CHAPTER II.
Note on events in the Southern Area during the year 1931.
MisJiun and Gach Qaraguli .—As mentioned in our report of January last it
was decided at the end of 1930 temporarily to suspend operations in this area
and evacuation was accordingly carried out.
There is now only one European in the area who is stationed at Ganoweh, whilst
at Mishun and Gach Qaraguli guards are maintained.
There has been no drilling of any description, but the 110 miles of road from
Ganoweh to Gach Qaraguli, via Mishun, is still kept open and in fair condition.
Three wells at Gach Qaraguli are still showing pressure, which is taken once
weekly.
No outstanding events of any importance have occurred and conditions have
remained quiet throughout the year.
Kuh-i-Mund .—At the beginning of the year the road from the sea-shore to the
location, about 10 miles through very difficult country, had been completed, also
a jetty constructed and all necessary machinery, pipe-line, pumps, etc., brought in
and installed. The accommodation required for European and native staS had
also been built, and the construction of the aerodrome was completed in April.
Actual drilling on the test well commenced on January loth by the rotary
method and was continued until a depth of 1,397 ft. was reached in July. At this
juncture it w r as found necessary to change over to cable tools, owing to the formation
taking so much of the drilling mud that it was inpossible to keep circulation for any
length of time and as only limited quantities of water were available. Drilling
by this method commenced on 27th August and was continued to a depth of 2,675
ft., when 10 in. casing was run in and cemented at 2,646 ft. At the end of the
year drilling with cable tools was still progressing satisfactorily.
There are at present 9 Europeans in the area and approximately 200 native
staff.
No local trouble of any description has been reported throughout the year.
