Spanning nearly 600 miles, the Iraq Petroleum Company under British supervision constructed an oil pipeline to connect the Mosul oil fields to the Mediterranean coast at Haifa. The lands through which the pipeline stretched were all under British mandate. By 1940, the Iraqi fields produced four million tonnes of oil per year, Britain’s share of overall production supplying 5% of domestic needs but full requirements of its Mediterranean fleet.
