The Cost of
a Hole i'm
the Ground

COMMENTING upon the rise in the price
of gasoline, who is unfamiliar
with petroleum production writes:
"The Lord, who put the oil in the
EARTH charges more for it than he
ever did. 1t comes for nothing out
OF the ground when you dig hole"
This is true, if it comes out of the ground
without help. The greatly increased cost
lies in digging the hole casing it, caring for
the oil when it comes out, and Transporting
and handling it on its way to the refinery.
Petroleum Age in it's September issue says:
The cost of drilling and equipping we'll
at the present scale of prices for material
and labor runssfrom Five Thousand Dollars
tor shallow sand pumper to Seventy-fve
Thousand Dollars for the deep wells. A
general average covering the entire country
would run about Twenty Thousand Dollars
per we'll"
One item which is often overlooked is the cost of drill
ling wells which fail to produce oil 1t is estimated

shortage of casing, difficulties transportation and
