Total oil produced during the year was 8,009,802
net barrels, an average of 21,945 net barrels daily.
Production rate was increased during the year as additional
wells and gas injection facilities were completed. The
extra facilities provided resulted in the ability to control
the influx of extraneous water into the reservoir thus per
mitting a higher rate of withdrawal. By the end of the year
under review the production capacity of the field had
increased to 25,000 net barrels a day. The facilities
commenced last year to permit the direct loading and unload
ing of ocean-going ships at Sitra were completed and brought
into operation.

Field Development work was resumed and seven new
wells were completed during the year. The drilling of
these wells was part of a programme undertaken to
(i) replace wells captured by the expanding gas
and advancing edge water thus assuring the
field’s ability to sustain current production
rates;
(ii) re-distribute withdrawal from the reservoir
to assure maximum economic recovery;
(ill) increase rate and improve distribution of
injected gas; and
(iv) permit further observation of the effects
of production practice on the reservoir.
A number of wells were awaiting major repairs before they
• could be returned to production, but the repairs were held
in abeyance to permit a more rapid advance in the current
development programme of sinking new wells.
(d) Imports of Arabian American Crude Oil .

factorily throughout the year. The total import of Arabian
