ACCURATE TESTS ARE MADE TO
FIND OIL

That the old-time guess again"
methods employed by oil companies in
their search for pools have been dis
carded in favor OF up-to-date scien-
tific processes has been ascertained
by Malvin G. Hoffman, State Colleg
instructor in petrology.
Reliable companies employ a whole
department for the study of subsurface
geology" says Mr.. Hoffman. 1.-TWO
classes of work are being carried on at
the present time, highly powerful mi
croscopes being used throughout. The
Photographer and the micropaleontol-
egists have charge of this valuable re-
search. The former studies the
characteristics of the small particles OF
rock which have been ground up, and
the content of the heavy minerals in
each sample. These studies give him
the key to the correlation of the seriec
OF beds over a large area. The mi !.
cropaleontologist bases his correlations
on the minute fossil forms that are
found with the rock cuttings"
With geological survey so complete
the present-day location of wild cat
well does not rest with the finding of
surface fold in the field. Careful re-
checking by the core drill and COM
prehensive study by experts make
discoveries authentic and reliable.
