Fetrbl.ewn ~aorkers of the Bashkir ASSR have assumed new obligations for
1951.. By m~byli.~ing available reserves they have resolved to extract con-
siderably iaore petroleum during the year than previously and to achieve
higher tecYmkcal. progress.
Contoural flooding employed in the Tuymazy oil fields !ass originated
by Boviet ecle:ice. This method makes it possible to extract at the cheapest
rate all pet_*oleum Prom the deposit, not one third to one ha?.P as uaa the
case xhen the old method rasa used. With this new type of exploitation of
petroleum deposits the drilling front is greatly narrowed, drilling time
definitely is decreased, and savings to the State are increased. Production
coats of one ton of petroleum are lowered to one sixth their former rate.
simultaneously with contoural flooding, nee Boviet techniques are spread-
ing widely. In addition to the machines and instruments provided by indus-
try, technical innovations, suggestions of inventors, efficiency experts,
and-oil field workers are being utilized. special scraper dewaxing devices
hwe oven introduced to remove wax which is precipitated on the walls of
comspreseor-pump pipes. These devi~as are lowered and hoisted by electric
winches. The automatic scraper designed by the Ufa Scientific Research Petro-
leum Institute is particularly effective.
Many oil wells hale been provided with automatic liquid-level controls
and?gas-pressure regulator valves. At oil field No 1 of the Tr~ymazaneft'
Tivst a dispatcher system oP control with a block system has been put in
effect in a number of wells. Row, operators can service five to six wells
from one point .

their past ac.hi.evements and make pledges for 1951 as follows;
They Etatr, that they completed the postwar live-Fear Yian ahead of
schedule, as vela as the additional pledgee ~rhich they had made for the yearn
They extrar~tect 2.5 tim?:, as much petroleum in 1950 as in 1946, rei'ired twine
se much pet:~ieu^c, carr.ed eat 3.; times as much oil-well drilling and 6.5
times as such construction and assembly ~aorko
During the peat 5 years, petroleum fields and refineries gave the state
117 milling rubles of accumulatlone above-plan The year 150 showed in-
creases over 194y as follews~ for petro].Pum extraction, 30 percent; for
refining, b,5 percent; fc;r drilling, 207 percent; and for construction,
49 ~.5 percent
During the past 5 years, 379,000 square meters of living quart~ra were
constructed and put in use, including 114,000 square meters in 1950. Dozens
of new schools, new clubs, hoap3tsls stores, public eating places, bathe,
kindergartens, and nurseries were conatructed~
The petroleum workers pledge toy
1.. Increase petroleum extraction 22.4 percent above their 1950 achieve-
ment and deliver 1.00,000 tons of petroleum above the plan established for
1951>
2a Complete the p3an for drilling ahead of schedule and increase .tha
speed of drilling 15 percent for exoloitational drilling, 16 percent for
exploratory drilling? and 5 percent for shallow (krelius) drillingo Drill
