In the West Virginia oil fields
an experiment has just been
made by the Standard Oil COM
pany. testing the availability of
electricity in pumping oil wells.
According to the reports given
out the test has shown that in
every way the new means of pow
er will be superior to the old
steam power.
Ever since the drilling of oil
wells became an important bust
ness and occupation, the question
of the water supply for the boil
ers has been a serious one. In
many instances in dry weather all
work has to be stopped. In 9TH
ers water could only be got by
piping it from streams several
miles off, the expense of which
would be no small item.
In the Uniontown. O., oil field,
for instance, not an important
field by any means, but an exam
pie of the difficulties that the
lack of a water supply produce,
water has to be piped to some of

ELECTRICITY USED IN OIL FIELDS

the wells a distance of about two
miles. In a small production this
extra expense knocked off con-
siderably from profits.
The use of electricity will be a
great advantage to the operators
of wells. Besides doing away
with the frequent expense OF OBJ
tanning water it will also do away
with the expensive and difficult
transportations, especially at GER
tain times of the year, Of the
heavy boilers.
The test in the Folsom field has
proved that electricity can be
used, and at a considerable saw
ing: that it is a field Of any size
where they are not too far apart,
One central plant under such
circumstances would supply pow
err for number of wells. The
number of workmen is lessened,
great saving of expense is
brought about. and in every way
the new system is so satisfactory
that in time it will become gen
orally adopted for at least the
larger fields.
