Description: 
This institute synthesizes organic monomers and polymers from petro- 
leum products, develops new processing techniques for lubricating oils and 
turbine fluids, studies new organic reactions, and synthesizes lubricants 
and oil additives. Properties of organic fluids and effects of additives 
on oils are studied. An ultrasonic apparatus for extracting resinous 
substances, shell and tube heat exchangers, a portable indicator for radio- 
activity, an automatic electronic rotary viscosimeter, and a transmitter to 
record under and over pressures have been designed at the Institute. New 
geophysical methods for oil prospecting and the economics of the oil industry 
are studied. 
Among the departments of the Institute are the Department of Oil- 
Field Geology, Department of Thermal Engineering and Hydraulics, and 
Department of Petroleum and Gas Technology. There is a Laboratory of 
Organic Chemistry. A Trudy is published by the Institute.
