2, Production. Main problems production concerning are as follows: the prevalency of chemical treatment, the quality of the sub-surface pumps and the pumping unit, the sub-surface hydraulic pump, the gas lift, controlling flowing well, and the number of employers in the oil field.
3, Miscellaneous. Manufacturers and service company is very active in U. S. A. The quality of engineer is superior concerning common sense, Main drilling operations should be included within producing operator drilling contract concerning in Japan.
