ask for a descri

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.

Comparison photography would indicate in general, expansion and
development of the plant appears to be nearly static with only a few relatively
minor changes noted. 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.
