SAN juan FIELDS
IDEALLY UNIFORM
Geological Formation of Utah
Oil Lands Is Without a
Break or Fault

From the standpoint of uniformity of
formation the San Juan oil field in Utah
is ideal in every way. The field proper
covers an area of about 10 by 25 miles,
but the oil showings extend along the
san Juan river for a distance of rs
miles. The field slopes gently from the
west and the east to a central location
on Lime creek The formation is very
regular, as there. are no breaks or
faults anywhere in the region.
While in other oilfields extensive
drilling must be done to locate the
number of sands and the thickness of
each, in the San Juan field the San Juan
river has cut through the formation,
exposing the strata to depth of 1000
feet. This extensive erosion into the
formation gives definite idea of the
location and thickness of several oil
sands
Altogether biologists have found
eight distinct oil sands, aggregating
more than 800 feet in thickness 1t is
estimated from the geological age of
the rocks that two or three additional
oil sands exist below these already
known. which will probably produce
equally as well as the upper sands.
In the district proper there is no
choice of land. as all portions seem to
have favorable points. The land In the
low portions near the center of the field
has already produced oil, which proves
1T to be valuable, yet great many op-
orators prefer to seek higher ground.
on the theory that oil works upward.
The shallow sands In the center of the
field have shown oil wherever they have
been tapped, thus proving the richness
of the sand.

LAkEVIEW We'll
SHOWING DECLINE
Famous Oil Gusher Is Not Yield
ing the Remarkable Output
of Its Birth

Dispatches from the oil fields bring
the information that there is no longer
any doubt as to the decline in the flow
of the Lakeview. The stream has been
diminishing gradually and is now only
about half its original size. The geolo-
gists who have visited II within the
last week are inclined to believe that
the monster will soon have receded to
of the field. The percentage of water
has grown slightly. but not sufficient
ly to cause apprehension.
There will always be uncertainty as
to the greatest single days output of
the Lakeview. 1t has been estimated
at from $4,000 to 100000 barrels, but
undoubtedly it was much nearer the
former than the latter figure. When
the first exact measurements were
made, the we'll was producing $4,000
barrels a day. 1t continued for four
months to yield between 10000 and
$4,000 barrels. A short time ago ii fell
perceptibly Within the last 10 days
it has not exceeded 2S.o00 and at times
has been little over 10000. This of
course, is mighty big in itself. but
to the geoHogists it reads like the first
phrases in the obituary of the Lake
view.
I've we'll stands as the greatest in
the history of the petroleum industry.
1t has put the Union oil company to
extreme measures to handle the out
put. The yield will be held in storage
and ultimately marketed through the
producers agency.

OIL OIL EVERYWHERE,

Down in Maricopa and Taft water is
worth more than oil. Neither is that
because oil is cheap, but because there
is very little water. Most of it goes

strike is hailed with as much elation
as gusher. The following is from the
Maricopa Oil News:
The July oil company. operating on
the north so of the southwest quarter
of section 35. in 1928. two and haff
miles west of Maricopa. has opened
a mammoth water well at depth of
$50 feet
The supply of water is inexhaustible.
A large centrifugal pump, capable of
lifting 5000 gallons per minute, was
installed and failed to affect the level
of the water in the well in the least.
A jug Of the water was sent up to
San Francisco for analysis. and al
though showing some mineral was
entirely free from sulphur and SALT as
in the case with the majority of the
water found in the wells OF this sec
ton.
The people financing the company
are contemplating the installation of
large distilljng plant and piping the
water into both Taft and Maricopa for
domestic purposes II is stated that a
distilling plant capable of handling SO
cost not TO exceed. $4,000 If this is
true the well would certainly prove a
mint for its owners.

5t5 Prove Superiority Of Oil For Fuel in The Ncvv
BIG OIL CONTRACT
MADE AT 50 CENTS
Phoenix Will Purchase zS Grav-
ify Fuel Output of the Pa
cific States Company

/. One of the most important events OF
the week bearing upon the oil indus.
try was the arrangement of a con-
tract between the Phoenix and the
Pacific States company by which the
former will purchase the output of the
latter at the rate of so cents d bar
rel. This marks a clear advance in
the price of this grade of fuel The
oil of the Pacific States company is 2S
gravity and is we'll adapted for refin-
ing purposes
This contract assumes special i'm
portance. as it has come at time
when the price of the. product at the
well is one of the most serious ques-
tions confronting the industry It
means that all companies with a high
quality oil may be assured of a ready
market at price that promises. inn
mense profits. The Phoenix Is a re-
fining company.
BUYING HIGH GRAVITY -
The Standard oil company has for
several years been purchasing high
gravity oil at prices ranging from 80
ito 65 cents. In the very early part of
the year it made, a contract with a
small company in the Santa: Maria
field at so cents. shortly after came
the opening up of the Maricopa Midway
field with it's tremendous flow. The
Standard waited in the belief or hopa
that there. would be such a heavy out
put of the lighter oil that the price
would naturally decline. With its vast
yield the Midway gave early promise of
bringing a big boom to the. refining
business. Much of the oil came in at
% and "a gravity. However, as the
flow continued 1t was. found that the
gravity only here and there was sus-
tanned above the "a mark. There has
been very inconsidefable amouns
better than "a in Midway.
"A big percentage of the. output Of the
west Santa Maria field ranges from "a
to 80 gravity, and the Standard has
been handling il under old contracts at
so and so cents. The Ventura oil has
brought better prices but there has
not been cough of it..
PLENTY OF HIGH GRADE
Now, however, the. rehners have
turned to those portions of Coalinga
that furnish the high quality fuel The
Pacific States is only one among the
companies that can supply 20 gravity
ell. Some of it's neighbors in section
6 have the same quality oil, and. no
doubt. where previous contracts do not
forbid, will reap the benefits of the
higher price.
1t has been found thar for the best
results in refining an oil % gravity or
better is necessary. Naturally, the
lighter the quality the more profitable.
for refining, The Refners' and Pro-
ducers' plant at Oilport, for. instance,
will handle nothing below % gravity.

OIL DIVIDENDS ARE
RECORD BREAKERS
July Establishes New High
Water Mark Distribution, Be-
ing Sum Of $780, ,O4l.6S

The record for monthly disbursements
of oil dividends has been broken once
more. The month of July has estab-
lished new high water notch for
some time to- come. The total was
swelled by the 100000 paid out by the
Imperial company as result of the
sale of the property. The full sum of
the July distribution is S1,509, ,041.6S.
This includes only the listed companies
and does not take into account the
foreign corporations in the petroleum
business in California, a number of
close companies, nor the California
earnings of the Standard oil COM
pany.
The disbursements for the first
seven months of the year were $6,S3S,-
535. 1t is assured that the years total
will be we'll in excess of $4,000, 900.
The dividend roll from the beginning
of the industry to date is $33,614,-
974.66.
1t is estimated that the actual dis
bursements of producing companies in
the state, based upon the sale of fuel
oil for the month, Were in excess of
81 100000 1t is of interest to note
that for the same time the production
was about 100000 barrels of oil, val
ued at current prices at approximately
$500 900.
It is clear that the dividends will
eventually assume proportions far
greater than their present size The
marketing companies, for instance,
have not begun to distribute any con-
siderable portion of their earnings
The Union has been gaining daily in
strength. The Associated, with a
monthly net earning capacity of prac-
tically 100000, has been converting
its yearly balance into improvements,
such as pipe lines, tank steamers and
the like. The time is not far off, how
ever, when the big marketers will
swell the dividend roll.
