DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and
Production Act of 1933--Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
No. SC92/1074 Seismic Source Development
Notice is hereby given that, on May 26, 1995, pursuant to Section
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993,
15 U.S.C. 4301, et seq. (``Act''), the Participants in the Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement No. SC92/1074 (``CRADA'') titled
``Seismic Source Development,'' have filed written notifications
simultaneously with the Attorney General and with the Federal Trade
Commission disclosing (1) the identities of the parties to CRADA, and
(2) the nature and objectives of the venture. The notification 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 current parties participating in the CRADA are Amoco Production
Company, Tulsa, OK; Chevron Petroleum Technology Company, Houston, RX;
Conoco, Inc., Houston, TX; Exxon Production Research Production
Company, Houston, TX; E-Systems, Montek Division, Salt Lake City, UT;
Gas Research Institute, Chicago, IL; Pelton Company, Inc., Ponca City,
OK; and Sandia Corporation, Albuquerque, NM.
The objective of this Project is to investigate the feasibility
with respect to the technical definition and establishment of as well
as the development of a downhole seismic source. The general objectives
of the Project are to develop a seismic source having an advanced
hydraulic system with high-temperature electronics along with a high
frequency seismic receiver. This technology is useful to image the
region between two boreholes, to determine the geologic structure, rock
properties, and possibly the fluid statuation between the boreholes.
The seismic source developed hereunder is positioned in one borehole
and the seismic receiver is positioned in the other, to permit the
generation of a topographic image of the earth. The results of the
Project will be evaluated to demonstrate the potential for commercial
use of the technologies developed thereunder and to identify which
limiting factors might restrict this application.
Participation in this venture will remain open to all interested
persons and organizations until the Project Completion Date, which is
presently anticipated to occur approximately March 1, 1996. The
Participants intend to file additional written notifications disclosing
all changes in the membership of the group of Participants involved in
this Project.
Information regarding participation in the Project may be obtained
from Robert F. Heming, Chevron Petroleum [[Page 33434]] Technology
Company, 2811 Hayes Road, Houston, TX 77082.

Director of Operations Antitrust Division.
