CARTER ENLARGES RESEARCH
LABORATORY AT TULSA

Evidencing the increasing impor-
tance of broadened research to the
oil industry, The Carter Oil Com
pany today announced plans for the
construction of two additions to its
present laboratory in Tulsa.
The new additions, to cost an es-
timated $225,000 will more than
double the size of the present re-
search center, expanding the lab-
oratory from 1900 to $4,000 square
feet of floor space Work NAV be
completed and the new quarters oc-
cupied by late summer of 1947.
Increased research activity makes
the enlargement necessary as pres
ent quarters already are crowded
the announcement stated. The re-
search staff of Carter is being ex-
panded now.
Much of the geophysical and pro-
ductiOn research work for the Stan
dard Oil Company of New JERSEY
and its affiliates and associated com
panies is done in the Tulsa research
center. Scientific instruments de-
veloped in this laboratory now are
being used in Venezuela, Ecuador.
The Western news., 1946-12-05

Peru and Canada, as we'll as in
many parts of the United States.
Carter has operated a research
laboratory for more than ten years.
and has occupied its present modern
building since 1910. Seismograph
instruments and intricate equip
ment for oil explorations have
flowed to many parts of the world
from the Tulsa science center.
The laboratory gained national at
tention last year when the United
States Navy revealed that members
of Carriers research staff did i'm
portant work in developing some
of the safety devices used in the
VT or proximity fuse, considered
one of the more important World
War II military accomplishments.
