Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative; Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Dehydration System Evaluation Project

    Notice is hereby given that, on August 8, 1994, pursuant to Section 
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
15 U.S.C. Sec. 4301, et seq. (``the Act''), the participants in the 
Dehydration System Evaluation Project (the ``Project'') filed written 
notifications simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal 
Trade Commission disclosing (1) the identities of the parties to the 
Project and (2) the nature and objectives of the venture. The 
notifications were filed for the purpose of invoking the Act's 
provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual 
damages under specified circumstances. Pursuant to Section 6(b) of the 
Act, the identities of the parties and the general area of planned 
activity are: Chevron Petroleum Technology Company, La Habra, CA, and 
Vortoil Separation Systems, Ltd., Gloucester, U.K. The nature of the 
research program performed in accordance with this Project is to 
evaluate water continuous separation systems that have less than 30% 
oil; oil continuous separation systems that have less than 40% water; 
and phase inversion separation systems that have 30% to 60% oil. The 
objectives are to (1) understand the process capabilities and 
limitations of liquid/liquid hydrocyclones in oil field production 
operations over the full range of oil/water ratios; and (2) to 
determine the optimum hydrocyclone design for separation of oil 
continuous mixtures and to develop a new liquid/liquid hydrocyclone 
utilizing the optimum design.
    Information about participating in this Project may be obtained by 
contacting William Bowers, Vortoil Separation Systems U.S.A. Houston, 
TX.
