petroleum industry, the work of AZ111( is oriented in the
following direotions: (1) study of teohnologioal processes in
the petroleum industry for the purpose of mastering and improving
them; (2) rendering assistance to produotion in familiarisation
with new installations, apparatus, and equipment and in reveal

of new types of produotion on the basis of multilateral study
of the basic raw material (petroleum), and also of byproducts
and wastemprotucts of produotion.

In addition to these basic functions, AZMais occupied
to a considerable degree too with scientific-research problems
of a theoretical nature in the field of the petroleum business.
In a000rdanoe with these lines of acientifioiresearch
activity, AZJAhas during the period sinoe 1931 been working
on the following very important problems.
2401,1.11!1162EXIIEIE projects have been conducted on

The work of Ana in the field of eleotrooaretiage on

whioh is direoted toward study of the theoretieal basis of this
method of prospeoting and toward tits addition to it of changes
and oorreotions arising from tho ermine peouliarities of the
applioation of oarottage under the conditions imposed by our
fields, has reoeirsd approval tron the author of this method,
Professor Sdhlumberg. Unfortunately, the developmencb of this
work has hitherto been hindered by the absence of a staff and
insufficiency of suitable apparatus.
In the field of produotive work (drilling and the ex.
ploitation of drillings) mention should be made first of all
of the problem of the mud circulating solution, which plays
an essential role in the process of drillings a large project
has been carried out on the Oudy of the physieowohemioal and
hydraulio essence of mud solutions and on improving their
quality (addition of sialutsgeln, eto). As a result, hydraulic
theory of mud solutions has boon developed and it has appeared
possible to establish qualitative standards for the latter for
normal driiling oonditions and for dealing with omaplioated
instanees, such ass oastftoffs, maintenance of circulation, eto.
Brigades of Mai in the fields are, by way of dire**
assistance and training, eliminating failures assoolated with

this oirousstanco led to expansion of the rawmaterial base for
the extremily important production of bright stooks as well as
exposing the possibility of operating without the help of imparted

As the result of completion of a cycle of projects on
petroleums, the possibility of expanding the types of oils being

obtaining asphalt from left?over products of cracking has been
studied, and experiments have been performed on obtaining suite'
able commodities by means of mixing finished asphalts.
Certain modifications, 'which increase the output oapaaity
of the plant installation and reduce almost four times the length
of time of the process of obtaining asphalt, have been introduced
into the technological process of asphalt production which was
formerly employed. On the basis of this project pointers were
obtained which have been used as the basis for planning comm

which determine the character of the petroleum products being
produced at plants. This research serves as a foundation for
modification of the operating procedure in the obtaining of
certain produots for purposes of making them oonform as well as
possible to the operation of the engine.
In particular, exhaustive experiments are being performed
with Vokosh equipment on study of the properties and character*
istios of the bensizes which are being produced (mainly for
detonation).
