Inefficiency fa the production of credo oil era dimmed in this the third of 12 articles by Rodney Dutcher Washington correspondent for The Morning News and KEA Service By RODNEY DUTCHER (Copyright 192 NEA fhrrvluc Ine WASHINGTON Feb Under a general policy of "get your neigh bor's oil before he gets yours" hun dreds of millions of barrels of oil and hundreds of millions of dollars have been wasted during the development of the American oil Industry to its present chaotic period of overproduction Thii waste still goes on It is due not so much to overproduction but rather to overcom-petion among producers Hera is how the present which even cautious man as President Cool-ldge has called "wasteful to an alarming actually works: Gas Pressure Determines Flow Oil deposits especially the largest and richest spread out under large areas of land the surface owner ship of which is divided among many individuals and competing companies Once reservoir la tapped the oil spouts end flows under the pressure oT natural gas within When the gas gives out the oil stops flow-ng or subsides to negligible proportions The first man to drill gets the oil To use concrete example suppose 40 companies each own ten acres In 400 acres covering an oil deposit of like dimensions If 9 of them agree to leave the oil in the ground the other owner is still able under the present disorganised condition of this industry to drill his own wells and pump off all the extractable oil in the entire field The result is mad scramble to get the largest amount of oil while the getting ia good And the natural gas pressure that produces the oil is reduced as each new well begins to flow It Is this sort of thing which occurred In the great Seminole field of Oklahoma and forced crude oil prices down from 6260 to 9130 a barrel The most serious feature of it ia that it involves wasteful methods of production at a time when no one knows how long the oil reserves of this country are going to last and when soma experts predict a famine within a few years Left Half of the OR In one Instance where 45 oil companies scrambled fr oil in new field the federal oil conservation consisting of cabinet Secretaries Hoover Work Wilbur and Dwight found that competition caused a dissipation of gas pressure which left in the upper sands of the field es much oil as was actually procured Thii was the Santa Fe Springs fields of California the largest flush pool in recent yean which contributed 11 per cent of the national oil production in 1923 If the oil board la correct nearly 70000000 barrels of oil were lost because the 45 companies went the limit in competition instead of resorting to some co-operative agreement It estimated the Well Is Found Standing In Oil At 913 Feet COLEMAN Feb Reversing the decision

inter-county good roads conferences held and scheduled in Odessa during February following inspection tours conducted by representatives of this city and county Extension of hard surfaced highways similar to the pavement being constructed by Ector county from Odessa to the Crane county line was promised through Crane and Upton counties by representatives here Friday to discuss improved transportation for the nearby oil fields Representatives of Andrews Terry and Gains counties at a conference here Friday outlined plans for additional improvements and a wider right-of-way for the highway connecting the Odessa and Panhandle oil fields on which designation as a state highway will be applied for thU year on the entire route from Amarillo to the Bank-head highway here and through

Cash prizes for the best par cent-ages will be paid and the count of the contestants will be accepted The purpose of the contest is to induce everyone who has chickens' -to check up cn their flock ard see whether or not they are paying as egg producers and also to impress poultry raisers with the desirability of keeping better chickens 'awt reached astonishing proportions Some idea of the unknown total waste of ges may be gained by the estimate that at one period during the heydey of the Cushing field in Oklahoma more than 300000000 cubic feet of gas was wasted every day This amounted to more then one hundred billion cubic feet in a year the fuel equivalent of 5500500 tons of coal Henry Doherty has cited a case where gas waste figures were four times as luge as those at the Cushing field I The oil board explains that the gas is wasted by blowing it Into the air to hasten the flow of an' other result of the unrestricted com' petition Another form of waste speaking in a broad sense is the unrestricted use of oil a limited resource hi' stead of coal a practically unlimited resource Some uses of oil obviously are more essential Hum others Ap parently restriction will not come before oil prices go so high aa to face a widespread return to coaL Oil men are sharply divided as to the best method of reducing waste in the Industry "Overproduction today la Injuring millions who have their wealth invested In oil companies" says Secretary Work "It is injuring the great producing and refining companies it is depleting a national resource that can never be replaced Over-supply of an

be pointed out that the competitive struggle caused serious overproduction end drastic price cuts The loss of oil Itself seems most serious of all in view of the uncertain longevity of the national supply but there are other wastes and losses in the industry some of them as a result of this same overcompetition zSccretary of the Interior Work chairman of the oil board recently I ted estimates that investors In oil stocks had lost from 3500000000 to 31000000000 aa a result of overproduction Although larger companies can store oil above ground while smaller companies ere forced to sell oil at below cost face ruin the average storage cost is 50 cents a barrel and the above ground stores always rae endangered by fire from lightning or other causes Unnecessary oil wells drilled and equipped at a 'cost of 3200000 each are another large source of economic waste The waste of natural gas in oil wells has already been mentioned it affects the rate of extracts-blllty of oil One owner may so squander gas pressure that he will prevent owners of neighboring land bom obtaining any oil at all and at the same time obtain only a small proportion of what he would get from beneath his own
