FLOW OF CALIFORNIA
OIL GUSHER INCREASES

san Francisco.-After gushing for
more than two years the past year
at a steady, 1500-barrel clip, No.
well of the Palmer Oil company, in
the Santa Maria fields, has suddenly
begun to spout at a greatly increased
rate and for several days has been
producing 1000 barrels a day.
No 2 well of the Palmer company,
which came in as n gusher a couple
Of weeks ago, sanded up last week.
-hut has been cleaned out and is now
under control. being permitted to flow
in such quantities as can be handled
by the Union and Associated pipe
lines.
News of the bringing in of anoth-
er big gusher is momentarily expect
ed from the Santa Maria fields, where
the New Pennsylvania Oil company
has Just finished well at 1855 feet.
Fearing that the well will gush and
get beyond control before storage ia
cilities can be provided. water is be-
ing pumped into the well, but despite
the $500 foot column OF water the
gas pressure is so great that oil is
being forced over the casing head at
the rate of about 200 barrels a day.
When the water pressure is removed
IL is expected that the well will start
to gush at n terrific rate. The bring
ing in Of this we'll is a very important
development in the Santa Maria fields
as it proves the productiveness Of
large additional area.
The Union Oil company has just
completed the building of a reservoir
with a capacity of $2500,000 barrels
and has begun the construction Of an
earthern reservoir. with a capacity
Of 100000 barrels, siN miles from
the Lakeview gusher. This reservoir
is to be built in a canyon and will
be fortified against the inflow of the
winter rains and excessive evapora-
tion.
