Gulf postpones oil recovery projects in West Texas
Gulf Oil Corp will delay full-scale enhanced oil recovery projects in West Texas until the end of the decade due to weak oil prices and economic pressures. An $8.5 million Odessa office project is on hold, while a 920-acre Crane County pilot continues with a 480-acre expansion delayed by CO2 supply and economics. The Odessa complex size may be revised after re-evaluation, and Gulf cites postponed major capital spending despite CO2 flooding prospects.

Senate kills Helms amnesty amendment on immigration reform
The Senate voted 76 21 to reject Sen Helms amendment seeking to strike the 1980 amnesty provision from the immigration reform bill. The measure would grant temporary resident status to illegal aliens who have resided since January 1 1980, with later permanent status for those here before 1977, and would cap legal immigration at 425 000 while easing deportation and asylum rules.
