities, as
well as Britain's gas industry
have now openly entered
the bidding for natural gas
from Holland's hugc Slochteren resen'es, now estimated at 350 billion cubic meters. Gcrman municipal-gas
undertakings expect to be
able to sell town gas made
from Dutch methane 20 percent to 50 per cent cheaper
than the gas they make from
coal today.
Computers Talk: In a
new system recently installcd, Standard Oil Company
of California, now has computers which "talk" to one
another \'ia microwave relay,
an electronic beam similar
to that used in television
network transmission. SOCAL is the first company
to install such a high specd
relay system between widely
separated computers in nonmilitar work. The hook-up
enables scientists and engincers in laboratories at
Richmond, Calif., to get
swift answers to complex
research problems requiring
use of the large-scale computer in San Francisco. The
Richmond laboratories and
San Francisco offices are
11 miles apart.
