More than 60 of the world’s top scientists are expected for the first International Conference on Living Resources of the Southern Ocean, Aug. 17-21. The meeting will be held at the National Academy of Sciences, Summer Studies Center in Woods Hole, Mass., according the con venor, Dr. Sayed Z. El-Sayed, pro fessor of oceanography at Texas A&M University. “The objective of this conference is to review the status of knowledge regarding the living resources of the Antarctic such as krill, squid, king crab, lobster, seals and whales,” ex plained Dr. El-Sayed. The conference will also discuss the proposals and recommendations regarding a coordinated, interna tional biological investigation of the Southern Ocean which Dr. El- Sayed heads. “This is the first symposium of its kind concerned with the regulation of the great resources of the South ern Ocean,” he said. “But the issue has become so urgent it can no longer be held in abeyance. We’ve got to try to get some agreement on measures to rationalize and conserve the resources in the Antarctic re gion. Already oil exploration and fishing exploitation have begun and their impact on the whole ecosystem should be carefully monitored." ’[The conference is held under the auspices of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences and is being sponsored by the Scientific Com mittee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and Scientific Committee on Ocean Research (SCOR) of the International Council of Scientific Unions. The invited scientists come from Argentina, Australia, Canada, New oil recovery methods needed Chile, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Po land, South Africa, United King dom, U.S.A. and Russia. Gov ernmental and non-governmental organizations such as the Interna tional Oceanographic Commission (IOC), International Whaling Commission (IWC), and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), will be send ing delegates to that conference. The legal and international as pects of exploiting these resources will also be discussed at the confer ence. Participants will split into several working parties. Each will provide a summary of the dis cussions and the recommendations which took place during their ses sions. One hopes that, through the dis cussions of these experts at Woods Hole, steps will be taken to give sci entific foundation for development and wise management of Antarctic living marine resources,” Dr. El- Sayed noted. “The meeting will also provide an opportunity to set a standard for international coopera tion in conservation of these re- Texans could walk off and leave one hundred billion barrels of oil underground unless more sophisti cated and less expensive oil recov ery methods are developed, re ported Dr. Paul B. Crawford, assis tant director of the Texas Petroleum Research Committee at Texas A&M University. The original oil-in-place in all the known oil fields of Texas has been estimated to be slightly in excess of one hundred and fifty billion barrels of oil, Crawford said. Cumulative production is approximately forty billion barrels. It is expected that an ultimate recovery of near fifty bil lion barrels of oil will be obtained from our known oil fields using the usual oil recovery methods. This leaves Texans with one hundred bil lion barrels of oil known to be in place, yet not recoverable using conventional recovery methods under the present economic condi tions, he said. If through research we can learn Ab-M sponsors workshop Texas A&M University will spon sor a facilities design workshop this week. It will involve 10 specialized people in industrial engineering department-conducted sessions at the Zachry Engineering Center. Dr. Rod Heisterberg of the indus trial engineering faculty is in charge. The five-day workshop staff will be composed wholly of department fa culty. Heisterberg said operations man agement and technical staff person nel from several Texas industries will be involved. “We will go into industrial facilities design from the standpoint of plant layout and materials han dling systems,” he explained. Participants will come from a vari ety of industries, from ship building to bowling ball manufacturing. a SKAGGS TnTTTFFTTP DRUGS & FOODS UNIVERSITY DRIVE AT COLLEGE AVENUE MONDAY-SATURDAY 8 AM TO 12 PM SUNDAY 9 AM TO 10 PM PRICES EFFECTIVE WED.-SAT.

At ten dollars per barrel this would provide a gross income of one hundred billion dollars to the economy of Texas and provide about fifteen billion dollars for the royalty owners of the state. This is a real challenge, but the goals may be ob tained through creative thinking in the research laboratories and practi cal planning by the oil and gas pro ducers of Texas, Crawford said. If the necessary research is not done, the oil will be left under ground in abandoned oil fields, Crawford concluded.
