period January to October the rate of field production was held
at a dally average of 18,000 net barrels but as a result of the
rapid progress of the rehabilitation programme field production
was increased to 20,000 net barrels a day from the 1 st of
November and held at that rate until the end of the.year.
During the year a very large construction programme
was undertaken to provide facilities for the production of
aviation spirit and to increase the quantities of other products
