LES PÉTROLES D’OUTRE-MER S.A.

The black funnel has a broad white band containing a red hammer and flaming torch crossed in saltire. The blue flag has a white diamond extending to the edges, with the same crossed devices above red PMO arranged in the remaining diamond points. Loughran explains the hammer and torch as the power and light obtained from oil. Aragaz’s photograph confirms the funnel; it was also noted on Ashtarak.
