Tho oil ana gas Industry has boen
one Of the foremost factors IN tho
rapid development Of this state. II
IN estimated that salos OF oil and
gas for tho past year amounted TO
over s3O,OOO.0OO.
II Is estimated that there hayo
been over 10000 wells drilled in Ok
lahoma, About ono In every seven
have been either dry or abandoned,
leaving about 1880 produ'ins
VOLS In operation During the past
year 4,44b wells were drilled, Of this
number 3,fi6 were oil wells, 964
were gas wells ana 90 were dry
holes
The daily production IN Oluuhomg
Is estimated AZ 10000 barrels.
