IMMENSE QUANTITY OF
PETROLEUM UNDERGROUND

Notwithstanding various proposals
to make motor fuel out of water by
the magic addition of cheap chemi-
Gals, the earnest search for crude oil
has not abated one whit. Whelev
there are indications of oil the pros
pector is busy and in fields where
actual development has taken place
many new wells are being put down.
Experts say that the production of
oil will certainly be increased. BY
how large an amount remains to be
seen.
The most remarkable story of i'm
mense underground storage of oil
comes from Tampico, MeXico-that
in that territory, at the present esti-
mate. there is enough crude oil to
afford a daily supply of 100000 bar
rels for a period of nearly forty years.
The following is from the Oil,
Paint and Drug Reporter;
"It is claimed by American geolo-
gists who have visited the different
oil producing fields in the Tampico
territory recently that it is now pos
sible to make a reliable estimate of
the underground oil contents of the
several localities where production Is
now in progress. Several Of the
larger companies have had surveys
of this kind made of their properties
and the figures which have been OBJ
tained as to the possible production of
the gulf coast region considered in
the aggregate to be so large as to
almost challenge belief. Among the
experts who have been employed in
this work is |. c. White, state geolo-
gist of West Virginia, who spent
some time going over the fields.
"All told, there are said to ap-
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-05-16

proximately 14.000,O00,000 barrels Of
oil in underground storage in the
areas that have already been proved
In arriving at these figures the geolo-
ferent wells, the possible length of
time they will continue production,
and the size of the proved fields. In
view of the fact that the producing
area of the gulf coast region of Mex
leo is being constantly widened, it is
entirely a matter of conjecture how
much larger the available output may
be than the estimates that are now
given Biologists say that it would
not surprise them if the underground
storage is several times 14,000,0 100000
barrels.
Even at the present estimate there
is enough crude oil in this part of
Mexico to afford daily supply of
ly forty years. No oil region has
ever been discovered in the world
that begins to compare with the one
here. The bringing in Of wells of al
most fabulous production is becoming
such a common practice as to pro-
woke little comment 1t would seem
almost impossible that 32S,000 bar
rels of oil could find its way to the
surface through a fourteen-inch hole
in the ground during period of
twenty four hours, but the well that
was bored in the Cerro Azul field
near here, a few weeks ago, was
shown to have that enormous out
put by actual measurement. 1t Is by
far the largest producing well ever
brought in in the world. Great diff
Guilty was experienced in Gaping the
well.
"While the oil that is found in the
different fields around Tampico Is all
of an asphaltic base and yields COM
paratively small quantities of gaso-
line, it is being refined and made TO
produce gasoline and various by-pro-
ducts on considerable scale. Be
sides the large refineries and topping
plans that are in operation here and
which use big quantities of native
crude OIL large shipments of the
crude product are being made to re-
tineries in Texas. Experiments are
being made constantly with the view
of discovering method of obtaining
larger percentage of gasoline from
the Mexican oil, and it is believed
that it will not be long until more
or less success is had along this line
and that the problem of obtaining a
practically unlimited supply of gaso-
line at cheap prices from this source
will have been solved"
