UPI Telephoto. University with a Secondary Oil Recovery Method Could Reduce Foreign Dependence By LeROY POPE UPI Business Writer NEW YORK(UPI) — Large scale productionofcil by steam injection —a process that could cut current U.S dependence on imports —should be spurred by President Carter's decontrol of prices for the heaviest grades of crude. according to a manufacturer of oil recovery equipment. John Fanaritis, an executive vicepresident of Struthers Wells Corp. at Warren, Pa., said there are 305 billion barrels of crude oil in the ground too heavy to be recovered by ordinary means “Enough of that could be recovered by steam injection to equalthe nation’s present imports of 8.5 million barrels of foreign oil daily for the next 20 years,” Fanaritis said. “If thepriceof oil averages$25 a barrel on the world market over the next ten years, the United States could save up to $750 billion by recoveringoil by steam injection and wiping out imports,” he said. For only $475 million in capital outlays, Fantaritis said, 500,000 barrels of heavyoil could be recovered daily (the president’s goal for 1990) by installing 835 special type steam generators to force the steam into the ground, thin the oil and makeit flow so it can be pumped. Hesaid industry capacity is such that the first generators could be put into service in six months and a program of this magnitude completed within three years. There also are chemical methods of extracting oil and at least one company, United International Research, Inc., Hauppauge, N.Y., has announced that, as a result of decontrol, it expects to start operations in heavy crude in California. Fanaritis said the steam process has been thoroughly tested on the heavy crude in California fields where up to 220,000 barrels a day have been produced. High processing costs and the price ceiling — an average of $6 a barrel compared with the world levelof $18 a barrel — have discouraged development of heavy crude and really large scale use of secondary recovery methods is dependent on more than limited deregulation, Fanaritis said. The President last month called on thenation to turn its attention to oil not recoverable by normal methods and said he would deregulate heavy crude prices to stimulate secondary methods of recovery. It was not unti! this month that he defined just what grade of crude would be decontrolled and so, Fanaritis said, noonefelt there was a go-ahead for steaminjection projects. While Fanaritis feels the definition wasnot broad enough it applied only Firm Forms British Unit cuicaco (UPI) — International Harvester has announced formation of a new British ing 305 billion barrels. Early Corporation Finally Closes Out Its Business BACCHUS, Utah (UPI) — Oneof Utah's first corporations will go out of business this summer because the creek dried up 50 years ago. The Coon CanyonIrrigation Co., was formedin Pleasant Green, now Magna, in 1887 when Utahwasstill a territory. But company board member Carl Erickson said that for the past 50 years the firm hasn’t done much business because the Coon Canyon Creek has been mostly dry during that period. There is no record of any Coon Canyonirrigation since the mid-1940s with stream flow erratic or zero. . The Coon family formed the firm to help make a small community, Coon- Oil and gas drilling in the central Utahvicinity of the Thrust Belt-Hingeline province is attracting considerable attention, according to Carlton Stowe, spokesman for the Utah Department of Natural Resources. The U.S. Geological Survev aporoved a 4,000-acre unit agreement surrounding the town of Moroni this week, The acreage within the unitized area,..39,731 acres, is held by Hanson Oil Company, the operatorof the unit and Phillips Petroleum along with Cities Service Oil Company Hanson and True Oil just recently temporaril; abandoned the No. 1A-X loroni wellat a total dep of 21,204 feet. West of Ephraim, Mobil Oilis drilling at a depth of 10,550 feet at the No. 1 Larson Unit, a scheduled 13,100 foot Navajo formation test. Mobil will also drill a projected 3,000 foot exploratory test well in this area at the No. 1 Neilson. The area is some20 miles southwesiof the abandoned Joes Valley field. The nearest current production is 30 miles to the northeast in Clear Creek field. In Sevier County, Gulf Oil is drilling below 7,700 feet at the No. 1 Johnson Livestock venture about 20 miles southwest of the town of Emery. Gulf's exploratory test is scheduled toat least 10,600 feet. Harvester United International Research estimated higher price alone will probablytriple production of the heavy erade at present totaling only about 250,000 barrels a year out of reserves estimated at anywhere from 10 billion to 30billion barrels. Oil production by conventionaldrilling methods is woefully inefficient in termsof getting outall the oil.It is estimated that of 450 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in the United States, only 115 billion have been recovered by ordinary drilling and only another30 billion can be.
