MAY 17, 16- THE LEADER POT, REGINA, SK. i New methods oil being recovery The steam method is broken into two types. Hie first, being tried by Husky Oil uses steam put down a well to set up a flood front, forcing oil to other wells. The second type of steam operation, know as the huff and puff method, is being tried by both Husky and Socony. It involves injecting steam for a period of about 3i days and then producing from the well for a period twice that long.

The steam lowers the viscosity of the oil and makes it run more ies in the province have been using the water flood or pressure maintenance method of secondary recovery and this method is currently being used in 32 major oil pools. Water-flooding involves forcing water into oil bearing formations by injection wells to help drive the oil to other wells at the surface. At the end of last year, 54 per cent of the province's remaining reserves was obtainable through secondary recovery methods. Estimated remaining reserves through primary By MEL HINDS legislative Reporter New secondary methods of oil recovery now being tested may substantially increase Saskatchewan's total recoverable reserves and probably lead to new exploration in some areas, say officials of the department of mineral resources. Oil companies are currently experimenting with at least three new methods which could mean recovery of a higher percentage of known reserves.

Since about 1956 oil compan recovery was 434.0U9.000 barrels while secondary recovery accounted for another 510.527.-000 barrels for a total of 538 0(H). Average oil recovery factor in Saskatchewan is 20 per cent, ith the rate ranging from about five per cent in the heavy crude areas of Lloydminster to about 35 per cent through secondary recovery in the lighter crude areas. These 'igui es could be increased by the new methods now under test, officials say. The three methods bctni toted are msitu combustion (fire flooding), steam flooding or stimulation and Increasing of viscosity of water used in the water flooding method. The insitu method, being tested by Socony Mobil till of Canada Ltd involves setting fire to the underground oil aitcr an has been injected to provide oxygen.

The heat thins out the oil and the combustion gases drive the oil toward producing wells at the surface. The third method be-ng experimented with is a variation of the water flood method. Since tends to bypass the heavier crude oils, chemicals are added to water to increase its viscosity. The water then is not as prone to bypass the oil and is better able to set up a flood front which pushes the oil toward the wells. Officials say if the methods work well, they would be especially helpful in the heavy crude area of Lloydminster and reserves there would be in creased substantially.

Exploration for new oil finds in the area might also be increased if methods were to make recovery of that type of od more effective However, the methods must be economical enough to make extra recovery attempts worth-while. If the costs proved too high, companies would probably not use them until other cheaper oil sources had been exhausted or oil prices increased enough to make the more expensive recovery methods pay.

Wright, assistant secretary of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, returned to Regina recently after a tour through India with 12 other persons. The tour was organized by the Farmers' Union of Alberta. The group visited the research centre at Mysore, one of 30 such centres in India. Following Mr. Wright's return, the wheat pool donated SI, 500 to the Canada Mysore fund through Mrs.

R. H. Millike chairman of the provincial fund raising committee. The Saskatchewan committee's objective is to collect by 1967. The donation brought the total over the half-way mark.

Because $30,000 was collected before the end of April, an Scientists at Mysore are developing processing equipment, insecticides, pesticides, sprays, rat poisons and preservatives. Currently there is emphasis on practical use of the research. "There is a growing awareness of the fact that all of these scientific advances are meaningless unless farmers and villagers find them practical to use," Mr. Wright said.

RPAN Associated Press News Analyst How accurate have U.S. leaders lieen in assessing developments and prospects in South Viet Nam? A recapitulation of some of their less-lucky statements suggests that, with deadly regularity events mock both their assessments and predictions. Time after time Washington expresses surprise at a sudden stormy development in Saigon's politics. Now. once again, Washington is surprised as it looks at a new- crisis, this one evoking echoes of the 1903 turmoil which brought down the regime of President Ngo Dinh Diem.

Only a week ago. State Secretary Dean Rusk told the Senate foreign relations committee that "some interpretations may have been overdrawn" in the reporting of a statement by Premier Nguyen Cao Ky. Ky, discussing prosp edive South Viet Nam elections, said it would take at least a year to prepare orderly transition to civilian rule and he expected to Wright said. He said the project is expensive to maintain. During the first year of operation, it cost 77.000 rupees ($15,082) to keep up the site.

Landing at Bombay, the tour visited New Delhi, Agra where the Taj Hahal is located, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mysore, Cochin, Madurai and Bombay again. Accompanying Mr. Wright was E. K. Turner of Maymont, a director of the wheat pool.

On the return trip, they stopped for a day each in Hong Kong and Tokyo. In Hong Kong, they met the commissioners of the Canadian wheat board who were negotiating a wheat sale to China at the time, and in Tokyo they met members of the Japanese trade delegation which visited Canada a year ago. During the delegation's visit in Regina, members had been guests of the wheat pool. The pioneer aviator is also generally credited with lMng the first person to fly an aircraft of the conventional type a biplane with the propeller at the front from Canadian soil. The biplane was built in a Vancouver basement in late 1910 and early 1911 by Mr.

Templeton. a now-deceased brother and a cousin. None of them had ever seen an aircraft. Thev took it to a city park on April 28. 1911, for a test flight.

With the 21-year-old Mr. Templeton at the controls, the balsa-wood and baling wire biplane soared briefly into the air, then coasted gently to a safe landing. The flimsy airplane was scrapped the next year after a number of minor mishaps, crashes, bumps and bruises. The basement builders' next Absent 35 years, hubby unwanted NANA1MO, B.C.
