OIL FIELD NOTES Of 109,392 acres of proved oil land in the state, 55,178 acres are classed as developed and 54,214 acres as undeveloped. The figures show further that the sensational new fields of Los Angeles and Orange counties are producing from about 3 per cent of the total proved oil acreage of the state, that is, about half of the present oil production of the state is coming from 3 per cent of the area producing or capable of producing oil. The present investment of the California oil industry in production, transportation and refining is estimated at $450,000,000. The gusher wells of Huntington Beach, Long Beach and Santa Fe Springs are momentarily giving a considerable return to this investment, but they are being rapidly drilled and will be rapidly depleted. The security of the California oil industry's investment in petroleum is tied up in the oil and gas reservoirs which are interspersed throughout the remaining 97 per cent of the 109,000 proved acres of oil land, and any other additional fields that may be discovered. The race to pass up the hundred-barrel oil sand and get into the gusher production has caused certain operators to forget apparently that the average production of the 9500 producing wells in California is only 40 barrels per day. The industry has reached its present position of eminence by producing much of its oil from these reservoirs of relatively low productivity but long life.

The industry has reached its present position of eminence by producing much of its oil from these reservoirs of relatively low productivity but long life. The Bolsa Chica Petroleum corporation got into the Huntington Beach production list with a 1400 barrel well. Completing its second well in the deep sand at 4800 feet this company had all the drilling troubles scheduled, overcame them all and brought in a beautiful well. The Argonaut Oil company, one of the pioneers of the Huntington Beach field has passed into the hands of the Holly Oil company. The Argonaut's properties and holdings will hereafter be known as the Holly Development company. The Argonaut Oil company was started by W. H. Taylor, of Red Star Montebello fame, and W. M. Kaufman, manager of the Walter P. Temple holdings at Montebello. The Holly Oil company has completed the redrilling and deepening of its No. 1 and puts the well on production at a depth of 5615 feet. The well was finished up in the best of condition and there is every reason to believe it will duplicate its offset, the famous Jackie Coogan No. 1. Rapid changes are taking place every day at Huntington Beach. One of the most important was the taking over of the General Petroleum's Community lease by E. G. Lewis, manager of the Palos Verdes estate. The property was drilled by the General Petroleum company with one well, but no oil was found at a depth of 4300 feet. Lewis believes the General Petroleum company stopped on top of the oil sand and will redrill the well to prove his contention. The Petroleum-Midway has broken the gravity record of Huntington Beach with a producer making 31 gravity oil. The record Petroleum is 1341, compared with last year.

FOR INDIAN An association whose announced objection to the rights of the Its first activity will inflectuous United States 3855, which slipped date without a public ber 11, 1922." It is said that if it now rests with the Indian affairs, is the Pueblo Indians of their ancient land and if these are taken destroy the Indians ther cheating the red as the real American ing is a sport which lose its popularity iters. It has led to tice to the Indians in a race, and to the de-acteristic evidences tions which should isished and preserved the history of this o. It is well for the main that they have speak for them with thority and power, but generally should keep it is going on and back. In the three new fields, which are now being exploited for their gusher production, there are oil and gas reservoirs of lesser productivity. At Long Beach an upper zone of oil and gas is being passed up to the gusher production. The same is true at Huntington Beach. At Santa Fe Springs one company alone has been getting a revenue of over $700,000 per day from one gas well for four months, producing from a gas zone which the supervisor has insisted should be protected although strenuously opposed by a number of operators. The state oil and gas supervisor is charged with the duty of preventing damage and waste of the oil and gas resources of California. The supervisor's work of protection and conservation of those oil and gas reservoirs of lesser value than the gusher zones has been carried forward during the past year in the fact of great opposition by several large interests who are apparently bent upon skimming the cream off these new fields regardless of what happens to the oil measures as a whole and regardless of the fact that the state of California will require petroleum and its products fifty years hence, when probably no Long Beach gushers will be available and no company will be able to boast of a millions barrels a month production from such a field as Long Beach. No person association or corporation is morally or legally authorized to destroy, damage or waste anything of value just because he is in a position to leap beyond it to greater values. The state oil and gas supervisor takes the position that the underground oil and gas reservoirs from which oil and gas are not now being produced are of great potential and economic value as regards the future, and that it is his duty as imposed by law to see that they are conserved and protected. The supervisor stands and will continue to stand for the just enforcement of the laws, which contemplate the conservation and economic use of one of the Palos Verdes estate. The property was drilled by the General Petroleum company with one well, but no oil was found at a depth of 4300 feet. Lewis believes the General Petroleum company stopped on top of the oil sand and will redrill the well to prove his contention. The Petroleum-Midway has broken the gravity record of Huntington Beach with a producer making 31 gravity oil. The record Petroleum-Midway well is Vollmer-Meyer No. 3. At a depth of 4500 feet Vollmer-Meyer No. 3 went on production, doing 3100 barrels daily. In addition to having the highest gravity well in the field, the Petroleum-Midway has the field's largest producer, Columbia 1-1, a completion at 4312 feet, a 3400 barrel producer. The Shell Oil company will redrill and deepen the famous Huff well. The Huff well was brought in a year and a half ago by the Union Oil company of Delaware, and created a real sensation for Huntington Beach. Huff No. 1 resumes drilling at 4463 feet, and will go down to the deep zone. The Shell Oil company will also deepen Ashton No. 1, another well that made oil industry for the Beach field two years ago. Davenport No. 1, a third early producer will also be deepened. Drilling a Seal Beach has passed 4200 foot mark and the showings are not particularly strong and the outlook for a field is becoming just a little bit doubtful. The Seal Beach Oil company is doing the field pioneering and is making a splendid effort to find oil. Prior predictions placed production between 3400 and 3800 feet. The drill passed 3800 feet and found only minor showings. It is believed now that it will be necessary to go on to 4500 feet. The condition of the hole is good and the Seal Beach Oil company has the equipment, tools, capital and management to do it. The Bandini district is fast taking on the appearances of an oil field. There are four wells drilling, and a fifth rig started last week. The Bandini Petroleum company, the ploneers, have a well down 4050 feet, and indications show the possibility of a producer as soon as the water can be shut off. The Fullerton Oil company, the second in the new field, has a well down 3450 feet and is finding some The state oil and gas supervisor takes the position that the underground oil and gas reservoirs from which oil and gas are not now being produced are of great potential and economic value as regards the future, and that it is his duty as imposed by law to see that they are conserved and protected. The supervisor stands and will continue to stand for the just enforcement of the laws, which contemplate the conservation and economic use of one of California's greatest resources regardless of attempts at political intimidation and the apparent concerted efforts of certain interests to break down the fundamental principles of enforcement. The continuous and ruthless activity upon the part of some concerns to break down the proper functioning of present laws of conservation will only serve to reveal their own shortsightedness in terms of the investment in the future of petroleum in California, and tend toward the enactment of more stringent regulatory laws. Huntington Beach deep drilling is the feature of the old field that is coming back fast. The production of Huntington Beach reached the surprising figure of 65,000 barrels last week and before the end of the year a production of 80,000 is predicted. The big increase is all due to the development of production in the deep sands. The Amalgamated Oil company is taking a strong lead in the deep work and has six wells 4600 feet or deeper. On the Pearce property No. 2 is close to 4800 feet. No. 3 is drilling at 4700, No. 4 has passed the 4800 foot mark. Miley-Keck No. 19 tops the list of deep wells with 4900 feet of hole. This well is looking good and stands in hand to beat the world's record for deep production. The Bandini district is fast taking on the appearances of an oil field. There are four wells drilling, and a fifth rig started last week. The Bandini Petroleum company, the pioneers, have a well down 4050 feet, and indications show the possibility of a producer as soon as the water can be shut off. The Fullerton Oil company, the second in the new field, has a well down 3450 feet and is finding some difficulty in effecting a water shut off. The Standard Oil company's McNally 2.1 is making good progress drilling at 3800 feet. The Oakridge Oil company, of Ventura field fame, has a rig up on the Elliott-Bandini property and will spud in in a few days. The Federal Drilling company has the contract for drilling the Oakridge well. The Summit Oil company, a new concern, entered the Bandini field last week and has a rig under construction on the Rossi property. The Rhoades Oil Producing company has taken over the well and holdings of the Scientific Oil company at La Mirada. The Rhoades Oil company is one of the progressive companies of southern California, and its taking over of the Scientific well means much for the field. In view of the excellent showing of the Nevada-Ventura Oil company in its first well, north of the Scientific company, the outlook for the Rhoades Oil company is good. The Scientific well stood at a depth of 3656 feet when Rhoades Oil company took it over. The state mining bureau oil field map No. 20, Long Beach field, revised to October 7, 1922, is now on sale at the various offices of the bureau at 75 cents. Oil field operations reported week ending December 2, shows 33 new wells started, compared with 31 the previous week.

Its first activity will be "to defeat the inquisitous United Stataes senate bill 3855, which slipped through the senate without a public hearing September 11, 1922." It is said that if this bill, which now rests with the house committee on Indian affairs, is passed, it will rob the Pueblo Indians of the southwest of their ancient land and water rights, and if these are taken away it will destroy the Indians themselves. Cheating the red man of his rights as the real American and a human being is a sport which seems never to lose its popularity in certain quarters. It has led to the greatest injustice to the Indians individually and as a race, and to the destruction of characteristic evidences of their civilizations which should have been cherished and preserved for their part in the history of this continent. It is well for the Indians who remain that they have friends who speak for them with increasing authority and power, but the public generally should keep informed of what is going on and back these efforts.
