The Alabama experiment, started in January 1947, was the Brat development Gas Turbines Boost Venezuelan Oil Output Ca* Tunamss will eoon be pumping gas from oil wells back into field reser voirs to conserve energy and Increase ultimate production. Ceneral Electric Co has shipped the first two of ten tur bines to the Creole Petroleum Corp for the Tia Juana field in Lake Maracaibo. the subject Is so important that it prob ably will`not he abandoned entirely. Fields in Maracaibo, one of the major oil-producing areas of the world, are dotted with ` flow stations receiving a miiture of gas and oil from wells in the lake. The ten turbines, mounted on 340 X'130-ft platforms seven miles out on the lake, will receive gas piped at (Continued on page 238) For coming event* see page 840 Fund, North of Scotland Hydroelectric Board and the British Electric Authority! will meet Initial capital and development costs. The Hydroelectric Board will; handle running costs. There are about 600-million tons of peat solids, suitable for use o> available in Scotland. If the present project is successful, the Hydroelectric Board plans further development1 ,er the entire area.
