Export Activities at NeD
Orleans Continue Brisk

While there was some Indication
the first week OF April that the ex-
port shipments from the Mid.Conti-
ncnt field would be greatly cur
tailed, there now seems TO be no
slackenlng In the steady movement
Of gasoline to New Orleans Some
kerosene Is also going ont and while
the amount Is not large, even one
export cargo helps some.
Shipments during the first two
weeks OF April from Oklahoma.
Texas and Louisiana were supple
mented by shipments from Kansas
refiners and the reflners around
FL Dorado, Ark, also contributed
n share. The export stations hand
ling material are all well equipped
with unloading trackage and little
delay is being experienced in hand
ling cars. The railroads are also
contributing help and one recent
shipment was handled from an
Oklahoma refinery to the unloading
rack at New Orleans In five days,
almost fast mail time from Tulsa.
Imports OF Mexican crude con-
tinue heavy as shown by the gulf
coast reports, New orleans and Mis-
sisslppi river refineries receiving n
total OF 100000 barrels for the
week ending April 10. the largest
quantity Of this oil was delivered TO
the Standard oil company at Baton
Rouge.
The Standard shipped five cargoes
of gasoline and kerosene to foreign
ports, principally in France. The
bulk OF the gasoline shipped was
manufactured at Casper, Wyo., and
shipped in tank cars TO Baton
Rouge for lifting by tankers.
The Union Petroleum company
continues to receive shipments OF
gasoline from Mid-Continent refin-
cries and made one tanker ship
ment during the past week, loading
the tanker Birkenhead for South
ampton, England. The inbound
movement to this company's station
while not so heavy as during March
continues brisk and several addi-
tional vessels are due for loading.
The movement into the Carson
plant continues heavy and IL is re-
ported that shipments will continue
to increase In volume. Both gaso-
line and kerosene are being cased
for export shipment and the bulk
loading facilities will again be used
in the near future. Refiners who
visited this station during the re-
finers convention gained the knowl-
edge that they will now be able TO
compete with the Standard COM
panies In shipping cased and bar
relied oils. the equipment OF this
plant being the finest In the country,
AT the present time the facilities
allow the shipping OF 100000 GAL
Ions Of cased gasoline daily. the cans
and cases being manufactured at

said in part:
THE multiplication during the

hundreds OF associations in these
activities means a cropping for some
vital necessity in our whole system.
The benevolent results to the COM

OF our constant national problems is
how TO obtain these benevolent re-
suits OF such cooperation without
creating domlnations OF groups that
would stlfle equality OF opportunity;
10 obtain them without loss of indi-
vldual initiative; to OBTAIN them and
still maintain that competition

Much oil Left In Old Wells,

WAsffiNGTON, April i7.--Grcat
| Quantities of oil. perhaps na much
ne 60 or 80 per cent Of the original
| reservoirs. are left underground In
the United states when the wells
nro abandoned because no means
have bocn determined whereby IL II
possible 20 recover more than "a
small percentage OF the oil. accord b
iug 10 a, w. Ambrose, chief potro-
loum technuloglst Of the Bureau Of
Mines. This failure to effect a
greater recovery OF the underground
oil, said Ambrose, IL due 10 the ex-
haustiOn OF the subterranean gas
flow.
THE manner in which gas serves
ns an cNpulSlvc medium was re-.
Ccntly shown by an experiment nt
tho petroleum experiment station
or tho Bureau Of Mines" Ambrose
nssortcd. "a stoed contalner about
three foot long and three inches I'm
diameter was filled with sand which
was then thoroughly saturated with
OIL Tho amount ~ oil introduced
was known by weight and measure
ment After tho sand had boeu
saturated. gas was forced into the
conthiuer under n pressure or 200
pounds 10 the square inch. Then
a. valve NJ one end was opened ana
the gas allowed To escape, bringing
with n perhaps 18 per cont OF the
OIL put into the COntaincr.
In other experiments" Ambrose
continued, the amount OF oil re-
covered varies from is TO rs pcr
cont, depending on tho pressure and
other conditions. After the gas had
forced out 1s per cent OF the oil.
thc contalner was held in a vertical
position for the purpose of determin-
Ing how much oil would drain out,
but tho capillary forco exerted on the
oil was 80 great that only n neRli-
glhle quantity OF oil drained from tho
sand
This simple experiment empha-
sized tho fact that gas IL the pre-
dominant factor In moving oil to tho
wen and that when the gas is gone
the production Is gone" declared
Ambrose. In any event, Il is un-
questionable that large quantities NJ
oil are left underground, and,
whether the figure II 60 per cent or
30 per cent. II Ia too large. In GER
tain parts OF the Appa lachian fields
the practice of forcing air or gas
Into central well, from where Il
goes 20 adjoining wells and carries
the oil with II. has caused wells to
produce as much oil as they had up
to the point when considered ready
for abandonment.
There arc undoubtedly other
means OF etfoctlng n greater recov-
ery," Ambrose concluded, "and these
queHuons should be studied and ap.
piled before the wells are aban-
doned."
