Abstract
THE opening up of a new petroliferous region in any country is usually a matter of more than ordinary interest, not only to oil technologists, but also to the general business public. In Western Sinai we recognise one of the latest developments of oilfield enterprise, and from our knowledge of the Egyptian fields (to which this new region is geologically similar), as well as from the data published by the Petroleum Research Expedition of Egypt in a Preliminary General Report on Western Sinai (Cairo: Government Press, 1920), the prospects in this part of the peninsula would seem to be exceedingly promising.
