...unanimous vote, Iran's Senate last week ratified an oil pact that was a major break in the traditional fifty-fifty profit split that Middle Eastern governments give foreign prospectors. To Italy's state-run ENI and its ambitious boss. Enrico Mattei, Iran granted twelve-year drilling concessions for a strip on the Gulf of Oman, a submerged area off Abadan, and a promising 6,800-sq.-mi. area south of the fabulous Qum find (TIME, May 6).

Combine of U.S., British, Dutch and French companies already operating in Iran was refused permission to exploit Qum, fears that terms of deal giving Iran 70% to 75% share of profits will upset traditional fifty-fifty split...
