    DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
    
    Antitrust Division
    
    
    Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
    Production Act of 1993--Petroleum E&P Research Cooperative 
    (``Cooperative'')
    
        Notice is hereby given that, on March 27, 1998, pursuant to Section 
    6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
    15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Petroleum E&P Research 
    Cooperative (``Cooperative'') has filed written notifications 
    simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade 
    Commission disclosing changes in its project status. The notifications 
    were filed for the purpose of extending the Act's provisions limiting 
    the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified 
    circumstances.
        The Cooperative intends to undertake the following research 
    projects: (1) Intelligent Well Completions--Phase I. This project 
    details only the Phase I of what is now envisioned as a multi-phase 
    project for Intelligent Well Completions and addresses the need to 
    identify the gaps in current technology and define the technology 
    needs. (2) Integrated Analysis of ``Next Generation'' Compact 
    Separation Technology concepts. This project is designed to identify 
    and to quantify the comparative advantages associated with implementing 
    state-of-the-art compact separation technology components into 
    integrated designs for the `next generation' E&P facilities. 
    Differential cost, size and weight considerations will be quantified. 
    (3) Cavity Like Completions in Weak Sands. This project seeks to 
    identify where/when/how deliberate sand flowback/surging/jetting can 
    lead to significant productivity/injectivity increases, and stabilize a 
    well against sand production.
        No other changes have been made in either the membership or planned 
    activity of the group research project. Membership in this group 
    research project remains open, and Petroleum E&P Research Cooperative 
    (``Cooperative'') intends to file additional written notification 
    disclosing all changes in membership.
        On January 16, 1997, Petroleum E&P Research Cooperative 
    (``Cooperative'') filed its original notification pursuant to Section 
    6(a) of the Act. The Department of Justice published a notice in the 
    Federal Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act on February 13, 
    1997 (62 FR 6801).
        The last notification was filed with the Department on August 22, 
    1997. A notice was published in the Federal Register pursuant to 
    Section 6(b) of the Act on November 28, 1997 (62 FR 63389).
