Oil Leases
By EDWARD NELSON 1)me
WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb 7—~ln
view of the public interest in certain
oil land losses by the Department of
the interior under former Secretary
of the Interior Fall. it is interesting.
to know something about the extent
of the oil wells and oil production
in the United States, especially in
the states of California and Wyo-
thing.
There are more than 260.000 pro-
ducing oil wells in the United Buss
located in 22 states. The three dead-
ing states are: Pennsylvania. 68.000
Oklahoma. 60.000: Ohio. 40.000;
West Virginia. 20,000: Illinois. 17.-
000; Klaus. 16.000.
An average of about 30 per cent
of the wells “go dry." I:- Wyoming
22 per cent Have done dry: in Okla.
home. 18.6 per cent; in California.
only 9 per cent.
There are many hazards of drlil~
lush—tho chance of striking oil. fell-
tools. cost of fishing for 10“ tools.
caving of the ground. failure of ca»-
ing. corrosion of easing due to acid
water. '
The annual production of petro-
leum in the United States is now
about 450,000,000 barrels. California
and Oklahoma lead with about 105..
000,000 barrels each. W'yomlng pro-
duces about'll.000,000 barrels. and
Texas about the same.
roughly divided into three geomph.
icai provinces. The first comprises
the group occupying both sides of
the San Joaquin Valley and known
as the Valley field; the second a
great number of small and separate
fields in the mountainous Santa
Barbara. and Vebturs. countries: and
third. those fields of Southern Cali-
tornic coastal points in Los Angeles
and Orange countries.
The region comprising the Rocky
Colorado and Montana, in the order
named in importance. constitute the
most valuable part from an oil pro-
ducing standpoint. is next in im-
portanco.
Of these three, Wyoming 3‘- the
most important. producing 90 per
cent of the oil. There are 14 major
pools marketing oil in Wyoming.
They produce 17,000,000 barrels an-
nually and have not reached their
maximum.
In the last annual report (19:!)

Fellsdd:
"Activity with respect to .the ex-
ploration for and production of. the

lic domain continued throughout

Treasury amounted to 82.302334
while receipts for oil and royalties

fields were dbcovered during the
past year—one in northern Montana.
