LIMIT IS ORDERED
ON OIL PRODUCTION
Oklahoma Corporation Com
mission Takes Action in
Greater Seminole Field.
BY the A. sOciated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY. June 22.-With
4 daily output of nearly half million
barrels of oil--sliGhtly less than one
fifth of the national tOtal-threateninS
an already weakened crude market,
operators in the comparatively new
greater Seminole field today faced an
ultimatum from the State corporation
commission to cease competitions In
the larger pools.
The commission interviewed in the
curtailment program, started by lead
ing operators at q meeting in New
York last Spring in an effort to bolster
crude prices, when it issued a tenn
porary restraining order last night
prohibiting drilling in or shooting
wells in certain sections of the field.
The commission is empowered to act
in cases involving petroleum conserVa-
ton. The order was made returnable
August 5, when operators will be in
Vited to attend hearing in an effort
to break the deadlock on development
of the Seminole field.
Agreed to Limit.
At the New York meeting, Nav IS
last, representatives of 20 Seminole
producers agreed to limit production
until 10 or more of the operators
withdrew from the agreement. Ray NJ.
Collins was appointed as umpire to
supervise the curtailment project.
Collins recommended completion of
the $50 wells then being drilled, but
advocated limitation of production on
scale intended to balance the out
put from the holdings of the various
companies. A continued drilling by
numerous operators, including several
not included in the curtailment agree
ment, resulted in increased production,
and within a month the daily output
approached 100000 barrels day. The
average price of oil was S1.3S a barrel,
as compared to about $27O a barrel
October last, shortly after extensive
development started.
Appeal for Restriction.
Faced with daily flow from the
Seminole area of more than $4,000
barrels from approximately $50 wells.
Collins yesterday appealed to the cor
poration commission to exercise its
authority. He declared that unless
some action was taken further re-
auctions of from 25 to so cents a bar
rel would result. Prices yesterday
ranged from $132 to SLIGO a barrel.
While Collins proposed a detailed
plan of curtailment, including limiting
the flow of wells on all tracts to 100
barrels day after the key we'll had
been drilled in, the commission took
no action along these lines. 1t was in
dictated these details would be discuss
ed August 5.
While the restra lining order was or
dered in effect today. operators gener-
ally withheld comment.
