This memorandum is in response to the referenced requirements which ask for a descri ti o of th -- . _ - _ p e petroleu re fin geograc coordinates; estimation of aerial extent; enumerate the individual phoLogra~enlargements of the refineries. 2. The Fergana Petroleum Refinery, the major petroleum refinery in the Fergana Valley, is located on the southeast outskirts of Margelan. The refinery proper is conprised of: a series of units for the refining of crude oil; a heat and power p1 t; cracking units; primary and secondary distillation units; tank farm and a nitrogen fertilizer plant located in the southern part of the refinery area. Comparison photography from KEYHOLE would 25X1 D indicate that the heat and power plant and re ng units as a whole, are operational. The nitrogen fertilizer plant possibly could be on'limited .production. In general, expansion and development of the refinery appears to be in middle-to-final stages of construction, with some units in operation. The installation is both road and rail served. The refinery covers an area approxi- mately 13,000 feet by 14,400 feet and its coordinates are 400 27'N - 710 47'E. 3. The Vannovskiy Petroleum Refinery is a pre war facility and is located on the Fergana Valley branch line of the Trans-Caspian Railroad approximately 9 nm west of Margelan. The refinery contains crude stills, distillation units and approximately 110 small, medium and large storage tanks. The installation is both road and rail served.

The refinery covers an area approximately 5,280 x 3,660 feet and its coordinates are 400 26'N - 710 31'E. 4. The Kim Petroleum Refinery, probably for the most part merely processes crude oil by antichlorination and desulphurization through the use of heat treaters and separators. There could possibly be a small distillation unit present at this location but from the photography such a unit could not be identified. The installation is only road served. The Kim Oilfield is covered with good quality photography. All of its well locations, gathering lines and storage tanks are clearly visible. The refinery covers an area approximately 900 feet by 1,1+00 feet and its coordinates are 400 12'N - 7o0 28'E. 6.

The photo :analyst assigned to this project was who may be contacted on extension 2934 should you have further questions regarding these projects. This requirement is considered to be complete as-of the date of this memorandum.
