Ar C. Inters Wednesday Morning, January 14, 1970 Fort Worth STAR-TELEGRAM 7-C Board Approves Increase in SACROC AUSTIN (Spl) The Railroad Commission has approved an increase in allowable for the Scurry Area Canyon Reef Operating Committee (SACROC) unit in Scurry County and approved injection of carbon dioxide for secondary recovery purpose. Standard Oil Co. of Texas, operator of the unit, presented the proposals at an Oct. 7 hearing when no opposition was expressed.

The allowable was increased from 174,270 barrels daily to 209,121 barrels, subject to proration, effective with the start of construction on the pipeline or compression facilities required to transport carbon dioxide. Another increase to 243,978 barrels per day will be effective with the start of carbon dioxide injection, planned through 172 injection wells. The program is estimated to cost $125 million and will increase the ultimate oil recovery by 156 million barrels. SACROC has been conducting a waterflood in the huge Canyon reef area of the Kelly-Snyder field since 1954. The field is one of the major Cities Propose Compromise On Gas Rates Star- Telegram Austin Bureau AUSTIN An accountant representing cities served by Pioneer Natural Gas Co.

I has proposed the Railroad Commission set new gas rates of 27 to 30 cents per 1,000 cubic feet for the Amarillo company. Suggested rates would be a compromise between the 34- cent rate Pioneer is seeking and its present 28-cent gate rate. The company also wants an allowance for federal surtax. Wayne Brown of Pampa, a certified public accountant, told Railroad Commission examiners Tuesday all gas sold by the company should be priced at the same rate, regardless of amount or consistency of use. A company spokesman said such a move "would price the industrial users out of the West Texas area." In response to "clarifying questions" asked by Pioneer attorney Sam Winters of Austin, Brown said the cities' rate calculations did not include provisions for peak day demands.

The hearing was recessed until Jan. 29. REPUBLIC IC oil reservoirs in the nation and the SACROC unit is one of the largest waterflood projects in the world. The increase in was sought to compensate for the large expenditure involved in laying a pipeline 200 miles from the Val Verde Basin compressor facilities and ether equipment.
