tofore there has been little, if any.
of this oil refined in Wyoming, but
if the Midwest is preparing to re-
fine it at Greybull it is altogether
likely that similar work will be
done at other refineries in the
state at a moi distant date.
Back crude oil, with its asphalt
base, has long been regarded as
of far less value than the light oil
with a ~paraffin base, with the re-
suit that Wyoming fields in which
black crude is found, have not been
developed. Recent improvements in
refining methods, principally crack
ing processes, however, have so
increased the value of the oil that
there is now little ~differential in
the respective prices of light and
black oils.
In anticipation of its black oil re-
filming at Greybull the Midwest has
recently bought the 800 acre lease
of the Carter Oil company in the
Maverick Springs field. If the plan
works out satisfactorily it will mean
extensive new drilling and refining
for Wyoming.
