Plans for Harbor Gas Injection Plant Disclosed

Preliminary plans for a harbor gas injection plant were turned over to the Harbor Commission. Prepared by J D Gill under contract with the department, the proposal outlines a full scale 20,000,000 cubic feet per day compressor plant costing about 1 500 000 dollars. Current plans call for a 6,000,000 cubic feet per day pilot plant. The plan aims to use gas injection to boost oil recovery and to provide storage for dry gas for the Municipal Gas Department. The program remains stalled pending amendment to the contract between the Long Beach Oil Development Co and the Harbor Department. LBOD develops city oil at the harbor. A revised contract amendment was also presented by LBOD and laid over for a week for study.
