Can't Store Oil; Refineries

Oil Is Stunning Fast.

Wichita Falls, Texas. July I2.-Be-
cause operators know that to drill
wells in now means a great waste OF
production. due to the shortage Of
suitable pipe line connections. stor-
age tanks and tank cars. more than
50 wells in the Waggoner pool have
been brought 10 a standstiu just as
the drills struck the top Of the pay
sand. There is always more oil being
produced than can be run to refiner-
les, and the owners Of other wells are
realizing that completion at the pres
ent time means that their production
would have TO be stored in earthen
tanks. The earthen tanks have proven
very unsatisfactory. causing much
waste. especially during the rainy
season.
One refinery is making plans to
erect a. 100000 barrel tank at Burk-
burnett This company has refused to
sign a contract at cut rates. but il is
not expected TO fill its tanks with
S2-25 oil It has no intention OF fore
ing the market down, but is prepar-
ing for the inevitable.
A slack in the export demand for
petroleum products will also tend to
draw the price of crude oil down The
general petroleum market is now get
ting into such shape that lowering OF
prices Of crude oil is advisable.
There has been a drop in the large
prices Of leases in the Burkburnett
field. which is believed caused by
shortage of storing facilities and pipe
line connections A tract which was
offered for $40. 900 one day dropped to
$4,000 by the next morning.
