The excessive production of sand

much trouble to the operators and has
caused them to give considerable at

The excessive production OF water
in some areas has curtaiied or topped
the production of oil and gas. Several
fact=-s have contributed to a more
rapid Increase in water production
than was necessary. One object of
this report is to indicate the harmful
effect OF water and to discuss the most
effective methods Of excluding the
water and operating the properties.
The present report includes a his
