Crude oil has had to be pumped prematurely at a number of wells because of declining pressure, and pumping will be required at still more wells in the near future. At one Belorussian deposit, many wells are idle because of mechanical problems, and production from active wells has been increased. This ap- proach will result in fulfillment of the current production plan but will reduce ultimate recovery of oil from this deposit alone by some l00,000 metric tons. Tremendous waste of crude oil and natural gas also has occurred in the immense Urals-Volga and West Siberian fields and elsewhere. Many unrecoverable pockets of oil have bee formed by improper water injection. Last year some l0 billion cubic me- ters of gas, about one fourth of I1 all the gas produced in conjunction with oil in the USSR, was flared. Moreover, such waste is continuing. In many cases, the exposure of scan- dalous waste reportedly has led only to unfulfilled promises that short- comings will be corrected. A number of factors contribute to the Soviets’ profligate treatment of their petroleum resources. The incentive system induces maximum production in the short—run regard- less of technical requirements and long—run consequences. Soviet pe- troleum technology and equipment are not up to Western standards. More- over, responsibility for oil and gas extraction is divided between two ministries, resulting in fre- quent failure to apply the best techniques available for exploit- ing associated deposits of oil and gaS- Eiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil <bx3 ‘S”E€'1%E51l Page 19 WEEKLY SUMMARY 8 May 70 Approved for Release: 2023/03/28 C03154550 )
