Eleven Aquitaine is a former French mineral oil enterprise, which admits ELEVEN also under the label name is.
In order to understand, why and how developed for eleven Aquitaine, one must draw back up to the First World War. Before the First World War there was no national oil politics in France. But fast at the beginning of the war the French government had to recognize the meaning from oil to warfare. Without oil and/or gasoline neither airplanes flew, nor trucks rolled or moved artillery tractors. The transportation was based during the First World War in France, Germany, Austria Hungary and Russia still in very far measure on the railway, but the meaning of oil and gasoline was already substantial.
In order to win the war-important precious liquid, one called after after foreign assistance, more exactly more American. The government understood fast the strategic meaning and looked for a suitable and solid basis for oiling system. After the defeat of Germany in the First World War France took part in place of Germany with 25% in the Turkish petroleum company, which umfirmierte shortly thereafter in Iraq petroleum company.
Since then France 1 received million tons per year crude oil from this society. 1924 the Compagnie de (CFP) were created, which created a subsidiary with the name Compagnie de Raffinage (CFR), from whom the group of total developed later. These two societies received which is entitled Iraqi crude oil from the French government the management over the France.
The eve of the Second World War, about 1937 French consumption approximately 5 million tons per year amounted to, from which approx. 40% originated from the Iraq. The remainder came from the USA, Venezuela and Romania. At the same time the state between 1920 and 1935 public and private places gave extensive permission for the investigation, which two promising regions resulted in: Country and the Atlantic region of the Pyreneeses. Owing to the obstinacy one discovered 1939 a gas field in Saint Marcet in the region Aquitanien in southwest France, which thereupon of the fast created autonomous ones of the (RAP) one exploited.
With beginning of war the Direction of the Carburants (DICA) was created, in order to take over the oil sector on trust. With this establishment one launched the promotion in all angles, however particularly in the southwest. In order to supervise all these folder ions, another society was created in November 1941, the national one of the d'Aquitaine (SNPA).
Taken up with end of war 1945 the Prospektion and exploration again, now however no longer only in the motherland, but also in the colonial empire (from that thereafter the union became short). In addition the office de Recherches de (BRP) was created. The latter served to managen a national program for the search for oil. The BRP became soon getting thing for all participation of the state in the industry (SNPA, SNPLM, La of the ).
1951 discovered the SNPA in Lacq stores first from oil, later also natural gas. This gas contains sulfur and 10% carbon dioxide, which withdraw with a pressure of 670 bar up to 15%. The oil is carried to the total refinery La while the gas is locally processed. Therefore the region became Lacq a gas processing region with plants the desulphurisation. At first the sulfur was regarded as an unwanted product, but in the meantime it became a very estimated source of income.
Although the search for oil had already begun generally speaking French colonial empire, in particular in Africa 1877, it did not furnish results to 1932. The international societies withdrew themselves from the enormous, inhospitable Sahara desert.
Fortunately some experts, convinced Conrad Kilian, were among them that the underground of the Sahara would have to hide he discovered 1922 and 1927/28 in the north of the Hoggar and into the Zentralsahara geological structures, which are applicable for oil.
Another geological expert, Nicholas Menchikoff, had written some years later that the sandstone of some Sahararegionen possessed the formation of stores.
1946 in co-operation between the BRP and the Algerian government the national one de Recherche et d'Exploitation de EN (S.N. REPAL) based, its seat in Hydra, the upper city of Algiers is. With the establishment of this society the geological research in co-operation with CFP in the region Timimoun, Beni and in-Salah began 1948, however without result.
1950 were investigated the Westsahara just like the region Reggane. 1952 received the S.N.REPAL as well as the CFP a concession over a surface from 116.000 km 1953 agreed the CREPS, a society, to the RAP the majority and Shell 35% held on a surface of 140.000 km Further concessions were granted Shell, so that a surface was granted of altogether more as 600,000 km more largely than the French motherland for oil exploration.
At first no oil was promoted. But 1953/54 discovered the CREPS at the Djebel Berga natural gas. In January 1956 in Edjeleh oil was discovered, in the July of the same yearly Hassi Messaoud were added and in November Hassi R'Mel. The finds were made for the CFP by CREPS, S.N.REPAL and. In the south of Hassi Messaoud, in El Gassi discovered the SNPA end of the 1950er years likewise stores. These finds reduced gradually the dependence of France on the oil of the Near East by 90% in that epoch. All these find places made France possible, whose production was with 14 million tons per year, to cover 45% of its national consumption until 1960.
