Geological and Seismic .—Consequent upon a decision to retest the

This work was completed by May and the final locations settled by the
middle of the year.
Hoads .—At the same time that geological work was proceeding work
on reconditioning the road between Ganoweh and Gach Qaraghuli was put
in hand to make it suitable for the modern heavy transport. In addition
to this line of communications from the south, a road was constructed from
Gach Qaraghuli through Gach-i-Pokak to the North-West to connect up
with the Iranian Government road from Behbehan. This road was then
extended beyond Behbehan to connect up with our operations in Pazanun
thus giving" through access to the Iranian railway running from Bandar
Shapur to Ahwaz and to our headquarters in Masjid-i-Sulaiman.

Gach Qaraghuli have been reconditioned and put into commission. In

Gach Qaraghuli to house the staff that it has been necessary to put mto
the area to° carry out the drilling programme. A transit shed has been
erected at Ganoweh. Stores, workshop and garage facilities have been
extended and modernised at Gach Qaraghuli.
