line about 30 miles south ut Ranger
running east and west and taking
In the Louisiana field which includes
the Bull Bayou. the Caddo and Pine
Island field and In Arknushs also
and we include In that all uf the
refinerlcs and In order to urrnv NJ
n balance we included the four re
fineries located at Fast ST. Louis
which are supplied with crude OIL
from the midcontiu"nt field, namely,
Oklahoma, so II the rcfincrios, Tor
illustration, were running 2"O,ohO
barrels per day. II We could get the
records which we did from time To
time, Il would show that the pip"
lines were carrying 10000 barrels
of crude out OF this field which !
have Just defined and then there wns
so much going out In tank cars
which varies from $1,000 10 GOOOV
barrels day, the difference between
the two would be what was going
Into storage or coming out or ator-
age. MY figures. In the rough arc,
starting I'm May or June, 1919, taking
the crude oil produced in this tl"ld
was about $4,000 barrels per day
At that time the refinurics were run
ming in the ncighhOrhoud OF 22b, 900
barrels per day and the tank car
shipments and the pipe limo ship
mcnts they showed includes from 40
600 to 30. 900 barrels of crude oil he
ing taken out of storage each day
TO supply the requirements uf TINS
field working from that time mp the
production Of course the fpct that
we were taking $4,000 barrels uf oil
out Of the storage each day, they
began to hc exercised, and from
that time the production until DO
cembcr. 1920, when the production
for this Same field was $4,000 bar
rels per day,
The rctlucrios run Increased
from 2bO,O0O up to 100000 barrels
per day, That occurred about the
18th of August last year, and lagt
year we had In the nciEhhorhood or
