Energy Net on 10 Jun 08TEHRAN (AFP) - It was just before dawn on May 26, 1908, and G B Reynolds was drilling one more hole in a final attempt to find oil in Iran before his superiors ended what had been an expensive and fruitless project. Veteran prospector Reynolds, the chief engineer for Concessions Syndicate Ltd, struck a gusher at 360 metres (1,180) feet at Masjed Soleyman to find the first oil in Iran.
