The transcription will be broadcast within the next few days over 28 Colorado radio stations and 7 TV stations. Of Allott's plan, the interior secretary said: "I'm all for it. I personally would be delighted if Congress would see fit to spell out our domestic minerals policy." Seaton said the Eisenhower administration has -proposed important minerals legislation in each of the last four years.

Each time, he said, the Democratic controlled Congress has turned down the These included long range programs, subsides and stockpile purchases. "In order to do the best we could administratively," Seaton said, "the President imposed import quotas on lead and zinc which we think have had a beneficial effect on that particular industry." He said prospecting and met-allurgcal development should be encouraged. "It took us two years to get Congress to finally pass the minerals exploration program which the Interior Department presented two-three years ago," he said. 2.

Until this legislation is enacted, Allott said, "no one can determine whether we intend to let our mineral industries go to pot or whether we intend to keen thpm in an WASHINGTON (AP) An omnibus mining bill spelling out the nation's policy on the domestic mining industry is urgently needed. Sen. Gordon Allott (R-Colo) and Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton agreed today. The senator has introduced a bill he says would be the first step in accomplishing this.

Allott said his measure would: 1. Lay the foundation for later legislation which might be needed to keep the minerals industry on a sound basis. holes, H. J. Flatt, district engineer for the company at Durango, told petroleum engineers Thursday that the technique has resulted in estimated savings of $162,000 below the cost which would have been incurred with conventional sized holes.

To combat rising development recognized as one of the major problems facing the oil industry today, several new concepts designed to improve drilling techniques have been advanced within recent years. One of the ideas proving most effective is slim-hole drilling, Flatt said. Carter's slim hole experience has been in both exploration and pool development wells, the speaker said. In addition, slim-hole practices have been successfully applied to water injection wells. In comparison with standard orderly way." He and Seaton spoke for a Results of a field test of oil displacement by liquid propane and butane at low pressures were presented Thursday in a paper by L.

Bray of Denver, also Continental engineers. Harbert, stationed at Linch, said an LPG miscible flood project has been in operation in the Lakota reservoir, a small reservoir of nine wells, located in 1 the Sussex area of Johnson County, Wyo. From March 29, 1956 to July 15, 1958, Harbert explained, 275 barrels of LPG were injected into the reservoir to recover approximately 72,000 barrels of secondary oil. Purpose of the operation was to initiate a field test of miscible displacement, a process which Harbert reported promises to increase oil recovery beyond that obtainable by conventional methods of water-flooding and gas injection. The basic process involves the injection of LPG followed by the injection of a gas.

A preferred method of operation maintains the pressure in the reservoir above that required for miscibility between the LJG and gas. Operations at a lower pressure, where the oil and LPG are still miscible but the LPG and gas are not, are also possible, Harbert said. Recoveries comparable to the i A liiSlL L. L. HARBERT fc.m.

FLATT Slim-hole practices are most applicable in pool or semi-exploratory wells, Flatt said, where knowledge of total depth, formation characteristics and lost-circulation problems permit selection of the optimum-sized slim-hole rig. ever, he added, require the injection of larger quantities of LPG and gas. In either case, essentially 100 per cent of the oil in place can be recovered in that portion of the reservoir swept by the LPG, operations, both penetration rate and bit life decreased using slim-hole methods, but no difficulty was encountered in coring, logging and testing in reduced diameter holes, Flatt continued. Actual slim hole costs indicated a significant economic advantage over convention practices, with savings in dry-hole costs ranging up to 25 per cent, primarily from reductions in footage and daywork THESE PRICES GOOD THURSDAY P.M., FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ARMOUR'S FRESH DRESSED HEAVY FOR BAKING although the high-pressure operation more efficiently utilizes th.j relatively expensive LPG. Results of the Continental field test at Linch, Harbert said, in which only LPG was injected into the reservoir show that the volumetric coverage of the LPG sweep was about 8 per cent at breakthrough.

This low value, he said, points out that the sweep efficiency obtained in the reservoir will be a controlling factor in oil recovery by miscible displacement.

Slim-hole methods may not always be applicable, Flatt said, as consideration should be given to specific drilling problems and objectives. But in many cases, slim hole drilling provides significant economic advantages over convention practices.
