Hassi Messaoud Field
This article is in the wrong place: Hassi Messaoud is a large oil field in Saudi Arabia Algeria; this is something about a new kind of pump. (I think? It's almost completely incomprehensible.) It has to be moved to another location, at the least; however, I'd suggest we delete it. Eugene van der Pijll 20:02, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Concur w/ EvdP, except that the field seems to be in Algeria. I cannot find anything that looks like the pump this article seems to be extolling. The region apparently also was formerly an oasis for traders in the Sahara, if someone finds enough info on that I would support it, but the oilfield itself (and certainly this article) seems non-notable.

 * The oil field has an article in the Encyclopedia Britannica, so it may be notable enough for us. (This is unrelated with the current article under discussion, of course.) Eugene van der Pijll 22:11, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
