NEW DRILLING RECORD
IN STATES OIL FIELDS
As a Result of the Increased
Prices of Various Grades
of Petroleum.

WASHINGTON, ID. &C., Jan. c.
Decreased production of petroleum
has caused increased prices for it
and the increased prices have stimu-
lated drilling until the record for
new wells has been reached in what
are termed the Appalachian fields.
These statements are made an am
pliiled in a publication of the Geo
logical Survey issued today. Pro-
duction in the eastern states gener-
ally declined, although West Vir.
ginia showed a substantial increase
and became the fourth state in the
volume of petroleum produced in the
year 1912.
The production in West Virginia
for 1912 is estimated at IL, 500, OOO
barrels, compared with a total of
9,795,4 64 barrels in 1911. Califor,
MIA, which leads in production, in
creased its output during the year,
but Oklahoma and Illinois decreased
their production and Louisiana,
which eceeded West Virginia in pro-
ductica in 1911, fell below that
state in 1912. The total value of
oil produced in 1912 is estimated at
$4,000, 1000, compared with $134,-
1882 for 1911.
In the Appalachian fields the
largest number of wells drilled In
any one month in 1911 was 800. In
1912 ifrom April ca there was not a
month when the number of wells
drilled not exceed 800, while $50
were drilled in September.
The worlds consumption of oil is
estimated at million barrels a day
with the United States furnishing
more than all other countries.
