Where Big Production Comes
From

OKLAHOMA'S OIL PRODUCTION,
to meet the needs of the war, must be
increased from one, or all, of three
sources-drilling out producing prop
critics, extending existing pools or the
discovery of new pools in now partially
or wholly undeveloped areas. A large
part of this new production will come
from now producing fields by the bring
ing in of new wells; probably much more
will come from the extension of existing
pools, and much new production from
wholly or partly undeveloped fields.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
now being expended on leases and test
wells in wholly wildcat territory but
reports of Oklahoma operations show
that the greatest activity is still in the
states older fields. The conservative
operators and the careful investors are
placing their money in fields already pro-
ducing-in those areas where the sinking
of drills means almost certain production
and sure profits.
