Is the Oil Industry
To Be "AtOmized?"

All the poentialities of atomic bomb inherent
in some recent developments in Washington far the
oil industry is concerned.
Most oil know that congress- continued for three
years the administrations authority negotiate
cproca trade agreements Or in plain English to slash the
import duties on foreign crude OIL among other things
What most oil men do not fully realize however is
that congress also wrote into the act permission for the
state department further reduce tariffs by so percent
the rate that in effect at the beginning of 1915 Thus
the secretary of state has power than any of his
predecessors.
The normal duty imports of foreign oil q cents
barrel In 1882 agreement with Venezuela cut the rate
to 1912 cents barrel-and this rate automatically
applied to imports from all other favored nation
tries Now, Secretary Byrnes he fit again slash
this tariff by so percent down to 5M cents barrel
Until 943 the amount of crude that could be imported
limited to percent of domestic refinery during
preceding year. Today there is no such quota.
So, Byrnes wishes he may cut the tariff to 54 cents
barrel and allow unlimited amounts of foreign crude to
enter this country The 5M cents barrel is ridiculous
figure, and so is the 1917 cents in effect
The road is wide open tremendous imports of peon-
produced foreign crude OIL with the blessing of congress-
and with the tariff low to yield little in to
the nation and be absolutely barrier to unrestricted
Importation.
If you oil producer interested in this sit
uaton with its ruinous implications it is suggested you
clip this ad and send to your congressman with suitable
comment

expected daily as a result of drilling
in progress with 20 or more modern
rotary drilling rigs. Total produc-
ton at present depends upon the
availability of oil trucks which de-
liver the oil to the oil pipeline at
Craig, Colo. The Utah Oil Refining
Co. is preparing to build 10-inch
line from Rangely to the main line
at Wamsutter, Wyo.
Companies Listed
In addition to several small COM
panies and lessees, the following
companies are operating in the
Rangely field:
Associated Oil Co, California Co.
STANDARD of California;, California
Oil Groups "a. c. Mclaughlin ct
all, Equity Oil Co., Husky Rein
ing Co., Newton Oil Co., Phillips
Petroleum Co., Raven Oil Co., STAN
olind Oil & Gas Co., the Union Pa
cific Railroad Co., Utah Southern
Oil Co., and Wasatch-Idaho-Sh
less (Wasatch Oil Coz.
While new wells continue to
come in in the Rangely field, now
considered to be about 8 by miles
in area, some major companies
have been and are conducting geo.
logical, geophysical, gravity and
seismic surveys on the surface to
the northwest, reaching into Utah
to a point west of the asphaltic rim
to the west and northwest of Yer
nal. This work is conducted to iden-
tify key" formations where the
geology is covered up by surface
waste and sediments.
In addition, the General Petrol
cum Co. is prepared to drill about
20 miles south of Rangely, close to
the Utah line.

Long known for its production of
crude Pennsylvania type oil from
shallow depth. the Rangely district
has become an important producer
of paraffin-asphaltc base petroleum
during the past few month.
Shallow Wells Produce
At Rangely, the shallow oil OBJ
tanned at depths of from 700 to 900
feet below surface is not accom-
panied by gas pressure and the
wells have been pumped for years.
Most of the wells are "emptied"
each dav in short pumping periods
but fill up overnight and are ready
for pumping again each morning.
This refilling appears to be capil-
larry in nature.
Veterans in the district are of the
opinion that the shallow oil ascendS
through the calcite filled cracks in
the formation. One pioneer con-
tends that the calcite purifies the
shallow oil to its Pennsylvania
grade. Average production per shall
low we'll is about 30 barrels day
and at present the daily otput from
all the shallow wells is from $500 to
5000 barrels.
Tap Weber Sands
The Weber oil bearing sandstone
is encountered at a depth of about
$500 feet below surface in the
Rangely district 1t is 700 feet or
more in thickness extremely
thick oil sand After the initial flow
from this sand is put under control,
drilling continues for some 800 feet
in order to penetrate the deepest
practicable source of oil
Sensible regulations obtain in the
Rangely field Wells are drilled in
the center only of each 40 acre lease
or fee, and free flow of oil is avoided
by the practice of balancing gas
pressure to output in the effort to
maintain steady flow for the esti-
mated life of the field so as to avoid
having to pump the wells.
One specialist thinks the field is
good for 30 years. At this time dis
charge lines as small as quarter
inch are used in the producing
wells The producing wells deliver
from 300 to $50 barrels day.
Nine Wells Produce
a recent visit to the Rangely dis
trict disclosed the fact that nine
wells are producing oil, with others

Wyoming pipeline projects.
The board granted the Stanolind
Pipe Line company certificate of
