In the Oil and Gas Field
November Pipe Line Runs

November Pipe Line Runs
The pipe line statement as furnish
ell by the Prairie Oil & Gas ca, shows
tn, runs for the month of November
to amount to 175,751 barrels, figure
which has nevr before been reached
IN this field. and one which two years
ago would have been thought impos-
sible for it to have attained
The statement does not show how
the runs are divided into districts
further than the general division or
the field recently adopted by the COM
panv, South Neodesha and North Ne
odesha. Just where the line is drawn
ia not stated, presumably between
Chanute and Neodefha. The runs
for the South Neodesha field are con
s,derably in excess Of those from
North Neodesha which is accounted
for bv the new production recently
brought in at Independence, and that
the oil from BartleSville fields is be
ing taken more regularly than at any
previous time.
The statement Of the runs FOR the
month Ia Of a most gratifying nature.
and carries out the prediction made
| in this paper that the end OF the cur
rent wear would see the one million
barrel mark reached in the Kansas
production, the total runs for the
eleven months passed amounting to
1856 800 barrels leaving 1873, 1850 barrels
TO he run for the month Of Dece mher
tn reach this figure, and the PROBABLE
titles are that the figure named will be
somewhat exceeded, as the produc-
tion will he heavier in December than
in any previous month.
The Standard Oil company is stim
ulating as much as possible, the Wis
ibIe supply Of the eastern fields grad
uaIly growing less and less. Reserve
stocks are heing drawn upon to make
ND deficiency from this cause. This
stimulation is being felt In the Kan
sas field, as will be seen from the
statement Of wells brought in, the
November statement showing II to he
the heaviest month 10 this line.
With the good weather conditions
now prevailing, 1t looks as though the
high water mark will be reached In
December. There is an enormous
amount Of new work under wav, ann
the completion for December should
run considerably over 300 wells. With
the advent of spring the rush from
the eastern fields will commence, and
! by the middle Of next summer the
new work completed and under way
should and will most probably reach
close to one thousand wells month.
A great deal Of wild eating ia go
ing on, and number OF wellsof this
class should come in within the next
few weeks, and should any new pools
he opened up at a distance from the
present field, there will be great
deal of this class of work done, and
especially so until parties holding
leases 10 the developed territory are
willing to let them be operated on a
legitimate basis.-Kahsas Derrick.
