Year Was Noteworthy.
The nineteenth year OF the history
OF the oklahoma oil field was I'm
several respects especially note
worthy. continues tho Journals re-
view. excerpts from the dope" fol
low In part. In the first place the
market value of tho new production
obtained IN the yonr 1920 was far
greatcr than In any other year. In
thc second tho number of complct. d.
ed wells was greater than In any
other year. excepting 1918 The
Volume Of initial production was cX-
recded by only two years. 1874 and
1eli. when the worlds greatest oil
pool CuAhing. was NJ its height. The
average first day production per we'll
WAS exceeded only In the ycnrs 1919
land 1915. Important pools were
opened In the course of the year in
several counties OF the state, and
ioth"r pools opened In 1913 were de-
vclopcd Ia their highest point II
Nvas bountiful year for the oil men
OF this state, and the only drawback
game toward the closing days OF the
year, when generally unsettled busi-
ness conditions throughout tho coun-
AIRY began To show their effects in
fhc petroleum industry In the form
cf n possible ovcr-produCtion caused
by a slurgishness In the market for
Refined products and a consequent
lcurtailment OF crude oil purchases
In the state.
In 1901 less than n dozen wells
were completed In Indian territory.
which is now part OF the state of
oklahoma or thcS. five were
drilled near Bartlcsvillc, Washington
county, A small producing well, n
dry hole and a gas well were com
plcted near Tulsa: shallow wen
found oil near Red Fork, Greek
county, and dry holes were drilled
in the Nowata district, Nowata
county. and near Pawnec. Pawnee
county.

and 40 more gas wells. In no other
