Management and geosciences program activities are reviewed briefly. The primary emphasis in geosciences is on continued data analysis and synthesis. The engineering program continued with numerical modelling activities. The HGP-A wellhead assembly has been modified to reduce the noise level, and a new wellhead platform has been built which meets OSHA standards. HGP-A has been flash discharged from January 26 to February 11, 1977 and data obtained for throttled flow conditions by inserting orifices of varied sizes in the discharge line. A second pressure buildup test was run after the well was shut-in. Pressure and temperature profiles have been obtained during discharge and quiescent periods. Reservoir analyses have been made using pressure buildup and drawdown data.
