GULF COAST CRUDES
ADVANCED, MUCH TO
JOY OF OPERATORS
Higher Prices Posted by
Texas Company Met by
Other Buyers.

Houston. Tex, Feb. 1O-Oil pro.
ducers of the gulf coast were made
happy MS could be at the close of this
week by 25-ccnt raise in the posted
price of their crude oil.
The raise could not have come at I
more opportune time. The Texas gull
coast has just emerged from the throel
of blizzard which had slowed dow
field work and cut the output of tn,
old wells. Field work had been slump
ing for some weeks, as the producers
saw CrudeS in other sections Of til,
United States being advanced with Their
own oil clinging like . drowning sailor
TO raft to the old price Of Sl.2j.
Joy reigns supreme now, since the
Texas Company Thursday morning an,
nOunCed the increase. The raise was
met by the Humble Pipe Line Company
and the Gulf Pine Company. At Pierce
Junction grade Il oil is now S1.0J,
while all of the Blue Ridge production
is posted at S1.0j The rest OF the
production in the Texas and Louisiana
gulf coast fields is posted at $40.
Stocks of crude had been increasing
in the gulf coast during the month, but
most of the oil going into storage was
the off grades at Blue Ridge. Pierce
Junction and Hull. The regular Gulf
Coast crude. high in lube content, had
always found n ready market, often at
a small premium. it is expected the
small premium will continue when in
dependent refiners enter the market.
Oil at Big Creek.
The news from the Gulf Production
COmpany's No. 3 Wheat ut Big CrePE,
in Fort Bend county. is better this
week. This well found the pay at $3.50
feet and the flow was estimated TO
be around 100 barrels n day by heads
of 20 gravity oil. Usually oil of this
gravity in the gulf coast is Classed as
second class. since it does not usually
contain much lube content. But the
crude from the new Gulf we'll is diff
fercnt. 1t is high in lube content. not
withstGnding its high gravity. This
is encouraging and will cause more
drilling in this section. The field is
now credited with three producers. al
though the daily average production is
not large.
During the past week the daily aver
age production OF crude oil in the Tex
as Gulf Coast fields was 102 400 bar
rcls against 104.070 barrels the previ.
GUS wCch according to figures on
piled by The Oil Weekly. 1t is feared
that the following week will show n
further decline because of the bad
weather, freeze and almost impossible
roads.
Other compilations Of the week were
in the usual order. Five holes were
abandoned and eight small producers
were reported Several old wells were
worked over.
