Operations in the
Wildcat Jim Field

Preparations are under way for re-
sumption Of operations on the Yore et
al test on the Pierce farm, in the
northeast of the northeast of the south
west quarter of section 1S2s-2w, one
half of a mile south of the Coline pro
Guction in the Wildcat Jim district. To-
tai depth of the hole at the present
time is 1860 feet in pink shale. \ sand
showing oil was drilled through at
l646-52 feet. Effort will be made TO
find the 2400-foot sand.
The Coline Oil company has pulled
casing and abandoned its No. 1 on the
Higgins farm, in the southeast of the
southwest of the southwest quarter of
section 6.2s.2w, one half of a mile
north of production. Total depth of
the hole is reported as at approximate
ly 5000 feet in sandy shale. The we'll
was drilled with the rotary tools 10
around 2400 feet where the casing was
cemented and the rig standardized. The
2400-foot sand was not found. Good
showings of oil wered rilled through in
sands at 1900 and 2100 feet, but moth
ing was encountered below those
depths

Pipe Lines Carry
Greater Part Oil

Although tank ears and tank steam
ships. or tankers. as they are generally
called. are extensively used in the trans
portation of crude petroleum, by far
the greater part of the crude oil pro-
duced in this country is shipped TO re-
filming and marketing centers by means
of pipe lines. The rail and water trans
portation of oil is really supplementary
to the pipeline system.
AS the main pipelines are operated in
interstate commerce, they are regarded
under the control of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The commits
sion, in a report just issued, has for
the first time made public the extent
of the system.
The report shows that in 1921 there
we're 5000 miles of pipeline operated
IN interstate commerce by thirty-three
separate companies. The total invest
ment in the system is given in the
report as s652, 2,13S,s94.
There have been extensive additions
to the system during the present year
| and 1t is expected that the 1922 report
will show more than $4,000 miles of in
terstate line.
In addition to the main trunk lines
which are usually of S-inch steel pipe
and carry the oil from the producing
! fields TO terminals located on the At
lantic and Gulf coasts and at the large
distributing centers inland, there are
thousands of miles of smaller, so-callec
gathering lines.
It is through these lines. which are
from TO inches in diameter, thai
| the oil is collected from the wells ant
gathered in great storage tanks fol
shipment to distant points.
The oil is forced through the pipes
by means of pumps. In the EASTER
and Mid.western regions, the pumpint
stations are about So miles apart. II
California, however, because of thu
| greater Viscosity of the oil. the pump
| ing stations are only about 12 miles
apart and it is necessary to heat tn,
| heavy oil in order to facilitate IL
| movement.

Dill Conditions
Change Rapidly

The uncertainties and rapidly chang
ing conditions of the oil industry are
N no way better illustrated, according
10 the American Petroleum Institute,
than by the relative positions of gaso-
line and kerosene.
With the annual consumption of gas.
oline proceeding at the rate of more
than 100000 600 barrels. it is difficult
10 realize that this product was once
u drug ON the market. Before the ad-
vent of the automobile, the heavy de
mand for kerosene necessitated an out
put Of gasoline greater than the mar
ket could absorb. Yet the total produc-
ton of gasoline in 1906 was only about
5000 900 barrels.
Now conditions are reversed. Case.
line is the chief commercial product OF
petroleum and the production thus far
this year amounts 10 93,9S3, 900 barrels,
while only 341l5,O00 barrels of Kerosene
have been produced.
