Postwar plans call for large scale laying of double

Surveys must be conducted with objective of deter-
mining locations where double tracks would serve
best. Partial laying of double trackage would speed

Oil production increased 19.6%; benzine production
35.7%; kerosene 25.59 and Diesel oil 31.3% over 1946
production. Prospect drilling has increased 50% over
prewar level:- Eastern regions-became more important
in USSR oil supply. In comparison with 1940, specific
weight from these regions in total Soviet oil produc-
tion increased three-fold. Goals for expansion and
production In 1948 are given.

Because of their economical aspects, process of

ondary exploitation occupy a special place among
modern methods of increasing output of petroleum.
Bconomio effectiveness of process of maintaining
stratified pressures and secondary methods of ex-
ploitation is confirmed by data from technological-

By using viscous admixtures it is possible to obtain
an oil which has less viscosity at low temperatures
and a more sloping viscosity-temperature curve than
ordinary oils Increase of molecular weight of the
admixture increases steepness of temperature curve of
viscosity of equally condensed oils. Viscosity of
oils containing viscous admixtures remains stable dur-
ing long storage.

Thermochemioal method is most common method of proo-
seeing an entlsion, which is subjected to heating wit
simultaneous introduction of chemical reagents. Con-
sidering that oil has a high +^nmerature at bore of
well,, authors propose, instead of heating of the oil
artificially, to introduce chemical reagents directly
into bore of well, which is exploited by means of a
compressor. Describes an apparatus designed for de-

Method consists of injecting water into petroleum bed
most suited chemically for increasing washing capacity
and coefficient of oil delivery. Water is injected
near border of water-oil contact in such a volume that
an active layer is formed.
