Natural Gasoline Industry
There are 10 gasoline extraction
plants in operation in Wyoming, and
this is but the beginning of this
phase OF the industry. In almost
every instance the residue gas is util-
lied for field, domestic and industrial
purposes.
The Midwest Refining Co. In 1917
constructed the first gasoline extrac-
ton plant in Wyoming, extracting
gasoline from casing head gas in the
Salt Creek field. Additions have beer
made until at the present time its
gas plants in Salt Creek have a ca
pacity to handle 10000, 900 Gu. IT. of
gas per day. The gasoline recovery
amounts to approximately 20, 900
gals. per annum
In 1918 the Ohio Cil Co. erected
a 5 unit compression plant in the
Grass Creek field with a capacity
sufficient to handle 100000 Gu. TT.
of casing head gas per day. The gas
oline recovered by this plant amounts
to some 5000 gals per day.
Its absorption plant in Salt Creek
has a capacity sufficient to handle
10, 1000, 900 u. IT. of gas daily, ap-
proximately 10000 gals. of gasoline
being recovered daily. The residue
gas is returned to the field lines for
camp and field purposes.
In 1922 the Producers & Refiners
constructed a gasoline absorption
plant in Casper, Wyo., having a ca
pacity to handle $4,000, 900 Gu. IT.
of gas per day. This plant extracts
the gasoline from the natural gas
from Wertz, Ferris and Mahoney
domes, the entire residue gas being
utilized by the Midwest and Stan
dard ~refineries for fuel. The gaso-
line recovery is understood to be in
excess of 100000 gallons per an
mum.
In 1928 the Producers G Refiners
Corporation constructed a gasoline
absorption process plant at Riverton,
Wyo., with capacity to handle 5000
600 Gu. 1T. of gas per day. This
plant extracts gasoline from the gas
produced from Sand Draw. The EN-
tire residue gas is used by domestic
and industrial consumers at River.
ton and Lander for fuel. The gaso.
line recovery Is understood to be in
excess Of 100, 900 gals. per annum.

line and for more than 3 years sup
piled the market with some $780,
100000 Gu. It. per annum. The do
nestle market increased enormously
with Casper's growth until at the
present time this company is supply
ing some 900 domestic and inuus-
trial consumers thru a As mile pipe
line from these fields and the
Boone Dome structure with a distrib-
ution system of some 62 miles from
mains. The present consumption
from these fields is approximately 2
billion cubic feet per mum
Other Gas Companies
In 1921 the Rocky Mountain Gas
Co. constructed a 12 mile pipeline
from the Byron field to Powell, Wy
oming, supplying about $4,000, 900
Gu. It. per annum to between 800
and 400 consumers thru an Smile
distributing system.
In 1929 1t constructed a 33-mile
pipeline from the Ohio Oil Co. wells
at Mahoney dome to Rawlins, Wyo.,
distributing thru some IL miles Of
gas mains to more than 1000 dome
site and small Industrial consumers.
The annual consumption by this mar
ket is approximately 500. 100000 Gu.
feet.
In 1921 the Producers & Refiners
Corporation and the Midwest Refin-
Ing Co. constructed a 90 mile pipe
line from Wertz and Mahoney domes
to Casper. the largest natural gas
pipeline in Wyoming. From the
Producers & Refiners wells in these
fields and Ferris field and from the
Ohio Oil Co. wells in Mahoney dome.
some 10000, 000 to $4,000, 900 Gu.
IT. per day are delivered to the Mid
west and Standard r%efineries in Cas-
per.
In 1921 the Producers & Refiners
Corporation constructed a 23 mile
pipline from its wells In the Sand
Draw structure to Riverton. The fol-
lowing year, 1922, it extended this
pipline to Lander, q distance Of %
miles.
In 1922 the Gallatin Gas Co. con-
structed a &C mile pipeline from the
Elk Basin field where the Ohio Oil
Co. had developed a large supply Of
gas, to Billings, Laurel, Fromberg
and Bridger. Mont. This company
converted the manufactured gas dis
tributing system of Billings into a ma
tural gas system and is supplying
these 4 towns and some 1000 do
nestle and industrial consumers with
approximately 1000, 10000 Gu. IT.

uting system.

Thermopolis where 1t distributes gas
secured from the Golden Eagle dome
to domestic and industrial consumers.
In 1923 the Midwest Refining Co.
constructed a As mile gas pipeline
from the Salt Creek field, Wyo., to
Casper where residue gas saved from
casing head gas in Salt Creek is util,
lied for fuel by the Midwest and
Standard refineries. The gas utiliz.
ed in Casper from this source
amounts to some $500, 600, 900 Gu.
It. per annum.
During the present year the Pro-
ducers & Refiners Corporation has
constructed a 20 mile pipeline from
its wells in Baxter Basin to Rock
Springs where it distributes gas to
domestic and industrial consumers
thru &c miles of distributing mains.
During 1924 1t has also construct
ed a 14-mile pipeline from the wells
Of the Hatfield Oil & Gas Co. on the
Eight Mile Lake structure to its re-
finery at Parco and to the town of
Parco. The distributing system is
several miles in length and the con-
sumption is approximately 100000
or 1000, 900 Gu. IT. per day.
These pipelines aggregate more
than ass miles in length and the dis
tributing systems more than 245, n
total of some 600 miles of gas mains
in Wyoming.
Available Gas Production
Wyoming natural gas is supplied
to IA cities a I'd towns in Wyoming
and 4 In Montana. These, together
with the refineries. field camps and
drilling wells constitute the present
fuel market for our natural gas.
No attempt has been made to pre-
sent in detail the present available
gas production in Wyoming or the
apparent probable supply for the flu
ture. While the present available
production Is more than sufficient for
Wyoming needs for many years to
come, a large proportion must neces-
sarily await the time when new in
dustries or increasing demands of the
residents and industries of Wyoming
justify the expenditures necessary for
transportation to market.
While the economic use of oil with
its varied constituents has been de-
veloped by the utilization of many
byproducts, the only progressive
steps toward economic and efficient
utilization of gas have been the ex-
traction of the gasoline content and
refinement of appliances for efficient
burning of gas for fuel.
Gasoline extraction is an important
phase of the industry. 1t permits the
utilization OF n commodity otherwise
practically wasted. Removal of gas
oline content slightly decreases the

sumption in the towns of Lowell, By
ron and Cowley. 1t has a distribut-
ing system of eight miles Of mains
and supplies some 500 domestic and
small industrial consumers. The
production from the Byron field util-
lied by this market approximates
soc, 900, 900 Gu. feet per year.
Gas for domestic, field and camp
purposes has been used in the Salt
Creek camp, now Midwest, and in
the Salt Creek field since 1913.
In 1917, the consumption in Wy
oming for all purposes, field use, well
drilling, domestic consumption and
industrial reached the billion cubic
foot mark. By 1918 this had in
creased to 6 billion, by 1920 to 10
billion, and by 1921 to Is billion.
Gas consumption in Wyoming is now
estimated to be in eXcess Of 80 bill
lion cubic feet per annum. The in
crease in 1920 and 1921 was due
principally to- the refinery. industrial
and domestic consumption at Casper.
