Historical and Archaeological Society, emphasizing that this was the last lecture of the season.The moderator made a point of mentioning that if anyone would like to participate in the next season or contribute to the cultural program, they can be contacted through the Association's website.The moderator then introduced the keynote speaker, Dr. Abdul Hussein bin Ali Mirza, describing him as an important figure in Bahrain who possesses the ability to be a self-made man, with sustained effort, dedication and sincerity as his most notable attributes.D. was made an Honorary Fellow of the British Royal Family and is also an Honorary Fellow of the Bahrain Historical and Archaeological Society.This honorary membership is awarded to persons who have made outstanding contributions to the people and the Kingdom of Bahrain.The video screen switches to the Doctor giving a speech on stage, wearing a blue shirt and a towel, with the background set up to look like a lecture hall or conference room.The moderator went on to describe the Doctor's academic and professional background, including his doctorate from Middlesex University in the United Kingdom and the various ministerial positions he has held in the Bahraini government.D. served as the first and last Minister of State, Director General of the National Energy Authority, and Director General of the Sustainable Energy Authority in the Kingdom of Bahrain.He was also awarded the Bahraini Order of the First Class and chaired several boards of directors, including Bahrain Petroleum Company and Tatweer Petroleum Company.The Doctor is not only an active member of the community but is also involved in several social and professional organizations such as the Bahrain Tennis Federation and the Rotary Club of Salmania.He has published several books and research papers on energy and management, including The History of Oil and Gas in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Kalimat in Five Years.Dr. Bapco has held a number of executive positions during his time at Bapco, including Director General of Services, Director General of Services, Secretary to the Board of Directors, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer and Chief Executive Officer.He was also active in the community, being a volunteer member of several natural societies, a former member of the Board of Directors of the Society of Accountants and Ibn Khaldun, and a member of the Higher Council for Vocational Training.After the formal start of the lecture, Dr. thanked the audience and briefly introduced the lecture.He mentioned that the lecture will cover several aspects of Bahrain's petroleum history, including the historical use of petroleum products, the history of the discovery of petroleum in the United States, the history of the discovery of petroleum in Bahrain and the Arabian Gulf countries, and the recent developments in Bahrain's oil, gas, and energy industries.The Doctor particularly emphasized the importance of the discovery of oil in Bahrain in June 1932, noting that it was 90 years ago.However, he pointed out that petroleum products were used in Bahrain as early as 4,000 years ago in the Dilmun civilization.Dr. showed pictures illustrating the use of oil in Bahrain at that time.He further discussed the arduous process of obtaining oil concessions and discovering oil in Bahrain, emphasizing the significance of the discovery for Bahrain.The entire lecture lasted about 90 minutes, and the doctor expressed his willingness to answer questions from the audience at the end of the lecture.The end of the video footage shows the audience listening attentively in a solemn and focused atmosphere.[00:10:00->00:20:00] In the current video clip, Dr. Abdul Hussein bin Ali Mirza continues his lecture by detailing the early stages of Bahrain's petroleum history.The scene shows the Doctor sitting in a room with a laptop in front of him as he intently flips through the material, seemingly preparing for his next presentation.The audience sat at the other end of the room, their expressions attentive and obviously interested in the Doctor's narrative.The Doctor began his account of Bahrain's unique position in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), stressing that Bahrain was the first country to be recognized by the council.He proudly mentioned that Bahrain is not only leading in this regard, but is also honored for being the first country to discover oil.Dr. showed the financial report, noting that oil was originally discovered in Wade, but that there were many other important historical events behind this discovery.The Doctor then turned to the early use of petroleum products, particularly the use of petroleum in ancient civilizations.He mentioned that according to ancient Persian inscriptions, oil was first used as an ointment and fuel.This black substance, also known as asphalt, has been used by humans for thousands of years, long before the Sumerian civilization came into existence.D. showed ancient documents and archaeological findings that illustrate the many uses of the substance in construction and everyday life.For example, Sumerians used asphalt to secure bricks, make statues, and for waterproofing treatments.The Doctor also mentioned an interesting archaeological discovery: a fisherman had used a black, sticky substance to secure arrowheads to spears.The substance was originally found in a nearby spring.D. showed relevant archaeological evidence of the importance of this substance in ancient societies.He further notes that the substance was not only widely used in the Sumerian civilization, but other civilizations such as Babylon, India, Persia, Egypt and Greece also found multiple uses for it.The Doctor also referred to accounts in the Bible, particularly in the story of Noah, where God instructed Noah to coat the ark with pitch to ensure that it would be watertight.Also, Moses' mother used to tar the cradle to hide her children.D. shows these accounts, emphasizing the importance of petroleum products in ancient religions and cultures.Next, Dr. discussed Bahrain's use of oil during the ancient Dilmun period.He mentioned that oil was used to wrap coffins and maintain clay pots, findings that confirm its many uses in ancient times.Dr. displayed photographs he had taken at the Bahrain Museum to show the audience these archaeological findings.Dr. mentioned two views on the source of oil.The first view is that oil is drilled out of the ground due to high pressure levels in groundwater wells.The second view is that the oil was brought to Bahrain by waves from different areas along the Persian Gulf coast.D. showed relevant geologic evidence to explain the plausibility of both views.Finally, the Doctor gave a brief account of the discovery of oil in the United States, especially the story of George Bissell.Bissell, a prominent lawyer and businessman, speculated that there might be oil under the ground by observing the asphalt on the water.This discovery eventually led to Drake's successful drilling in Pennsylvania, and Drake became one of the world's most famous oil explorers.Dr.'s presentation was logical and informative, and the audience listened with great interest.The entire lecture had a solemn and focused atmosphere, and the doctor's presentation not only demonstrated the far-reaching impact of Bahrain's petroleum history, but also highlighted the importance of petroleum in ancient civilizations.[00:20:00->00:30:00] In the current video clip, Dr. Abdul Hussein bin Ali Mirza continues his lecture with an in-depth look at the discovery of oil in the United States and its subsequent impact.The Doctor sat in a room with a laptop in front of him as he intently flipped through the material in preparation for his next presentation.The audience sat at the other end of the room with serious expressions and obvious interest in the Doctor's narrative.Dr. began to tell the saga of the discovery of oil in the United States.He mentioned that the first oil well was drilled in western Pennsylvania, USA, in 1859, at a depth of 69 feet and a production rate of 15 barrels per day.This discovery marked the beginning of the American oil industry.D. explained Drake's drilling process in detail, emphasizing the difficult and serendipitous nature of the discovery.He mentioned a key detail: initially, the drilling team didn't find oil right away, but rather the financiers almost abandoned the project.However, the last chance came when they checked the wellhead again and found oil.D. showed a number of relevant historical photographs illustrating the impact of the discovery on the local economy and community.Dr. further discusses Drake's personal fate.He mentioned that Drake's failure to patent the invention resulted in his failure to receive the financial benefit he deserved from the discovery.The Doctor tells the story of Drake's failed investment in the New York Stock Exchange, which ultimately left him penniless.Nevertheless, after his death, a museum was built in his name to honor his contributions.D. said he visited the museum himself and was deeply in awe of Drake's story.Next, the Doctor turned to the development of the oil industry.He mentioned that oil discoveries in the U.S. have sparked a nationwide drilling boom.At the time, the law stated that if someone found oil on their land, the oil belonged to them.This policy led to a massive private drilling campaign that resulted in a booming oil field.Dr. showed photos of people drilling for oil at the time, emphasizing the economic boom of the period.Dr. also compares the oil policies of the U.S. and the Gulf States.He pointed out that in Bahrain and the Gulf States, natural wealth belongs to the State, which means that even if an individual discovers oil on his or her land, the oil belongs to the State.This policy contrasts with private ownership in the United States.D. explains the impact of this policy difference on the development of the oil industry in both countries.The Doctor then introduced John D. Rockefeller, another important figure in the oil industry.He mentioned that Rockefeller came from a poor background, but through his hard work and intelligence, he became the founder of Standard Oil.Rockefeller gradually established a monopoly by acquiring small oil companies and refineries.D. about the public outrage over Rockefeller's monopoly and the U.S. government's antitrust lawsuit against Standard Oil.This lawsuit eventually led to the breakup of Standard Oil, ending Rockefeller's monopoly.Dr.'s presentation was informative and logical, and the audience listened with great interest.The whole atmosphere of the lecture was solemn and focused, and Dr.'s explanation not only demonstrated the far-reaching influence of the history of petroleum, but also highlighted the important position of petroleum in the socio-economic development.The audience was captivated by the doctor's narration and nodded their heads in agreement from time to time.The Doctor concluded by stating that he would be willing to answer questions from the audience at the end of the lecture to explore the topic further.[00:30:00->00:40:00] In the current video clip, Dr. Abdul Hussein bin Ali Mirza continues his lecture with an in-depth look at the importance of oil in international politics and economics.The Doctor sat in a room with a laptop in front of him as he intently flipped through the material in preparation for his next presentation.The audience sat at the other end of the room with serious expressions and obvious interest in the Doctor's narrative.Dr. talks about the monopoly of the American oil industry, detailing the rise and fall of Standard Oil (Standard Oil).He mentioned that John D. Rockefeller gradually established a monopoly in the late 19th century by acquiring small oil companies and refineries.Rockefeller's monopoly sparked public outrage, which eventually led to the U.S. government filing an antitrust lawsuit against him in 1911.This lawsuit resulted in the breakup of Standard Oil into more than 30 separate companies that went on to play major roles in the oil industry.Dr. specifically mentioned the savvy strategies of these companies in the aftermath of the split.He explains that these companies, although apparently independent, actually maintain a certain synergy through clever management strategies.For example, many of them hold shares in each other, ensuring control of the market.D. showed relevant historical photographs highlighting the economic boom and the complex relationships between companies during this period.Next, the doctor discusses the formation of the Seven Sisters, the international oil companies.He noted that the seven companies are the major oil companies in the world, five of which are American and two British.By working together, these companies controlled oil prices and production in the early 20th century, with far-reaching consequences for most of the world's oil-producing countries.D. showed maps illustrating the global distribution and reach of these companies.The Doctor further mentioned that in September 1960, the energy ministers of five countries - Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq and Venezuela - met in Baghdad to form the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).OPEC was created to counter the monopoly of the Seven Sisters, giving oil-producing countries a greater say in oil prices and production.Dr. explained that OPEC has gradually become a major force in the global oil market through collective bargaining, with its membership expanding from the initial five countries to the current 13.The doctor also mentioned the concept of "OPEC+", which is the cooperation between OPEC and other major oil producers (e.g., Russia, Mexico, etc.).He noted that these countries have had a huge impact on the global oil market by harmonizing their production volumes.D. showed data that illustrated the effectiveness of OPEC+ in controlling oil prices and production.Dr.'s presentation was informative and logical, and the audience listened with great interest.The whole atmosphere of the lecture was solemn and focused, and Dr.'s explanation not only demonstrated the far-reaching impact of the history of petroleum, but also highlighted the important position of petroleum in international politics and economy.The Doctor concluded by stating that he would be willing to answer questions from the audience at the end of the lecture to explore the topic further.The audience was captivated by the doctor's narration, nodding their heads in agreement from time to time, clearly interested in the subject.[00:40:00->00:50:00] In the current video clip, Dr. Abdul Hussein bin Ali Mirza continues his lecture with an in-depth look at the early signs of Bahrain's oil discovery and its historical context.The Doctor sat in a room with a laptop in front of him as he intently flipped through the material in preparation for his next presentation.The audience sat at the other end of the room with serious expressions and obvious interest in the Doctor's narrative.Dr. began to recount the first signs of oil discovery in Bahrain.He mentioned that in 1904, a British Adjutant General by the name of John mentioned the story of the fishermen of Dawahir in a letter to the British Political Resident.Dawahir fishermen have discovered a liquid floating on the surface of the sea that is suspected to be oil.D. showed relevant literature and pictures, emphasizing the importance of the discovery and the reaction of the people at the time.Dr. explained that at the time, the UK had signed a treaty of friendship and protection with Bahrain, which meant that the British political residency had some influence in Bahrain.John Haque, a political assessor, wrote an account of this phenomenon in September 1902, at the end of the bead-picking season.The Doctor showed Harker's report, which referred to the attention of the ship's passengers being attracted to a circle a few yards in diameter on the surface of the sea, about 10 to 15 miles north of Harrower's Island.The waters around this circle intrigued the sailors, who realized that the liquid was flowing upward to the surface, fouling the sides of the ship.Dr. went on to describe the subsequent investigation of this discovery.He mentioned that an expert named John Calcutt wrote after his investigation that if the story is true, then there is a possibility of natural oil and gas springs in the area.D. showed Calcutt's report, emphasizing the initial interest and study of oil during this period.Dr. further described the situation in 1914.He mentions that James became chief geologist for a company specializing in Bahrain's oil possibilities.James suggested that the area should not be ignored until a fairly deep well is drilled for testing.This proposal caught the attention of the British political resident, who wrote to Sheikh Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa, the Ruler of Bahrain, to discuss the possibility of an oil concession.Dr. showed relevant letters highlighting the role of the British government in the process.The Doctor mentions that the primary goal of the British government was to protect the rulers of the region from exploitation by charter adventurers.Secondly, the British government also wants to prevent foreign commercial companies from infiltrating the Gulf.The Doctor showed a document from the British Colonial Office, dated September 29, 1932, addressed to the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, emphasizing the importance of these objectives.The Doctor concludes by discussing an important landmark of 1914, Al Nabhani's book Al-Tahfah Al-Nabhani.Nabhani mentioned the presence of oil in Bahrain's Sahir region after his visit to the region.D. showed excerpts from Nabhani's book that emphasized the early signs of these discoveries.Dr. mentioned that in his book, Nabani describes minerals such as oil, asphalt, and gypsum in the vicinity of the Al-Sakhir area.These descriptions existed 18 years before the oil was discovered, further confirming the potential of Bahrain's oil.Dr.'s presentation was informative and logical, and the audience listened with great interest.The atmosphere throughout the lecture was dignified and focused, and the doctor's presentation not only demonstrated the early history of Bahrain's oil discoveries, but also highlighted the significance of these discoveries to Bahrain and the international oil industry.The Doctor concluded by stating that he would be willing to answer questions from the audience at the end of the lecture to explore the topic further.The audience was

agreement, with the franchise period initially being two years, followed by a return of royalties and royalties.Dr. highlighted the bottom of the agreement, noting that they may not be very clear, but by reading them, some of the important details of the agreement can be seen.For example, the agreement allows companies to extend their exploration leave for a further two years if they demonstrate a positive attitude to exploration.The Doctor explained that this is a policy that favors the sheikhs (i.e., the rulers who are workers), who, according to the Shari'ah, are the political agents residing in the Gulf region and the rulers who act on their advice.The Doctor also mentioned that Oriental had signed an agreement with Sheikh Hamad committing INR 10,000 crores per annum to Bahrain.If the company makes a new discovery after two years, it will have to pay an additional fee each year.Dr. explained the royalty per ton of oil in detail, pointing out that for every ton of oil extracted, the company has to pay Rs. 3.5 as each ton of oil is equivalent to 7 barrels.Dr. further discussed the process of transferring concessions.He mentioned that Frank Hanes was assigned to oversee the oil wells, but secretly agreed to drill for water rights in Bahrain.He investigated Bahrain's oil potential and used the "magic report" to transfer concessions.D. highlighted the 1928 Red Line Agreement, which became the new standard requiring any company investing in the Gulf to share concessions with existing companies.The Doctor concluded by recounting the founding of Bapco.Bapco is a U.S.-U.K. joint venture, and the company must meet U.K. government conditions, including that the company must be a U.K. company, the president must be a U.K. citizen, and all communications must be made through U.K.-posted personnel.D. showed photos of Bapco's registered buildings in Canada to emphasize this historical context.The entire atmosphere of the lecture was solemn and focused, Dr.'s

Bahrain's petroleum industry and its national and international implications.The Doctor sat in a room with a laptop in front of him, intently flipping through the material in preparation for his next presentation.The audience sat at the other end of the room with serious expressions and obvious interest in the Doctor's narrative.Dr. began to talk about the early development of the oil industry in Bahrain, especially the construction of the refinery.He mentioned that when Bahrain got more oil, the government realized it needed to build a refinery.However, Soukal lacked the technology and experience to build a refinery and decided to look for a partner.D. showed relevant literature and pictures, emphasizing the importance of this decision and the reaction of people at the time.He mentioned that SoCal needed an experienced partner and Caltex, one of the Seven Sisters, was their first choice.Dr. explained that Caltex has extensive experience in marketing, especially in the U.S. market.He referred to gas station scenes in old movies such as John Wayne to illustrate Caltex's vast network and marketing power.Dr. noted that Caltex agreed to participate in oil marketing activities in Bahrain, but only in Bahrain.To obtain the right to participate, Caltex paid 18 million dinars.D. showed how Caltex was formed, noting that Caltex is made up of three letters from Soukal and three letters from Texas, emphasizing the importance of this collaboration.The Doctor went on to talk about Caltex's training program in Bahrain.He mentioned that in order to develop local talent, Caltex brings Bahraini employees to each integrated Awalikum station for training.D. showed photographs of the December 1938 dedication of the refinery, noting that the capacity of the refinery was 10,000 barrels per day.Dr. stressed that this refinery is the first refinery in Bahrain and is of historical importance.He mentioned that the refinery is still in operation today but is in need of updating and suggested that it be kept as part of the museum to honor its historical value.D. further discussed Saudi Arabia's oil discoveries and their impact on Bahrain.He mentioned that the first oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia in 1938, but there were no refineries.As a result, the Saudis shipped two shipments to Bahrain for processing.Dr. showed photographs of barges of the time that illustrated the process.He mentioned that in 1945, Saudi Arabia and the oil pipeline were built one after the other, which was one of the longest pipelines in the world at that time.Dr.'s presentation was logical and informative, and the audience listened with great interest, nodding their heads in agreement from time to time.The Doctor concluded by stating that he would be willing to answer

It is likely that economically, fiscal revenues will decrease, economic growth will slow down, and oil-dependent industries will be hit; socially, unemployment may rise, the standard of living of the population may decline, and the government may increase its support for other industries in order to seek economic transformation.

The video mentions the importance of oil to Bahrain's economy, and that a significant reduction in Bahrain's oil reserves in the future will inevitably lead to a reduction in revenues and an impact on economic growth. [00:40:38 - 01:40:00]

Possibly economically, revenues will be reduced, economic growth will slow, and oil-dependent industries will be impacted

On the social front, unemployment is likely to rise, the standard of living of the population is likely to fall, and the government is likely to increase its support for other industries in its quest for economic transformation.

Question: What might have been the trajectory of Bahrain's development, assuming no oil had been discovered in the country?

Choices:
A. The absence of oil would have forced Bahrain to focus on agricultural expansion and self-sufficiency, leading to a predominantly rural economy with limited urbanization and industrial diversification.
B. Economic development is likely to be slower, making it difficult to achieve rapid industrialization and modernization; its position in the international economic landscape will be lower, and foreign trade and investment may be limited; and social development will lag behind, with infrastructure development and public services such as education and health care likely to be less developed than they were after the discovery of oil.
C. Bahrain would have accelerated its transition to a knowledge-based economy, leveraging its strategic location and human capital to attract global technology and innovation hubs, thereby achieving sustainable growth without reliance on natural resources.
D. Bahrain’s development trajectory would have remained unchanged, as its maritime trade and financial services sector would have compensated for the lack of oil, ensuring continued economic prosperity and social advancement.

Answer: B

Economic development is likely to be slower, making it difficult to achieve rapid industrialization and modernization; its position in the international economic landscape will be lower, and foreign trade and investment may be limited; and social development will lag behind, with infrastructure development and public services such as education and health care likely to be less developed than they were after the discovery of oil.

From the video it is clear that the oil discovery has boosted Bahrain's economy [00:40:40 - 01:43:04]

Assuming that Bahrain did not discover oil at the beginning of the 20th century, its economy would likely have been slower to industrialize and modernize rapidly, its position in the international economic landscape would have been lower, and foreign trade and investment would likely have been limited.

Slow economic development can lead to a lack of resources for all aspects of social development, and social development can lag behind in relative terms, with infrastructure development and public services, such as education and health care, potentially not developing as fast as they did after the discovery of oil.

Question: Why did Bahrain's oil industry face many difficulties during its early exploration?

Choices:
A. Due to the absence of skilled labor and the lack of advanced drilling equipment, the exploration efforts were significantly hindered, alongside the scarcity of financial investments in the sector.
B. Because of the limited level of technology, it is difficult to make accurate judgments when detecting oil resources; insufficient knowledge of Bahrain's geology increases the difficulty of exploration; and the complex international political and economic environment and the interests of all parties are being played out, which affects the exploration process.
C. Inadequate regulatory frameworks and the absence of international cooperation agreements delayed the exploration activities and increased operational risks.
D. The geographical isolation of Bahrain and the harsh climatic conditions posed major challenges, making the transportation of equipment and personnel extremely difficult.

Answer: B

Because of the limited level of technology, it is difficult to make accurate judgments when detecting oil resources; insufficient knowledge of Bahrain's geology increases the difficulty of exploration; and the complex international political and economic environment and the interests of all parties are being played out, which affects the exploration process.

It is clear from the video that early technology was underdeveloped and detection means were limited at the time, making it difficult to pinpoint the oil. [00:01:00 - 00:.08:24]

The video indicates that the geology of Bahrain has not been studied in sufficient depth, making it more difficult to explore leading to detours while exploring. [00:40:40 - 00:.56:37]

The video's reference to the attitudes and competition for Bahrain's oil from various parties illustrates the complex international environment that has led to difficulties in the early exploration of Bahrain's oil industry. [00:56:47 - 01:.08:21]

Question: What importance can be inferred from the history of Bahrain's oil industry to the economic and social development of a country?

Choices:

B. Economically, it can bring in huge financial revenues, promote economic growth, boost related industries, create a large number of employment opportunities, improve the living standards of residents, improve infrastructure construction, and enhance the country's influence in the international arena.
C. The oil industry tends to centralize wealth in a few hands, exacerbating income inequality and limiting social mobility, while offering minimal economic diversification.
D. It primarily leads to environmental degradation, reduces agricultural productivity, and increases dependency on foreign investments without significant economic benefits.

Answer: B

Economically, it can bring in huge financial revenues, promote economic growth, boost related industries, create a large number of employment opportunities, improve the living standards of residents, improve infrastructure construction, and enhance the country's influence in the international arena.

The video showing Bahrain's oil exports and industrial development can be seen to bring economic growth to Bahrain and increase revenues. [01:20:12 - 01:24:34]

The video shows that the oil industry drives upstream and downstream industries, creates many jobs, and improves the standard of living of the population. [01:25:00 - 01:28:40]

The video shows how the development of Bahrain's oil industry has led to economic development that has led to improved infrastructure and the country's elevated status in international economic exchanges. [01:28:40- 01:40:37]
