PETROLEUM INDUSTRY COMPLETES 1949 PLAN?
DEEP-WELL PUMPS CRITICIZED
1949 OUTPUT UP 14.3 FERCENT -- Krasnaya Zvezda, No 306, 28 Dec 49
By 27 December, the Ministry of Petroleum Industry , had fulfilled the 1949
plan for petroleum extraction, and for the production of gasoline, ligroine,
kerosene, lubricating oil, aviation oil, and petroleum bitumen. Petroleum out-
put for 1949 exceeded that for 1948 by 14.3 percent, including gasoline, 9.1
percent; kerosene, 16.8 percent; and Diesel fuel, 31.1 percent.
SPEED IN DRILLING WELLS INCREASES -- Pravda, No 363, 29 Dec 49
An article by N. Baybakov, Ministry of Petroleum Industry USSR, gives the
following facts on improved technology in the industry and plane for future
development.
Drilling speeds have been increased considerably by the introduction of
the turbine methods. In Tuymazy and Krasnokamak, for instance, where the rock
encountered is very hard, average drilling speeds during the past 2 years have
been increased 100 percent. A percent achievement of domestic technology has
been the method of drilling slanting shafts, which solves the difficult problem
of utilizing the highly-productive residual pools lying under structures, rivers,
and the bottom of the sea.
The petroleum industry has been completely freed from dependence upon im-
ported equipment.
ACHIEVE DRILLING RECORD -- Bakinskiy Rabochiy, No 2, 3 Jan 50
A new all-Union record was set when well No 499 of the "ruzovnyneft" Trust
was drilled to a depth of 1,906 meters at an average speed, including stops,
of 4,341.3 meters per machine-mouth. Drillin- was begun on the well 19 Decem-
ber and completed in 316 hours, 60 percent le.-s than the norm. #e drilling was

Up to a depth of 790 meters the r_,r,:r revolved at a speed of 518 revo-
lutions. Two pumps worked simultaneously. Two branch pipes were attached
to the ShV-14 swivel to permit more intensive rinsing of the shaft. From
a depth of 790 meters to a depth of 1 .537 oaeters the drilling was lone at a
second speed of 296 revolutions. Only 14 bits, half of t..e
