The National Petroleum Syndicate (Takelat: ⵜⴰⴷⵓⴽⵍⵉ ⵜⴰⵖⴻⵍnⴰⵡⵜ ⵏ ⵓⵒⵉⵟⵔⵓⵍ; Tadukli Taɣelnawt n Upiṭrul), commonly initiallized as TTU (Tatapiṭ) is the national Talaharan petroleum syndicate, primarily operating in crude petroleum extraction and refinement. The NPS is a direct distributist syndicate, with its commercial assets collectively owned by its workforce membership. Initially formed in 1872 to explore oil extraction, the NPS grew rapidly at the turn of the 20th century and is now the largest commercial entity in modern Talahara, accounting for approximately one-tenth of the country's economic product.
The NPS primarily supplies petroleum for energy and petrochemicals in Talahara and Tyreseia. The NPS's market reach also extends to the broader Periclean basin and inland over West Scipia. As Talahara is notably not a member of the AOPN, the NPS frequently competes with Sydalene oil and gas companies in the Periclean basin.
History
Oil exploration in Talahara began in the 1860s as advents in gas lighting fueled by kerosene was developed abroad, creating an industrial substitute for whale oil and coal gas/tar. Kerosene and other early petro fuels were far more energy dense than coal gas and whale oil, and the extraction was easier to industrialize than the harvesting processes of the latter. The first oil wells in Talahara were commercially viable by 1869 and the National Petroleum Syndicate was officially founded in 1870 by a group of entrepreneurs and engineers who imported foreign refinement and extraction methods to Talahara.
The first Talaharan wells were exploited in the southwest, near the city of Kirthan on the edge of the Ninva Desert. The first oil wells in the region were discovered incidentally by drillers searching for groundwater aquifers sometime shortly after the Talaharan Civil War. These wells were initially treated somewhat as novelties as techniques for refining the crude oil into efficient products were yet unknown. The development of the first commercially viable internal combustion engines in the 1870s created a leap in demand for petroleum. The Kirthan-Ninva Field created a boom in the southern city, which saw its population expand from approximately 3,000 residents in 1870 to 320,000 in 1882. Today, Kirthan is the third largest city in the United Communes and much of its growth and economic activity is still attributable to the petrochemical industry and services.
Scattered oil reserves across the southwest region continued to fuel economic development and migration to the sparse, arid region and toward the Amara region which proved to have significant reserves. Among the earliest workers of the NPS were the significant local Kel Tenere population, though Kel Aman and Kel Hadar migrants significantly increased the region's population. The exploitation of the Amara Field began in earnest in the 1880s, and by the turn of the century the NPS's operations extended toward the border with Yisrael at the Timna Strip.
In 1907, the NPS research and development laboratories made successive breakthroughs in plastics development. These breakthroughs led to significant market domination. In 1909, it was estimated that NPS's activities accounted for approximately 20% of Talahara's economy. That same year, proceedings were commenced to break up the NPS's activities, resulting in the partitioning of the plastics division into the Synthetic Products Syndicate in 1910.
By 1910, geologists had determined that the the Timna Strip contained the deepest portion of a prehistoric uplifted basin and suspected that the region contained significant oil reserves. In 1919, Talahara annexed the Timna Strip from the Yisraeli government shortly after the Second West Scipian War. The annexation was broadly considered an opportunistic move, though it was justified as a liberation of the local Kel Tenere and Kel Taram populations. The NPS's exploitation of the Timna Field began almost simultaneously with the integration of the region into Talahara's political structure and further propelled the syndicate's expansion, more than accounting for the economic loss following the partition of Synprosyn.
Talahara's energy infrastructure became based around the petroleum industry in the early 20th century, with pipeline projects assisting in providing power to the Rubric Coast. Despite an appeal by NPS in 1934, petroleum power plants remained under the administration of the Association of Lamplighters Unions which had originally administered local fuel and electrical grids, later gaining authority over coal and hydroelectric generators.
In the 1950s, Talahara and Tyreseia's energy grids became significantly integrated and eastern Talaharan cities became customers of Tyreseian nuclear power. Despite this, broadening applications in various industries, demographic expansion, and exports maintained a steady demand for crude oil.
