NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 2O.-An

The Monroe gas area. 1t is stated.
has probably the greatest potential
capacity OF any discovered gas field
SiX;y-fivc wells have a total omen
flow capacity OF over $4,000. 900
cubic feet daily. or an average per
well of 100000 cubic ccct. The pro-
ductivc horizons have Il thicknctss OF
from fifteen 10 ninty-fivc feet, the
average thickness being at least
fifty feet. Although over 10000
o0o.0 cubic feet Of gas has been re-
moved since the discovery well was
drilled into the gas rock in 1916. the
engineers state that the original
rock pressure OF 1850 pounds per
square inch has shown no apprecia-
able decline.
Volume Declared Unlimited.
The report estimates that the to-
tai amount of gas remaining In tho
reservoir Is roundiy Also COO 600. 900
cubic feet, or thirty-two cubic milea
calculated at ciyht-ouncc pressure
above atmosphere. with Indications
that the volume IL much greater
because the limits OF the field had
not been finally determined at the
time the investigation was concluded.
AS To the proportion OF gas re-
naming in the reservoir that may
be recoverable for domestic and in
dustrial use. the engineers state that
with competent engineering and
other practices in the care and de-
vclopmcnt OF the field. fully 80 per
cent. or 2.3T5, 00o. 10000 cubic feet
should bc made available. AN amount
equivalent To roundly 80 per cent OF
the total volume Of natural gas pro-
duced and marketed from twenty
different states In the United States,
for the thirtcen-ycar period. 1906 to
1918 inclusive. as shown by records
OF the United States Geological
Survey.
The report shows that New Or
leans. Houston. Dallas. Fort Worth,
and Memphis. are In practically equal
radial distance from the Monroe
field. and drawing on the indicated
recoverable gas at the rate of 200
100000 feet daily. the supply would
last over thirty-two years.
