It is a platform about the size of a football field, resting 14 feet above the lake's waters on 3.r0 concrete piles driven into the lake bed. On the platform, seven miles offshore in the midst of the der rick "forest," are buildings that house huge engines, elaborate control panels and other en gineering devices. It's the Creole Petroleum Cor poration's new gas conservation plant which was dedicated re cently. Its job is to boost the already rich yield of crude oil in the Lake Maracaibo basin, which now provides 10 per cent of the world's petroleum. This is how it works: - The natural gas which always comes up with crude oil in drill ing operations is separated and piped to the unique plant on the platform. There the huge machines take ever and shoot the gas at terrific pressure back down to below the lake bottom, where what engineers call "the oil producing formation" is located. Miles of Pipe This formation is a tilted bed of three sections of sandstone, about 9,800 acres in area. The vital oil is in the lower and middle parts of the formation. The gas, shot back into the well at great pressure, forces the oil into wells at the "bottom" end of the tilted slab. This oil, which would not be obtainable otherwise, then is piped up. It helps maintain Venezuela as the third greatest petroleum-producing nation of the world, outranked only by the United States and Russia. Creole Petroleum engineers, who have overcome many prob lems in bringing oil up through 62 to 65 feet of water from the lake bottom, really had a tough one in piping it to the "new look" plant. The job involved laying about 12 miles of pipe on the floor of the lake to carry the gas from eight "flow stations" where it is separated from the oil. The pipes had to be 24 to 30 inches in size, which made them buoyant in the lake waters. The buoyancy problem was solved by encasing each pipe in concrete to hold it to the bottom of the lake. By that process, each foot of 30-inch pipe weighed 562 pounds. As We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. Girl Is Embarrassed By Boyfriend's Looks A person who has some facial disfigurement is likely to be extremely sensitive about it. Any mention of the matter re quires great tact. (Q) "My boyfriend was In an accident and had his tour front teeth knocked out. Now he has joined the Army. Will they put his teeth in? I don't like to ask him. It embar rasses me to be seen with him; this has changed his whole looks. What do you advise me to do? (A) For the sake of your friendship with this young man, I advise you to urge him to have some mmg done about the missing teeth as soon as pos sible. Unless he does, his jaws will be gin to shrink, and this will change, the !-n - whole shape Dr. Huxlock of his face. This has doubtless already hap pened to some extent. I do not know what the Army regulations are about replacing missing teeth when they were missing at ; the time of enlist ment. He can easily find out. The doctor who examined him when he enlisted undoubtedly mentioned the matter. You do not say what the ac cident was that caused him to lose his teeth. If it was an auto mobile accident," did he have in surance to cover injuries, or did the other driver carry insurance? He may have looked into this before he joined the Army. When " you mention the mat ter, be sure to use real tact. Do not imply that you are embar rassed to be seen with him. He could easily interpret this to mean thst you did not really love him. Put your emphasis on his welfare, not on your feel ings. " " " ' " ; If you are as good friends as your reference to him as your "boyfriend" would imply, you should not hesitate to mention the matter.-1 am sure it' is a source of real concern to him; he may be wondering why you have not shown your concern too.
