The Canned Oilwell  Mystery  ( UPDATE III: Société Egyptienne de Pétrole)

The Canned Oilwell Mystery ( UPDATE III: Société Egyptienne de Pétrole)

Sometimes even two gallon can collector Bas de Voogd runs into a mystery can. His latest acquisition is one made by S.E.P. and has Arabian script on both front and side. The other side shows a half moon with the writing SF15. Is there someone amongst our readers who can translate the Arabian script and maybe even tell us what the letters S.E.P. stand for? Contact us!

Update III by Frans Hoekemeijer: "The letters S.E.P. stand for Société Egyptienne de Pétrole."
Update II again by Toby's assistant as well: "The Short Arab word is 'Benzine' and the long words down the side say 'The Egyptian Gas Company'.
Update I by Toby Ballard: "Hi Guys. You are in luck. One of my Physiotherapists that works for me is an Arab. She just translated that and it says "Benzine" (Oil) "
