S0HE Principles WHICH
G0VERMPRo cTicN
OF Oft WELLS

The United States bureau Of mines
announces the publication OF Bulletin
1884,. Some principles governing the
production OF on wells" by Carl II.
Beal. formerly petroleum technolokist
OF the bureau. and T. o. Lewis. former
chief petroleum technologosit.
The bulletin discusses some OF the
fundamental factors governing OIL
production, taking up first the condi-
tons affecting the amount OF oil In
the oil sand, then those factors that
control the rate OF production of oil
wells. and finally discussing several
related problems, most Of which deal
particularly with the effect OF the
production OF one well on that of an.
other.
The subjects covered include poros-
tiles Of oil sands, ultimate production
Of recoverable oil, the percentage Uf
oil recoverable, methods. the effect
OF geologic structure and rock pres
sure and depth on ultimate produc-
tionl well spacing, water conditions,
factors governing the decline Of oil
wells, the policy of drilling to main
tain production, consideration on
flush" and Settled" production, etc.
A knowledge of the length of time a
well viii produce Oil is OF Importance
to the oil operator, says the Bulletin.
Not only does such knowledge make 1t
possible to charge off on a sounder
basis the depreciation on capital in
vested in physical property, but it also
provides information for making de-
pletion deductions on account of the
progressive exhaustion of the oil re-
sources, and gives the operator a
working basis for the proper manage
ment Of his property.
The life of an oil well may range
from few months of very high or
| very 10 reproduction to many years.
In some OF the Appalachian fields the
average daily production amounts to
only few gallons and the we'll is
pumped not oftener than once a
week. In the gulf coast field the
lives of Oil wells associated with the
salt domes are, as a general rule, very
short. The average salt dome well has
a productive life OF not to exceed two
and one-half or three years.
Small holdings in an Oil field are
potent factor in shortening the lives
of the wells, for the reason that line
drilling is forced and operations are
not carried on in the most workman
like manner, thereby permitting incur
sions of water and the waste of gas
pressure.
The Healdton, Oklahoma, wells, as
! rule, were rather prolific and all
had fairly high initial production. The
great fault in this field, however, was
the close spacing, owing to small hold
ings, which caused a very rapid re-
duction of gas pressure.
Probably the most important fac
tors that tend to cut off or to prolong
the life of an old well is the net value
of the Oil to the producer. When the

daily. but on account of the low oper-
ating cost the wells are being pump
ed to much smaller amounts. AS n
general rule the wells in the fields OF
north Texas and Louisiana. except
Ranger district, will produce for fif-
teen or twenty years before they
reach one barrel daily. In Illinois
and in southern Ohio the average life
is ten to fifteen years. In California
the productive horizons are thick and
the gas pressure is unusually high, so
that the wells producing under these
conditions probably will not reach the
minimum production for twenty or
twenty-five years.
