AI. llriand, when announcing the oil agreement, was addressing the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber when lie said that an oil gusher was recently struck near the village ol Baba Guergou, in Mosul. It had produced 3000 metric tons of petrol in three days, and experts estimate that it is capable of producing 3.000,000 tons per year. As France is entitled to 23.70 per cent of all Mosul oil, it is hoped that this single well will furnish almost half the annual French importations, amounting to 2,000,000 tons per year. „\l. Brin ml added, that in addition to this well, about a hundred others were drilled in the Mosul Vilayet and if this was good, the producers, the French Government, or their agents might even become oil exports.
