was injected. Operations were resumed on November 27th and have been continued to
date. While No. 51 remains the source of cas, injection has been shifted to the
Second Pay lime through Well No. 63 and to the First Pay through Well No. 62. Each
Well now receives approximately 2,000 M.C.F. daily, or a total daily injection of
approximately 4,000 M.C.F. The source of gas through Well No. 51 is Zone "E" of
the Fourth Pay only. Tests on this zone indicate that it contains no oil but only
high pressure gas.
It is anticipated that the gas injection will not halt the movement of
edge water, but will slew its advance, permitting it to exercise the maximum flush
ing effect upon the producing formations. With this thought in mind, we are
attempting to inject a formation volume of gas considerably less than the total
formation volume of the oil and gas being removed.
REFINERY
The Refinery bperating facilities were improved by the addition of the
following major units:
(a) Power Kerosene Rerun Unit;
(b) Slop Dehydrator;
(c) Inhibitor Plant;
(d) Lime Dehydrator and Classifier.
Plans are made and the installation of a Polymerization Plant will be
started early in 1939, with first operation scheduled for August, 1939.
PIPE LINES
In addition to the usual field flow lines which were laid to connect new
completed producing Wells to the Field Gathering System, the followir^ pipe lines
were laid:
la) 8” - lO" Power Kerosene Submarine Ling at Sitra.
lb) 6'’ Crude Submarine Line at Zellaq.
(c) 4" and 6" Crude Line Zellaq to Tank Battery No. 5.
(d) 2-1/2" and 4" High Pressure Gas Line - ’Well No. 51
to No. 62 and 63.
(e) Extension to Refinery Flare Line.
TANKAGE
One 70,000 barrel tank was constructed at the Refinery to provide addition
al Kerosene storage. Four Crude storage and Shipping tanks with a total capacity of
6,500 barrels were erected at tne Zellaq Crude Terminal.
