20 The article on Chile gs drilling activity and petroleum pr ion which appeared
pages 144. and 148 of the 15 Jul 52 (International) issue of Qill, magazine f copy
of which is available on loan in the CIA Litrar7 is accurate as of 1 Jan. 520 The maps
accompanying that issue of the magazine appear also to be accurate insofar as Chile is
concerned,, except it is indicated that there is an oil, field on the mainland at Punta
Delgada (the table lists one oil, well and two gas wells com leted at Punta Delgada in
1951)0
5X1 only gas has been
discovered and produced on Chiles mainland side of the Straits of Magellan. This may
be explained by the fact that some gas wells are so wet that it is a matter of opinion
whether one would call it an oil or gas wall0
3. Under refineries (on. page 148 of the 15 July issue of World Oil.) there are some confus-
ing data. A 209000 barrel a day refinery is twice listed under Empresa Nacional del
Petrolec; and again a 20,,000 barrel daily thermal cracking topping plant is listed
This all refers to one and the same refinery now under constr
and expected to be completed in late 1953 or early 19540 Again under refineries there
are listed two 69000 barrels per day refineries on Tierra del Fuego ? there is only

Chile's consumption of petroleum products will probably be a little higher than her

Pipeline men want their trench where they
want it when they want it-without any head-
aches about tough digging conditions. That's
why top pipeliners around the world pick
CLEVELANDS. Your CLEVELANDS are stripped
clean of useless dead weight and mounted on
big wide full-crawlers to get the remarkably
low ground bearing pressure for cutting mud
or sand without bogging. CLEVELANDS get
their steady surefootedness on the steepest
grades from their lower center of gravity and
from the advanced CLEVELAND principle of
counter-balancing engine weight against the
load on the digging wheel, while a special oil
pan allows continuous operation with perfect
lubrication on anything up to a 30? grade.
CLEVELANDS are engineered and built extra-
rugged with plenty of extra power for trench-
ing rock and frozen ground without costly
breakdowns. See your local distributor today

NATURAL GAS
to 18 MILLION PEOPLE
Natural gas has reached the country's
greatest population center-the northeast-
tern seaboard area-through the Trans-
continental pipe line that started on its
way less than two years ago.
To get there, the pipe line had to
go over-under-or through scores
of natural obstacles . . . rivers,
mountains and swamps. It had to
bypass congested metropolitan areas
and cross a network of 160 railroads
... 355 highways ... 40 rivers. More than
500,000 tons of steel were fabricated into its
1,840 miles of pipe.
Major public utilities in the New York-New
Jersey-Philadelphia area, together with many in
southern states along the route of the pipe line, are
being supplied by Transcontinental so that an esti-
mated 18 million individuals can enjoy the benefits
of natural gas. These utilities can plan ahead with
confidence, for growing natural gas reserves along
the Gulf Coast are presently estimated in excess of
60 trillion cubic feet-enough for Transcontinental
to fulfill its commitments to present customers for
generations.

The steel industry is using all its resources to produce more steel, but it needs your help and
needs it now. Turn in your scrap, through your regular sources, at the earliest possible moment.
THE Revolutionary War lasted 8 years
and its direct cost was $74,555,642.
This sum is considerably less than the
amount Youngstown is spending on expan-

OF THE TOUGHEST TERRAIN
No matter how tough the going ... under the worst of weather con-
ditions ... through slippery mire or shifting sand ... or over rutted,
uneven ground - big SUPER MACK trucks keep the payloads moving
on time. .. at less cost and with less absenteeism.
One big reason why Mack trucks lick the toughest terrain is the
exclusive Mack inter-axle Power Divider*. Where unequal tractive
requirements are encountered, the Power Divider, acting as a third
differential, distributes torque to favor the axle and wheels having
the most traction, thus eliminating power dissipation in useless wheel
slippage.
Mack's exclusive Power Divider combines with numerous other
outstanding Mack features to give you the power, strength, traction
and easy maintenance so necessary for dependable, uninterrupted ser-
vice on the job. Your nearest Mack branch or distributor will give you
complete details. You'll find it's a story worth listening to.

MINIMIZES danger of twist-offs
ON DIESEL ENGINES
Torque build-up isn't indicated by sound or the way the
engine runs; consequently, torque can build up gradually
without warning of impending danger, and before the
driller realizes it, a twist-off has occurred. With the Martin-
Decker Hydro-Mech, the driller can see excessive torque
and then stop to correct it. With the combination of the
Martin-Decker Weight Indicator and the Martin-Decker
Hydro-Meth Torque Gauge, you can get more work out of
drilling operations, because if the torque is not too high,
more weight can be added to speed hole making.
ON STEAM' RIGS
The Martin-Decker Hydro-Mech Torque Gauge, which is
mounted on the rotary chain, immediately indicates torque,
as there is no lag from the drawworks, transmission and
motors.
Indispensable for
MILLING and CUTTING JOBS and DIAMOND CORING
The Martin-Decker Hydro-Mech gives phenomenal savings in
time and equipment when milling, washing over, running dia-
mond core heads, and directional and deep hole drilling, because
the gauge differentiates between the work required to overcome
hole friction and that which is being done by the cutting tool so
that the driller positively knows what his cutting tool is doing
regardless of hole friction, rotational speed, etc.
Substantial increases in rotary chain life are being experi-
enced by Hydro-Mech users, because of the cushioning provided
by the synthetic rubber idler wheel and the reduction of chain
vibration and whip.

Every oil well fire, every blowout, is different. And
this difference requires fast on-the-spot thinking and de-
cisive on-the-spot action. This ability to size up a well
and then to bring it under control in the best and quick-
est way can come only from broad experience. You
don't learn how to cap wild wells by reading a book,
and no one can tell you how to put out a fire. Kinley's
twenty-five years experience, more than 250 fires and
blowouts in fields all over the world, means that you
are drawing full measure on the chief asset required for
successfully fighting oil well fires and blowouts-expe-
rience. Quick action and world-wide coverage assure
that wherever your well is, you can depend on the
experience of M. M. Kinley Co. to finish the job.

electrification
INCREASES YOUR PRODUCTION!
CUTS YOUR COSTS!
DRILLING
Drill more wells faster with electrified rigs which offer you advantages not
found in any other type of oil-field power. Remember that electric motors are
simple, electric controls precise-a bit on the end of a 3-mile string of pipe
can be delicately controlled at 1 rpm or at top speed. Send for GEA-4456, GEA-
3858 and GET-1360.
PUMPING
Pump more oil automatically with units modernized with efficient electric
power. Let our application engineers help you in selecting the motors and
control to fit your specific requirements. Whether the well is being pumped
slowly for long periods, fast for short periods or round-the-clock service,
G.E. dripproof motors ask no quarter due to severe operating conditions.
The G.E. Oil Well Pumping Control will save you many man-hours in labor
and supervision.
PIPELINES
We will continue to engineer the best system for you to move oil efficiently
through gathering, branch and trunk pipe lines. Write for our new publica-
tion, entitled "G-E Equipment for Electrified Oil Pipelines."
REFINING
Because it best combines simplicity, security, and savings, today's trend is
toward greater use of explosion-proof, corrosion-resisting motors and group
installation of control centers. To protect continuity of service at minimum
cost, use secondary selective distribution systems with unit substations. For full
information on motors and control for hazardous areas, send for GEA-4131.

The new SVG gas-engine-driven compressor is essentially the well-
known XVG 4-cycle V-angle compressor ... improved and modernized
by a complete redesign from the ground up and from the inside out.
For twenty years the famous XVG compressor has maintained its
position as a standard of comparison. Time after time new develop-
ments were incorporated into the XVG construction, but there are limits
to improving an existing model. There comes a time when a departure
from even such a successful model is necessary.
The new SVG retains all of those features that have been so successful
in the XVG, and takes advantage of new materials, modern rotative
speeds, up-to-date manufacturing methods, and "know-how" based
upon many years of experience in building both compressors and
engines. The new SVG is the modern-design gas-engine-driven compres-
sor with an outstanding background ... a better compressor, all around.

BORASCU is great for reducing labor costs
in the battle against fire-hazardous weeds and
grasses about all manner of petroleum instal-
lations. In oil fields from California to
Pennsylvania-from Alberta to Venezuella-
economy-minded production men are turn-
ing to safe, easy-to-apply Borascu; the most
practical solution to their weed and grass
maintenance problems. Once tried, Borascu
continues to be used consistently by major
and independent operators for economy and
effectiveness. Users have found that non-cor-
rosive, non-poisonous Borascu reduces the
cost of weed problems up to 80% less than
The cost of former methods. Application is so
easy... just a man, a pail, and Borascu ... no
special equipment is required. And the results
are long-lasting... one correct application can
destroy vegetation and prevent future growth
for 12 to 24 months, or longer! Borascu Field
Men and Distributors are located throughout
the oil fields of U.S. and Canada; ask them

FOREWORD . ? . .
T HE COMPLETE STORY of global oil activity in 1950 epito-
mizes the triumphs and tribulations of this Twentieth
Century. It is a story of freedom and slavery, of private industrial
success and limited achievements of enforced statism. While the
statesman's hope for a "one world" is yet a dream and avenues
of free interchange of information are to a large degree blocked,
there still exist on the side streets of those parts of the world in the
slave bloc some individuals whose hopes for the future are not
dimmed by the realities of the present. They are willing to risk
physical danger in order to play their role in the great drama of
world enlightenment.
It is to those individuals, as well as to government agencies, oil
companies, and other interested persons in the free nations, that
WORLD OIL extends its appreciation for technical and valuable oil
industry information. For it is they who are responsible to a large
degree for WORLD OIL's ability to present these data which permit
a proper evaluation of the global oil industry.
Difficult, indeed, is the task of obtaining a true picture of pe-
troleum activities from Russia and its satellites. WORLD OIL has
used several sources to obtain creditable estimates wherever pos-
sible to permit intelligent analyses of the situation in those coun-
tries. However, in some instances, due to a particularly harsh
drawing of the Iron Curtain, no reliable estimates were available.
In this issue, WORLD OIL has accumulated information from
each oil producing area in the world, presented and catalogued in
the most convenient manner possible.
Included are the most complete facts available anywhere on
international production, with charts on current production levels,
cumulative recovery, number of producing wells, producing depths,
producing formations, and other pertinent information by indi-
vidual fields; on drilling, with compilations of the number of wells
completed in individual fields, footage drilled, and bottom-hole
results. Other tables offer information on pipe lines and refineries,
their locations and capacities.
Also included is the finest and largest collection of current oil
field maps on areas outside the U.S. These maps show size, shape
and location of oil and gas fields, pipe line outlets, and the location
of refineries in practically every international oil producing area.
For assistance in the publication of this comprehensive resume
of the global oil story, WORLD OIL again thanks its sources in the
four corners of the earth.

S. R. Trammel, driller under Mr.

REED Liquid-Blast Rock Bits drill hard
formations efficiently because jets of

a result, cutters are always working on
new formation-making for fast drilling

The blowouts that don't happen never make the headlines.
But every day, on perhaps a score or more of wells, Cameron
QRC Pressure-Operated Blowout Preventer rams are closed against
unruly pressures. The sticking of countless strings of drill pipe is
prevented because the patented self-feeding QRC ram packing
permits the operator to raise, lower and rotate his pipe through
the closed rams.
With a set of Cameron QRC Pressure-Operated Blowout Pre-
venters and HCR Flowline Valves under the derrick floor, preventing
blowouts becomes a routine operation. Year in and year out since
1920, Cameron drilling control equipment has set the pace.
Wherever pressure is a menace to safe drilling, nearly all wells
are protected with Cameron equipment. Check your drilling opera-
tions to be sure that they are provided with this low-cost insurance.

Major; Activity in Western Hemisphere Contrasts
With General Unrest in Iraq, Iran and Indonesia
By DON KLIEWER, WORLD OIL Staff
B OOM CONDITIONS of 1948, !after a general let-
down in the following year, returned in 1950 to
produce even greater achievements. Although crude pro-
duction records throughout the world were common-
place as 1950 accounting ledgers were closed, increased
refinery facilities and pipe line installations starred in the
united purpose of achieving greater oil production.
This drive for more and more oil can be attributed to
two major factors:
? The many facets of global political unrest of which
the Korean war is one catastrophic example and the
nationalization effort in Iran, Iraq and Indonesia is
another.
? The improved dollar position of several countries
whose economies are directly linked with the petroleum
industry.
Standout achievements of the Western Hemisphere
were underscored by rising activity in the U. S.; increased
output in Canada resulting from the completion of the
Interprovincial Pipe Line; and the boom in Venezuela,
the world's leading crude exporter.
In meeting its greatest demand for petroleum products,
the U. S. oil industry established new records in prac-
tically every operating branch. One exception was in
domestic crude production, which totaled 1,972,812,000
barrels, for a daily average of 5,405,000 barrels, 104,000
short of the 1949 daily record but 7.2 percent more
than 1949.
Records set in other divisions included: Drilling, 43,-
204 new wells, a 9.4 percent increase over the previous
record of 39,477 wells drilled in 1948; footage, 159,384,-
000 feet, a gain of 15 percent over the record of 138,-
617,000 feet drilled in 1949; refining operations, daily
runs of 5,735,000 barrels, 186,000 more than the previous
record set in 1948. Natural gasoline' production rose to
180,922,000 barrels, a 15.8 percent gain above the 1949
peak; and underground reserves stood at their highest
point at the close of the year, 26,217,724,000 barrels.
Last year 7780 strict wildcats were drilled as compared
to the 1949 record of 6781.
Venezuela's "Sow the Oil" policy and increasing in-
dustrial diversification combined with record oil pro-
duction to give the No. 1 crude exporting nation a
future replete with full employment. Reflecting a gain
over 1949 of 62,401,870 barrels, Venezuela produced
544,646,947 barrels during 1950.
Increased demand during the year for crude gave
Venezuela a record trade balance, nearly $600 million
as compared with a low of $232 million the year before
when the appetite for oil waned.
Canadian petroleum developments during 1950 were
highlighted by the completion of the Interprovincial Pipe
Line Company line, which extends 1150 miles from Ed-
monton, Alberta, to Superior, Wis. The $90 million pipe
line was directly responsible for an increased crude pro-
duction of 7,425,427 barrels in the Western Canadian
producing fields, resulting in an annual output of 28,-
914,256 barrels.
An increase of 18 operating refineries, from 82 in 1949
to 100 in 1950, accounted for the 366,744-barrel in-
crease in Europe's total daily crude runs to stills, from
681,613 barrels in 1949 to 1,048,357 barrels in 1950.
Western Europe's share of this rise was 930,357 barrels,
an increase of 355,841 barrels from 1949. The 18-refinery
increase was achieved both from the construction of
new installations and the rebuilding of war-damaged
plants.
In Saudi Arabia two developments took place which
were big strides toward helping that country retain its
No. 2 position in Middle East oil. Highly important in
view of expropriation and nationalization trends, was
the signing in December of an agreement which pro-
vided that Arabian American Oil Company and the
government of Saudi Arabia will share 50-50 the profit
derived from Aramco's oil activities there. The pact was
made retroactive to January 1, 1950.
The second significant development also occurred in
December, when oil deliveries were started through the
1068-mile, $230 million Tapline from the Persian Gulf
to Sidon, Lebanon, on the eastern Mediterranean. This
pipe line cuts 3500 miles off the long haul from Saudi
Arabia crude sources to European markets.
The final chapter of a phenomenal year's growth in
Middle Eastern crude production was written in Decem-
ber, 1950, when the area's output for the year was placed
at 635,926,951 barrels.
There were indications that expansion of Middle East
petroleum activities may affect the export balance of
Venezuela. This suggestion is founded on the new Tap-
line from the Persian Gulf to Lebanon. The full impact
of this pipe line on Venezuelan trade with European
countries remains to he seen, but in international oil cir-
cles it is felt that Venezuela may be forced to add other
commodities to its export list to fill a gap caused by any
loss of its European crude markets.
That Venezuela is preparing itself for such an even-
tuality was evidenced in 1951 by the beginning of an
important new export business-iron ore.
On the other hand, the turn of world events-the dis-
cord in Iran and the possible loss of production there
and the fear of another world war-may cause Vene-
zuelan markets to keep their South American oil supply
lines intact and stockpile oil by taking advantage of the
new Mediterranean outlet.

In choosing a geophysical company the oil producer must
look to these three items for practical analysis. Republic assures
ACCURACY by utilizing the most modern equipment available.
Much of this equipment-such as the Photogravity Camera . . .
new reflection and refraction units-has been designed, manufac-
tured, and perfected by Republic's own personnel. This advance,
in methods as well as equipment has led to the uncovering of vast
areas thought unworkable. Much of this increase in usable results
has been directly attributable to Republic's pioneering and six
crew years of experience in the Surface Shooting field.
AUTHENTICITY is assured by Republic's experienced inter-
pretive staff. The most accurate gathering of data is of no particular
value unless a specialist is available to interpret these findings
into profitable exploration predictions. Republic's success in the
geophysical fields centers around careful, interpretive analysis.
The INTEGRITY of the Republic Exploration Company is
best found in their many years of experience. These years have
been markd by a steady increase in drilling operations through-
out the country. Behind every successful completion stands a
successful exploration-and in the geophysical exploration field
one of the foremost names is ... REPUBLIC.

Petroleum 'Need Increases 1,230,900 Barrels Daily;
Total Consumption Reaches Average of 10,978,000
W ORLD demand for petroleum in 1950 increased by
an average of 1,230,900 barrels daily over 1949, or
nearly three times the rate of the increase in 1949 over
the previous year. Europe recorded the greatest increase
in demand, with a rise of 18 percent :over 1949 with the
continued expansion of industrial activity in the post-war
recovery program of the various nations.
Aside from expanded European industrial activity, an
important factor in the near balance of supply and de-
mand in 1950 was the rise of defense production, particu-
larly in the U. S., after the outbreak of the Korean war
in late June.
Combined world production again reached a new high
with a daily average for 1950 of 10,965,800 barrels of
petroleum (crude, natural gasoline and synthetic prod-
ucts). This was an increase of 1,154,700 barrels daily
over the previous year's average of 9,811,100 barrels a
day-the sharpest year-to-year rise in production in the
postwar period.
Total consumption in 1950 averaged 10,978,200 barrels
daily and the 12.6 percent gain over 1949 was only
slightly more than the gain of supply in 1950 over the
previous year, which amounted to nearly 11.8 percent.
Consumption in 1949 showed an increase of 4.4 percent
over 1948. The balance of supply and demand was dis-
torted to some extent in 1949 with the voluntary cutbacks
in production in the U. S. and Venezuela due to the sharp
rise in Middle East output.
World supply in 1950 was composed of 10,365,200
barrels daily of crude and 600,600 barrels a day of

natural gasoline and synthetic products. Total crude
production was 1,052,100 barrels daily, or about 11 per-
cent higher than 1949, while output of natural gasoline
and synthetic products increased by 102,600 barrels a
day, -or 20 percent. Nearly two-thirds of the total pro-
duction of the latter was in the U. S., and the 1950 output
from this area, averaging 498,000 barrels daily, was equal
to the world's total output in 1949. European production
of natural gasoline and synthetic products rose signifi-
cantly in 1950 to 53,200 barrels a day from 26,000 barrels
daily in 1949.
Indicative of the greater dependence on imported
petroleum, the U. S. for the second successive year was
in the column of nations with excess demand over supply,
with last year's ratio of consumption over production
jumping to 590,700 barrels daily from 317,500 barrels in
the previous year. Net imports by the U. S. in 1950 were
550,700 barrels daily, well above the balance of imports
over exports amounting to 122,000 barrels a day in the
preceding year. Due in large measure to the sharply
increased production in Canada, the excess of demand
over supply in North American areas other than the U. S.,
was reduced to 239,600 barrels daily in 1950 from
245,100 barrels a day in 1949. Europe, the largest net
importing area, consumed 1,236,300 barrels daily more
than it produced in 1950, up from an import balance of
1,040,200 barrels a day in 1949.
Three major geographical areas had production in
excess of demand, with the Middle East moving into first
position among the leading supply areas to petroleum-
short nations.

barrels, a gain of 36,713,000 barrels over 1949, resulting
in a .36 percent gain in its share of the world produc-
tion. Iran now produces 6.38 percent of the world's
crude. Kuwait production rose sharply from 89,930,000
barrels to 125,722,000 barrels, a gain of .67 percent to
3.32 percent of the world output. Iraq's percentage rose
.33 to 1.24 percent as a result of its 15,760,000-barrel
increase to 46,760,000 barrels. Qatar production, up
10,707,000 barrels from 1949 to 11,457,000 in 1950, rep-
resented .30 percent of world production. This is an in-
crease of .28 percent over the previous year.
During the year, Saudi Arabia's share of world produc-
tion rose .15 percent to 5.27 percent after increased out-
put of 25,539,000 barrels over 1949 production of 174,-
008,000 barrels. Turkey produced, .01 percent of the
world's total, and Bahrein's slight increase of 31,000

9
barrels over the previous year failed to prevent a decline
of .03 percent in its share of world production, which
amounted to .29 percent.
In the Far East, British Borneo (Sarawak and Brunei)
accounted for a .05 percent increase up to .79 percent
over-all with its 1950 production of 29,700,000 barrels.
India gained slightly to .08 percent of the world output,
while Sakhalin (part of Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lics) decreased slightly to .19 percent. Pakistan, Japan,
and Indonesia each posted a .01 percent hike in their
portions of world production over the combined 1949
total of 1.38 percent. With an output of 803,000 barrels,
China's 1950 proportionate share of world production of
.02 percent was unchanged from 1949.
The ebb and flow of various political influences during
the year are also reflected in the record 1950 crude

WORLD CRUDE PRODUCTION-Continued

production tables. Increased consumption, the Korean
"police action," currency restrictions, and other factors
played major roles in the political facet of world condi-
tions which led to increased attention for Asian oil.
South America's share of world production rose in
1950 to 16.94 percent, .06 percent above the previous
year. This increase was accounted for by continued
Venezuelan oil industry progress. The nation, the world's
largest crude oil exporter, in 1950 produced 544,647,000
barrels, a 62,331,000-barrel increase over 1949, amount-
ing to a .20 percent increase in its share of world pro-
duction which now amounts to 14.39 percent. Vene-
zuela's boom helped declining South American world
production percentages which resulted in Trinidad, Peru,
and Argentina. Chile produced 631,000 barrels, 521,000
more than in 1949, which was equivalent to .02 percent
of the world total.
The percentage yielded by European fields fell .06.
Germany's increase of .03, up to .21 percent, resulting
from a production rise of 1,883,000 barrels over the 1949
figure of 5,947,000 barrels, together with increases of .01
percent in France, up to .02 percent, and .10 percent in
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (except Sakhalin),
up to 6.96 percent of the world total, failed to offset
slumps in Hugary of 331,000 barrels, down to .09 per-
cent of the world total; in Poland of 37,000 barrels, down

to .02 percent; and in Roumania of 2,091,000 barrels,
down to .84 percent. No percentage changes were marked
up by Czechoslovakia, Great Britain, The Netherlands,
and Yugoslavia, which together produced .16 percent of
the world's crude output in 1949 or 5,973,000 barrels.
Egyptian production rose 413,000 barrels over the
previous year to 16,275,000 barrels; however, the coun-
try's percentage of world production declined .04 percent
to .43 percent. Moroccan oil output of 291,000 barrels,
an increase of 155,000 barrels over 1949, and Algerian
production totaling 7000 barrels combined with Egyp-
tian production to leave Africa with a .03 percent decline
in its share of world production.
Production estimates from oil fields behind the Iron
Curtain, including the satellite countries in Europe and
Communist China, are vague. The 1950 Chinese produc-
tion figure of 803,000 barrels is significant only as an
indication of possible oil resources within the Russian
orbit.
Roumania, Hungary, Poland, Austria, and Czecho-
slovakia in 1950 produced 42,482,000 barrels of oil, a
decline of 2,366,000 barrels from the previous year's out-
put of 44,848,000 barrels. Each of these countries experi-
enced a marked production decline, except Austria where
output was increased 105,000 barrels over the 1949 figure
of 6,100,000 barrels.

^ HIS first Rectorhead ushered in a new era of safety
for the Oil Industry. It gave operators their first repockable heart,
which enables them to replace worn out, deteriorated, resilient
packing. It assured a dependable, leak-proof seal that eliminated
pressure build-up between strings, minimized fire hazard and assured
better control of drilling, completion and producing operations
The necessity for frequent repacking, due to the inherent weoknesse,
of resilient seals, led to the development of the now famous Rector
"king of Steel" seal In Rector high pressure Casing and Tubing Heods.
In slip and welding ring suspension casing heads the seal is acquired
by a patented floating welding ring and API ring gasket. In mondr, i
suspension casing heads and all tubing heads it is acquired by the
ground joint seat of mandrel and body plus the API ring gasket
Today, in addition to the greatly improved Rectorheads, Roo- e
"Fulbore" Cementing is contributing to the safety of the Industry
by making every cementing job a master job. Rectorseal, too, is
doing its part by preventing leaks on tool joints, drill collars, casing
couplings, field lines and other threaded connections.
Ask your Rector Representative or authorized supply store for com-
plete details about Rector equipment.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of rig research and field
study has resulted in this most modern of all 5,000-
foot draw works. Ground bearing fits, balanced parts,
and air-operated friction clutches built with watch-
maker precision, have made this super-smooth draw
works a reality.
There are no better rigs ~hcan CARDWELL. Based
on reports from contractors, operators and oil com-
panies, CARDWELL rigs are known all over the world
as "tough iron" because we build them to stand hard
use without repaurs.
THIS power flow shows the com-
pact design of the "Model D." Note
the friction clutch drives,running in oil
in the transmission.

CARDWELL air-controlled friction clutches running in oil-making it possible to
change to any transmission speed without stopping the block-no shock, no time
lost. Rotary table speeds are also changed without stopping the table. Slush pump
drive is operated from driller's position by air-controlled friction clutch. The "Model D"
is available with one or two drums and can be equipped with single engine up to
320 HP, or with two engines up to 160 HP each. Write for new catalog and prices.

Like the giant it now is-the vastness of the
world-wide oil industry makes us humble when
we realize the relatively small part our company
occupies in it.
Yet, we feel justifiably proud of the fact that
during our more than 27 years of manufacturing
activity, we have constantly developed both prod-
ucts and plant facilities to keep pace with its
needs!
American Iron Plant No. I is both technical
and manufacturing headquarters for our outstand-
ing line of oil field equipment. Housed in this
plant is American Iron's modern tool joint pro-
duction line-plus complete machining and heat
treating facilities for all American Iron Products.
American Iron Plant No. 2, covering 71/2
acres, provides sufficient storage racks Complete
handling of 1,000,000 feet of pipe.
facilities are available for the installation of all
types of rotary tool joints to drill pipe.

UNITED STATES
Industry Hangs Up New Marks in Meeting Record Demand;
Completions Total Exceeds 40,000 Wells for the First Time
I N 1950 the U. S. petroleum industry was called upon
to supply the greatest demand for its products that
the nation had ever made. In successfully meeting those
record-high needs, the industry set new marks in practi-
cally every operating division.
Drilling of all types of wells was carried on at un-
precedented levels, and the wells were drilled to greater
average depths than ever before. More pipe line mileage
knowledge was put into operation during the year than
in any other comparable period. Production of natural
gasoline and natural gas reached the highest levels in
history, and reserves of those resources hit new peaks, as
did crude reserves.
The refining branch built additional processing capac-
ity and operated its facilities at record-breaking rates.
Output of the various refined products, with only a few
exceptions, reached new highs. Despite record output, the
products were all consumed, so that at the end of
December, not only had all the year's production been
used, but stocks were at lower levels than they had been
a year earlier.
Domestic crude production was one of the few industry
operations that did not reach record proportions. Al-
though the country's output was exceptionally large, it
failed to match the record production of 1948 by a little
more than 2 percent. However, with all-time high impor-
tations of both crude and products, the total supply of
oils was the greatest in history.
A total of 43,204 new wells were drilled during 1950,
and that was the first time that as many as 40,000 new
wells had been completed in a single year. The 1950
record was a gain of 4242 wells or 10.9 percent over the
previous year's efforts, and an increase of 3727 wells or
9.4 percent over the previous all-time record of 39,477
new wells drilled in 1948.
Total footage represented in the year's wells amounted
to 159,384,000 feet. That was a gain of 15 percent over
the previous record of 138,617,000 feet drilled in 1949.
Refining operations included the running of 2,093,167,-
000 barrels of crude-5,735,000 daily-into plant stills,

and that was good for a new record. The previous peak
had been 2,031,041,000 barrels--5,549,000 daily-in
1948. The rated capacity of all U. S. refineries totaled
6,724,000 barrels daily at the end of 1950, and at that
time the plants were being operated at 90.6 percent of
their rated capacity. A comparison with a year earlier
showed that refining capacity had been increased 152,000
barrels a day to a new all-time peak during 1950.
The nation's crude producers had to be content with a
second place during 1950, as their output was quite high,
but not enough to top the record of 1948. During the
year, crude production totaled 1,972,812,000 barrels for
a daily average of 5,405,000 barrels. That was an increase
of 7.2 percent over output in 1949, but short of the 5,509,-
000 barrels averaged daily in 1948.
Production of natural gasoline was stepped up to
180,922,000 barrels during the year, for a new high mark
that topped the previous peak reached in 1949 by 15.8
percent. Natural gas' marketed production also hit a new
peak of 5975 billion cubic feet, which was 1.0.2 percent
more than the previous high mark reached in 1949.
Underground reserves of crude were increased satis-
factorily during 1950 and at the end of the year stood
at their highest point. The same was true for other
natural gas liquids. Crude reserves total 26,217,724,000
barrels at the close of 1950, representing a net gain of
1,568,235,000 barrels during the period.
Those reserve additions were due principally to the
most active wildcatting year in history. A total of 7780
strict wildcats were completed to far outstrip the pervious
record of 6781 drilled in 1949. Partial results of this
vigorous campaign were 861 new oil fields and 301 new
pay horizons in older fields, for a total of 1117 new oil
pools. A year before the score had been 964 oil pools
discovered.
Detailed data on U. S. operations are not presented
in this number, as they were covered in the Review-
Forecast Issue of February 15, 1951. A partial list of the

With over 54 years full of confidence that Parkersburg

still to come will continue to help developments provide substantial aid to its progress.
of rotary drilling and , A to,
Approv d ?r f el ase: T03/01/29 CIA RDP -0092 A00
Since its founding 54 years ago, Parkersburg has made many
outstanding contributions to the progress of rotary drilling.
Along about the middle of the century, almost coincidental with
the invention of the rotary drilling method, Parkersburg
pioneered and developed the portable drilling derrick . . . and
a few years later became the leader in the development of today's
all-steel heavy duty drilling derrick.
In the early 20's Parkersburg developed the first all-steel port-
able substructures, engine support and pipe rack . . . all of
which are an indispendable part of every modern rotary outfit,
that have saved operators thousands of dollars in drilling time
over the years.
In the early 30's, when lack of adequate drawworks brakes threat.
ened to halt all attempts to drill below 8000 feet, Parkersburg
gave the industry the Hydromatic Brake. Probably no other
single new equipment development of the past 20 years has con-
tributed so much to the progress of deep well drilling. For with-
out the Hydromatic it is almost certain that none of today's deeper
fields could have been discovered.

CENTRAL AMERICA
No New Exploratory Ventures Centered on Guatemala;
Panama and Costa Rica Quiescent During Past Year
ALTHOUGH certain sections along the eastern coast
of Guatemala were considered potential areas, no
new companies conducted any explorations in the area.
The Atlantic Refining Company, The Ohio Oil Com-
pany and Standard Oil Company of Ohio abandoned
their exploratory licenses in Guatemala as the result of
an exploration and exploitation concession law passed
in 1949.
A constitutional provision limits exploitation of mineral
resources to the government, Guatemalans, and compa-
nies of which the capital is at least 60 percent owned by
Guatemalans. Such companies are required to invest at
least 60 percent of profits in Guatemala.
The decree also establishes. the petroleum industry as
a public utility, which under the Constitution means
retroactive legislation can be enacted at any time. The
government under law must acquire ownership of all the
contractor's equipment and machinery at cost to be paid
out of the production received by the government.
No noteworthy petroleum activity was experienced dur-
ing the year in Panama and Costa Rica. Geological ex-
ploration developed nothing of interest in Panama, al-
though the eastern coast areas were considered potentially
productive.
CUBA
O FFSHORE possibilities occupied major interest in
Cuban oil activity at the end of 1950. Cuban Gulf
Oil Company (Gulf Oil Corporation' subsidiary) was con-
sidering an offshore test at Blanquizal off the northern
coast of Los Villas province. Geophysical operations were
extended in 1950 in an effort to increase Cuba's daily
crude production of about 500 barrels.
A previous offshore test of Cuban Gulf on the Hicacos
concession, about two miles out in the shallow waters of
Cardenas Bay in Mantanza State, was abandoned at the
end of 1949 at 5045 feet.

Instead of assembling your Christmas tree from various manufacturers'
products, and thus dividing the responsibility for its proper functioning
and servicing, why not go all the way with Cameron? Since the
introduction of the Non-Lubricated Lift Plug Valve, which has enabled
Cameron to offer the industry Christmas trees assembled entirely from
Cameron products, many operators, sensing the advantage of this
undivided responsibility, have standardized on the ALL-CAMERON tree.

TRINIDAD-Continued ,ir"
1950 and 1949, it appeared that a continuing dollar
shortage was limiting drilling operations to some extent.
This ' conclusion was given further weight by a compari-
son of exploratory tests. In 1950 four wildcats were
completed with a total footage of 29,994, and two were
oil producers. An additional wildcat was undergoing
tests as the year ended. Five wildcats were drilled the
previous year, one of which was successful.
Antilles Petroleum Company (Trinidad), Ltd., re-
ported no significant developments during 1950, and said
its drilling operations would be restricted to field wells
in an effort to maintain production.
Trinidad Leaseholds, Ltd's., exploratory tests continued
at about the same rate as in 1949,, but the wells were
drilled to greater depths in an attempt to test Cretaceous
formations. No Cretaceous production has yet been found.

ceipt of raw material. All chain steel
is subjected to most rigid chemical,
physical and micro-graphic analysis.
The Jeffrey heat-treating department
is equipped with the ',latest devices for
proper treatment.
Accuracies of fit, smoothness of
bearing surfaces and; nicety of balance
give the added life you have a right
to expect from a superior product. For
precision-built oil well chains-specify

Built in-
eluding Agha Jari and Bandar Mashur, were on strike at
different times. Reason for the strike was a small reduc-
tion in the level of certain outstation allowances pre-
viously paid. Previously, the employes and the Ministry of
Labor had accepted the decreases because of the current
high scale of social amenities now existing in the areas as
compared with the pioneering period when the allowances
were arranged.
By April 17, all strikes were settled. A scale of allow-
ances in conformity with amenities provided were to be
agreed on after an investigation.
At Abadan refinery, 300 students and apprentices went
on strike March 24 for various improvements in their
working conditions. Some of their requests were granted
and all returned to work by March 31.

IRA
Drilling Activity Increases 100 Percent Over 1949;
Ten Kirkuk Field Wells Yield 158,909 Barrels Daily
IRAQ'S 1950 crude production of 46,760,206 barrels
was an increase over the previous year of 15,031,166
barrels, giving the country a cumulative total of
495,082,759 barrels. The majority of this production
came from the prolific Kirkuk field, where ten wells were
flowing at the end of the year and were yielding 158,909
barrels per day.
Drilling activity increased 100 percent over 1949, when
nine wells, with combined footage of 29,939, were com-
pleted. The 18 completions in 1950 reached a total foot-
age of 109,346, an increase of 79,407 feet over the
previous year. Six wells were being drilled as the year
closed.
Further development in the next two or three years was
presaged by plans which will increase production and
gain for Iraq a broader role in the international oil
picture.
While Iraq production was discovered in 1927, it was
not until 1934 that its oil found a place on the market.
The initial production, also located in the Kirkuk field,
was several hundred miles from deep water, and trans-
portation was lacking. However, with the completion in

1934 of the first pipe line, Iraqi oil began flowing into
world trade channels and production rose. A broader
petroleum future for Iraq now, as then, is pinned to an
enlarged gathering system to handle increasing production
from Kirkuk.
A contract was awarded in 1950 to Arabian Bechtel
Company for construction of a new addition to the na-
tion's pipe line system. The line, 556 miles long, with a
diameter of 30 inches, and a rated capacity of approxi-
mately 260,000 barrels per day, will stretch from Kirkuk
to Banias, north of Tripoli on the Mediterranean Sea.
Completion was expected in 1952.
A drilling program was in operation in 1950 at Zubair,
southwest of Basrah, where exploratory tests were con-
ducted in 1948 by the Basrah Petroleum Company, with
favorable results. Basrah Petroleum is a member of the
Iraq Petroleum group, which operates the Kirkuk field
and holds concessions covering almost all of Iraq. Iraq
Petroleum Company is owned jointly by Anglo-Iranian

these Model 190-GLU Waukesha Gas Power Units are doing here.
A compact and power-packed six is the 190-GLU, with overhead
valves and wet cylinder sleeves. Designed for dependability ...
better-built for durability-it's an oil field engine all the way.
And rugged in every way-from oil pan to cylinder head. Crank-
case and cylinder block are cast as a unit for structural rigidity
that keeps all bearings and moving parts in alignment. Wet cylinder
sleeves are renewable-every wearing part is replaceable at low cost
and with the least possible trouble. This engine is a lifetime Invest-
ment. Bulletins 1453 and 1472 tell all the many other reasons why.

IRAQ-Continued
Oil Co., (N.J.) ), each with 23.75 percent of the shares.
Surveys were completed for a pipe line route from
Zubair to Fao, on the Persian Gulf. Construction began
toward the end of 1950, and a major part of it was ex-
pected to be completed in 1951. Exports from Fao were
scheduled to begin about the middle of 1952, offering
outlets to the Far East and Australasia.
Mutual agreement was reached in 1950 on increased
royalty payments to the Iraq government. Iraq Petroleum
agreed to increase the rate from four" to six gold shillings
or from $1.80 to $2.70 for each 7/2 barrels produced for
export. Iraq government officials said increased royalty
will yield approximately $47,600,000 additional revenue
for the period January 1, 1950, to October, 1954, when
the former exchange and royalty agreement will expire.
This agreement, the climax to prolonged controversy, was
said to have been made with the understanding that Iraq
would seek no further royalty increases in 1954. How-
ever, in 1951, IPC offered' Iraq an equal share in the
profits after the premier said the company might be na-
tionalized unless his country were given more royalty.
B
Nevertheless, Doc. Nadim el Pachachi, director of the
Iraqi Ministry of Economics, has since said Iraq would
take legal action to obtain higher royalties. The object of
the action would be to require the company to pay roy-
alties at the free world market exchange rate for gold,
rather than at the official London rate as it does now. If
Iraq wins the suit, it would gain a 30 percent increase or
more in its sterling receipts.

KUWAIT
Production Increases 40 Percent Over Year Before;
13 Successful Oil Wells Are Completed During 1950
K UWAIT had a continued increase in, crude produc-
tion in 1950, with output rising about 40 percent
over 1949 to reach 125,722,396 barrels for the 12-month
period. All production of the Sheikdom comes from the
Burgan field, growth of which has been rapid in its 4/2
years of actual operation. Production at the end of last
year amounted to an average of 403,369 barrels daily
from 78 wells, compared with 271,258 barrels a day
from 61 wells a year earlier. In addition to the wells
on production, 18 completed wells had not been con-
nected at the close of the year. Last year's output brought
cumulative production for the field to 284,355,520
through the end of 1950.
Thirteen successful oil wells were completed in the
field in 1950afor a total footage of 61,188. This compared
with 49 successful oil wells finished' in 1949 for a total
footage of 232,468. No wildcat wells were completed
during 1950, but at the close of the year a deep test was
drilling in the center of the Burgan field. The test was
seeking deep limestone production in the area underly-
ing the series of sandstone formations that form the pro-
ducing horizon of this field. Two gthers were in
operation in the field proper at the end of the year.
While an accurate estimate of the increase in proven
acreage made as a result of the 1950 drilling program
in the field is not available, it is believed proven reserves
in the Burgan field total in excess of 11 billion barrels,
or about 13 percent of the world's known reserves of
petroleum. Based on this estimate, indications are that
about 1 billion barrels of reserves were proved dur-
ing 1950.
The 25,000-barrel-a-day refinery at Mena-al-Ahmadi,
16 miles from the Burgan field, completed its first full
year of operations in November, 1950. The plant suc-
cessfully maintained its designed throughput throughout
the year. The 34-mile products pipe line from the re-
finery to Shuwaikh also completed its first year of opera-
tions last November. This line has a capacity of 4000
barrels daily. The handling of the Sheikdom's production
for export was facilitated by the increased capacity of
the oil jetty, an improvement over the previously used
submarine loading lines to tankers.
The entire Sheikdom of Kuwait is under lease to
Kuwait Oil Company, Ltd., jointly owned by Gulf Oil
Corporation and Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, Ltd. The
grant covers approximately 6000 square miles. It was
made in 1934 and only the Burgan field has been de-
veloped for commercial oil production. The field was
discovered in 1938, but because of the war full exploita-
tion did not start until nearly nine years later.

Wafra 1, on February 4. Wafra 2, about two miles west
of the initial exploration, was started February 22 but
drilling was suspended June 9 without result. Wafra 3
reached 5000 feet October 20, and no crude traces were
discovered. As the year closed, another test west of Wafra
3 was being considered.
Aminoil owns half of the Neutral Zone concession.
Pacific Western owns the other half, and has agreed to
give King Ibn Saud a 25 percent share of oil in addition
to a 55-cent per barrel royalty in return for the
concession.
QATAR
Production Jumps 10,707,000 Barrels Above 1949 Total;
Controversy Settled Over Offshore Drilling Concession
Q ATAR'S crude production took a tremendous jump
in 1950 to 11,457,000 barrels, which was 10,707,000
barrels more than the previous year's output of 750,000
barrels. This increase established a two-year cumulative
total of 12,207,000 barrels for the new commercial crude
producer, which became an exporter at the close of 1949.
Daily average production rose from 2055 barrels dur-
ing 1949 to 31,389 in 1950-an increase of 1427.6 per-
cent. Qatar's production in September alone amounted
to approximately 35,776 barrels a day.
A controversy was settled in July over an offshore
drilling concession, held jointly by The Superior Oil
Company and the Central Mining and Investment Cor-
SAUDI ARABIA
poration, a London firm. The concession in question
covered a 12-mile belt around the Qatar peninsula and
included about 6 million acres of seabed. Petroleum De-
velopment Company (Qatar), Ltd., previously had ob-
tained a 75-year lease on the entire peninsula, and a
question arose as to whether the Petroleum Development
lease included some of the offshore territory. An agree-
ment was reached by the companies involved and the
Sheikdom of Qatar whereby Petroleum Development's
concession includes that portion of the seabeds three
miles from shore, around the peninsula, and Superior's
concession begins at the three-mile mark.
BAHREIN
Tapline Cuts 3500 Miles Off Haul to European Markets;
Production Up 25.5 Million Barrels Over Previous Year
S AUDI ARABIA, second largest producing nation in
the Middle East, continued its important position in
world oil output in 1950 with production increasing
about 15 percent over 1949. Total' output for the year
was 199,546,638 barrels, a rise of approximately 25.5
million barrels over the preceding 12-month period.
Daily average for 1950 amounted to 547,000 barrels
with output at the end of the year at 617,872 barrels
a day. Cumulative production through 1950 totaled
71.8,606,491 barrels.
Operations of Arabian American Oil Company, owned
30 percent each by The Texas Company, Standard Oil
Company of California, Standard Oil Company (N.J.),
and 10 percent by Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, were
highlighted by two significant developments at the close
of 1950. Early in December oil deliveries started through
the 1068-mile Tapline from the Persian Gulf to Sidon,
Lebanon, on the eastern Mediterranean. This $230 mil-
lion engineering project, in effect, moved the oil fields
of Saudi Arabia about 3500 miles nearer the markets
of western Europe. The 30- and 31-inch carrier, with
daily capacity of 315,000 barrels, is operated between
Qatif and Qaisumah by Aramco, and from the latter
point to the Sidon terminus by its subsidiary, Trans-
Arabian Pipe Line Company.
The most important change in Saudi Arabian oil came
at the close of December with the signing of a revolu-
tionary agreement which provided that the Saudi Arabian
government, retroactive to January 1, 1950, will receive
in royalties, income taxes and other levies an amount

and other charges. In return the company received sev-?

While no important wildcat wells were drilled during
1950, a total of 21 field wells were completed, resulting
in 19 new oil producers with the two dry wells drilled
for observation purposes. At the end of the year, oil
production was coming from 95 wells in three fields,
with an additional five wells being drilled. In the latter
part of January, 1951, Aramco spudded in its first off-
shore test, 20 miles south of Ras el Mashaab and three
miles out in the Persian Gulf. The 1950 development
drilling campaign greatly expanded the proven acreage
for oil production in Saudi Arabia. An additional 60,700
acres were added, bringing the total' to 190,700 proven
acres at the close of the year.
Production in the Abqaiq field in 1950 totaled 161,-
573,842 barrels from 59 wells, an increase of 23,493,441
barrels over 1949. The Dammam field's output rose
2,364,605 barrels to 33,730,873 barrels for the year, and
production of the Qatif field was 4,241,923 barrels, a
decline of 320,040 barrels from 1949. Production in the
Haradh, Fadhili and Abu Hadriya fields still is closed
in for lack of pipe lines. The Ain Dar field, a 1948 dis-
covery, was placed on production for the first time late
in the year following completion of a 28-mile pipe line
with capacity of 160,000 barrels a day connecting the field
with the Abqaiq field. The latter has pipe line connections
to the Qatif and Dhahran fields, Tapline and the Ras
Tanura and Bahrein Island refineries.'
In addition to the Trans-Arabian pipe lil:le, the oil
fields of Sauda Arabia are connected by a 220-:mile crude
pipe line system, including a 34-mile line from the
Dhahran field to Bahrein Petroleum Company, Ltd.'s
155,000-barrel daily refinery at Awali, Bahrein Island.
This line is owned jointly by Aramco and Bahrein Pe-
troleum, the latter a jointly-owned company of Standard
of California and The Texas Company.
Crude oil production of Bahrein Island in 1950 rose
30,227 barrels over the previous year to 11,01.5,711 bar-
rels. Daily average production at the end of the year
was 30,180 barrels. Cumulative output of this field
through 1950 totaled 120,915,266 barrels. Four success-
ful field wells were completed during the year bringing
total producers to 69.

TURKEY
Lack of Refining Facilities Curbs Ramandag Production;
Government Agency Concentrates on Exploratory Drilling
LACK of refining activities created a forced restriction
of production from Turkey's on'e oil field, Ramari-
dag, in the province of Siirt. Present production from the
field's three wells, only about 500 barrels of 21-gravity
oil daily, is processed by a small topping plant at the
field which produces gasoline and fuel oil for the needs of
local drilling and transportation machinery.
Attempts are now being made by Mining Research and
Exploration Institute (MTA), the government operat-
ing agency, to. obtain a 3000-barrel capacity refinery,
but actual operation is not expected to start until 195:3,
at the earliest.
The government agency now estimates the proved area
of the Ramandag field at 1730 acres, and believes the
field's possible reserves to be 'upward of 70 million bar-
rels. Such estimates (which have been placed by some
sources as high as 250 million barrels) are based by and
large on the presence of numerous surface oil seeps which
occur throughout the country.
Until adequate refinery and pipe line facilities make
accelerated production possible, the institute has concen-
trated on exploratory drilling, rather than productive.
Five wildcats were drilled in 1950, four near Ramandag
and the fifth at Agzikara in the province of Adana, in
the southern part of the country near the Syrian border.
One of the Ramandag wells, MTA Raman 23, proved
productive when it was completed in October, 1950,
finding a petroliferous zone in the Massive limestone of
Upper Cretaceous age at 4473 feet.- Another well in the
same area, Raman 19, produces an oil-water mixture at
a rate of 75 barrels per day- from the same zone. Both
of the wildcat areas are anticlines with stratigraphy simi-
lar to that of the Ramandag field.
BURMA
Output Doubled Despite Labor Strife, Other Troubles;
Burmah ,Oil Plans Additional Drilling in Chauk Field
B URMA crude production in 1950 averaged 1000
barrels daily, approximately double the estimated
1949 output, in the face of continuing labor strife, post-
war confusion, financial difficulties, and diminishing rebel
depredations.
No new wells were drilled in Burma during the year;
however, the Burmah Oil Company (Burma Concessions),
Ltd., was making plans to resume drilling in its Chauk
field to maintain the volume of production.
To improve the quality of Chauk refinery products,
arrangements were made at the end of the year to move
a two-stage crude distillation unit and other refinery
equipment from Syriam, near Rangoon, to Chauk. First
cargoes of this equipment, all of which were scheduled
to be sent up the newly-opened Irawaddy River, were
expected to reach Chauk early in 1951. Burmah Oil said
a year or more would be required to erect the complete
plant.
The Burmese government renewed negotiations with
Burmah Oil directed toward joint participation in the
reconstruction effort. An earlier government effort to
raise money for this purpose failed. At that time, Burmah
Oil discharged its excess personnel. The matter was
handed to the Industrial Court when labor unions con-
tested the discharges, but the Industrial Court's subse-
quent awards did not meet with company agreement.
The case then was referred to the Supreme Court of
Burma.
Burma's internal situation, serious, in 1948 and 1949
e
when insurgents were on the march, improved consider-
ably by the end of 1950. Order was restored by govern-
ment forces in many sections of the country, and the
Irawaddy-a 1000-mile river highway from north to
south-was opened again to traffic, though shipments
over it had to be guarded from shore attacks in some
up-country districts.
Opening of the river enabled convoys of oil barges
and river flats to move products from Chauk to Mandalay
and elsewhere. Frequency of these river deliveries in-
creased in the closing months of the year.
Yenangyaung and Yenangyat fields and certain areas
of the Chauk field proved unworkable in 1950. Burmah
Company's 320-mile pipe line linking these Central Burma
fields with Syriam could not be rehabilitated from demo-
litions carried out in 1942 to deny its use to Japanese
invaders. Since 1946, when the Burmah, Indo-Burma and
British Burma oil companies returned to the country, re-
fining operations have been confined exclusively to Chauk.
The Burmese government confirmed in 1950 that large
quantities of oil were being smuggled from Burma into
Communist China over the wartime Burma Road.
Burma took a serious view of the smuggling and called
on all foreign importers to account for their sales, which
reportedly had been increased 300 percent shortly before
confirmation of the smuggling operations.
Tighter customs regulations were expected to result
from this disclosure.

CHIN
Year's Production Gain Estimated at 73,000 Barrels;
Russian-Chinese Firms Formed for Activity in Sinkiang
E STIMATES on China's crude production for 1951)
place the nation's output at an, estimated 803,001)
barrels, reflecting an increase of 73,000 barrels over
1949's total of 730,000 barrels. The average production
per day in 1950 was 2200 barrels, a !10 percent increase
over the average of 2000 barrels a day during the previ-
ous year.
According to claims from Russia, the Chinese Com-
munist government is attempting to extend production
in the northwestern part of the country. This action.,
according to the questionable source,' was decided upon
at a 1950 Peking oil conference at which a three-year
program of oil industry reconstruction was approved.
Moscow also claimed during the year that crude pro-
duction had been discovered in the Northern China prov-
ince of Shensi.
In December properties of Standard-Vacuum Oil
Company, in which control is shared by Standard Oil
Company (N. J.) and Socony-Vacuum Oil Company,
and California-Texas Oil Company were confiscated. The
seizures included stocks, transportation, storage, and
marketing facilities on the Chinese mainland, principally
in Shanghai. In addition, Cathay Oil Company and
British Asiatic Petroleum Company (Shell) crude stocks
were taken over by the Communist government.
Joint Russian-Chinese oil companies have been es-
tablished to conduct exploration activities and petroleum
development in the province of Sinkiang. Organization
of the companies followed agreements reached after a
Russian-Chinese negotation during March. Similar joint
companies have been established in other Communist
satellite countries of eastern Europe.
North of Tibet, Sinkiang is just across the border from
the Russian region of Kirgiz, where the Russians have
several oil fields.
INDIA
Increase', of 1,157,000 Barrels Reported Over 1949;
Petroleum Concessions Allowed to Continue Ten Years
NDIA'S crude production rose to an estimated 3,051,-
000 barrels in 1950, a marked increase of 1,157,000
barrels over the 1949 output of 1,894,000 barrels.
Burmah Oil Company (India Concessions), Ltd., said
oil traces were reported at the company's Barsilla (As-
sam) test. Drilling reports said some signs were found
in sandstone rock cores from about 4000 feet.
Barsilla, about 15 miles south of Sibsagar and south-
west of Digboi in.the Assam jungle, has heretofore shown
no sign of oil accumulations. Assam Oil Company, Ltd.,
which is wholly owned by Burmah Oil, produces India's
only oil at Digboi.
Assam Oil's exploration program in Eastern India was
continuing as the year ended, with preparations for a
wildcat in the Naga Hills jungle of Assam. The test will
be at Nichuguard, about ten miles from Manipur Road, a
town on the Assam Railway northeast of Calcutta. Site
for the well already is cleared.
Pointing up the exploration effort in India since the
nation received its complete independence, the govern-
ment has decided to permit previously held concessions
for petroleum development to continue for ten years.
These concessions were open to private capital, though
companies other than British entities were limited to a
minority interest, which might affect the amount'of ex-
ploration activity.
INDONESIA AND BRITISH BORNEO
Restored Fields Yield Postwar Peak of 80 Million Barrels;
Standard-Vacuum Achieves Successful Year of Exploration
D ESPITE continued internal political strife and un-
rest in the East Indies, crude production from the
rehabilitated and accessible fields that were all but wiped
out during the war reached a postwar peak in 1950 of
an estimated 80 million barrels. The gain last year of 10
million barrels over 1949, however, was the smallest year-
to-year increase since the first initial attempt was made
to re-enter the area following the cessation of hostilities.
The production increase in 1949 over the preceding year
was nearly 20 million barrels higher, and the increase in
1948 over 1947 was 32 million barrels. Indonesia had a
noticeable increase in production in 1950, with the largest
portion of the area's total output coming from Borneo,
Southern Sumatra and Brunei.
Standard-Vacuum Petroleum Mij. experienced its most
successful exploratory year in the postwar period, com-
pleting eight wildcat wells, resulting in two new oil field
discoveries. The Betun field in Southern Sumatra was

A new method of computation elimi-
nates personal errors and increases pre-
cision, thereby increasing the resolving
power of the reflection seismograph to
the point where small faults and struc-
tures, as well as pinchouts, can be
delineated with greater accuracy.
By this method we compute from 6
to 12 depths from each shot point.for
every horizon. While the client has the
advantage of this increased informa-
tion, the cost is not increased, because
one man does the computing with the
aid of a machine. This method does not
increase the cost of field work.
A means has been developed for ob-
taining weathered layer corrections for
each detector. As an example of the
value of this procedure we cite seven
straight wildcat oil and gas wells in the
Jackson County trend, with an average
depths accuracy of less than plus or
minus 15 feet.

Sumatra, was discovered in September and the single
producing well had a total production of 8005 barrels
during the year. This also is a Talang Akar sand pro-
ducer with the pay at 5850-950 feet. Standard-Vacuum
also completed 33 field wells, of which 29 were oil pro-
ducers and the remaining four dry holes. Heaviest drill-
ing was in the Talang Akar-Pendopo field of Southern
Sumatra with nine completions resulting in nine new oil
wells. The company had five additional wells drilling at
the end of the year.
N. V. Caltex Pacific Petroleum Mij., which did not
resume operations on its concessions in Central Sumatra
until 1949, completed its first postwar well in the Minas
field in February. The company completed 14 commer-
cial oil wells during 1950, all of which are closed in pend-
ing installation of gathering and shipping facilities. These
facilities are not expected to be completed until 1952 at
the earliest. From all indications the Minas field will be
capable of substantial production and it is probable large
crude reserves will be proved by drilling contemplated for
the field. Company officials estimate each well has a pro-
duction potential of about 1000 barrels daily of 36-gravity
crude.
Caltex Pacific now estimates its total proven reserves
of its three fields covering a 2%2-million-acre concession at
500 million barrels. The company isl drilling a test well in
central Sumatra, but no information on its progress or re-
sult was available.

JAPAN
Increased Wildcatting Contributes to Rising Output;
Industry Given Impetus by Secondary Recovery Survey
JAPAN'S crude production during 1950 averaged
slightly more than 5609 barrels, per day, an increase
of 1907 over the 1949 daily production average of 3702
barrels. The increase of 696,299 barrels over the 1949
total production of 1,351,344 barrels was the result of
increased productivity of wildcat attempts combined with
rising production from established fields.
Nineteen wildcats were completed during the year,
resulting in three oil producers and one gasser. The three
producers were drilled in the Niigata prefecture, where
seven other exploratory tests failed.
Japan's largest oil-producing area, the Akita prefec-
ture, produced 1,503,725 barrels of crude during the
year, an increase of 637,931 barrels over the 1949 pro-
duction of 865,794 barrels.
During the year, 162 wells were completed, with 54
producing oil, 67 gas, and 41 dry holes. Total footage,
including wildcats, in 1950 was 301,118, an increase of
137,834 feet over 1949, when 72 wells were brought in.
Of the 72 wells, only 34 produced oil and nine produced
gas. Dry holes totaled 29.

With the Amazing
SAFETY
ADJUSTABLE
STABBING BOARDS
An outstanding new development for the drilling industry,
the Safety Adjustable Stabbing Board, is gaining widespread
acceptance.
The board was developed with Safety to the Crew as the
first concern. It has been proven to be almost absolutely
accident proof.
This board has a wide working range of from 18 ft. to 45 ft.
for setting casing - saving 3 to 6 hours when running a
6,000 to 12,000 ft. string of mixed length pipe. In addition
to its use as a Stabbing Board, there are many other ways
in which you can save enormous time with this adjustable
board, such as - Greasing the Traveling Block, Repairing
the Swivel, Attaching and Removing Mud Hose, Hooking up
for Drill Stem Tests, and Painting Traveling Block while in
operation. Just by the pressing of the lever marked "UP"
and "DOWN" allows the derrick man to raise and lower
the platform to any desired position.
Drilling Contractors using this Board, highly recommend it.
We invite you to call us and arrange for a demonstration -
YOU WILL BE AMAZED!

JAPAN-Continued
petroleum and natural gas producing industry for 1950,
prepared by Leo W. Stach, Natural Resources Section,
General Headquarters, Supreme Commander of the Al-
lied Forces in the Pacific, and published by permission
of Chief, Natural Resources Section, Japan's petroleum
resources were by no means exhausted; however, the re-
vival of the industry was dependent on the location of
new reserves.
Additional impetus has been given the industry as a
result of a survey of prospects for secondary recovery
from Japanese fields nearing the depletion point. This
prospect, together with a stable labor situation, im-
proved drilling efficiency, sound finances and continued
exploration, contributed to a steady increase in produc-
tion throughout the year.
The official SCAP report gave this roundup of field
status: Narahashi field, Yamagata Prefecture, which was
discovered in 1947, was completely drilled up in 1950
and produced 71,904 barrels, as compared with 44,175
barrels in 1949. Nishiyama field, Niigata Prefecture, pro-
duced 79,341 barrels during the year, an increase of 32

o The capacity of the Mid-Valley
Line, already one of the nation's
largest oil line systems, will soon be
expanded by the addition of 26,465
Cooper-Bessemer diesel and gas-
diesel horsepower.
From the very beginning, the plan-
ning that went into the Mid-Valley
Line took advantage of the latest
developments in power and pipeline
engineering to gain optimum oper-
ating economy. And since Mid-
Valley has had experience with
their original Cooper-Bessemer Gas-
Diesels, there's plenty of proof that
these modern, smooth-running en-
gines have what it takes, while
considerably bettering their attrac-
tive guarantees.
The Mid-Valley Line's latest Coop-
er-Bessemers will power four new
booster stations, and will increase
the power in each of the four
original engine-driven stations. This
calls for five JS-8 supercharged Gas-

percent over 1949, as a result of extension drilling in
the Betsuyama area at the north end of the field.
Total production of natural gas for the year was
2,438,974 Mcf, an increase over the previous year.
Japan's percentage success rate for exploratory drilling
of 58 percent for outposts and 66 percent on new pool
tests, maintained the standard achieved during the past
few years as a result of exploration screening by the
Petroleum Resources Development Promotion Council,
established as an advisory body to-the Japanese Mining
Bureau on the recommendation of the Natural Resources
Section.
The most significant additid1 to reserves, said the Nat-
ural Resources Section report, was 8,539,300 barrels at
Yabase field, which resulted from extension activity to
determine productive area limits of the deep reservoirs,
Zones 8 and 9, discovered in 1949 and early 1950.
Small extensions were proved in Hachimori and Kat-
surazaka fields, Akita Prefecture, Narahashi field, Yama-
gata Prefecture, and the Betsuyama extension of Nishi-
yama field, Niigata Prefecture; a new fault block pool
in Kotaki field, Akita Prefecture. Total proved additional
reserves from these fields amounted to 140,976 barrels.
PAKISTAN
Two New Companies Organized After Oil Laws Revised;
Output from Four Fields Goes Over 1 Million Barrels
REVISION of laws governing oil operations in Pakis-
tan resulted in the formation of two new compa-
nies in 1950. Organization of the firms was necessitated
by the regulations, similar to those' applying to foreign
companies in Canada and Venezuela, which specify that
applicants for oil development licenses be either nationals
of Pakistan or companies incorporated in Pakistan.. The
new companies are Pakistan Petroleum, Ltd., a subsidi-
ary of Burmah Oil Company, and 'Pakistan Oilfields,
Ltd., an Attock Oil Company affiliate.
Prospecting licenses were also granted a third com-
pany, a subsidiary of Indo-Burma Oil Company, Ltd.,
making a total of 32 prospecting licenses and four explo-
ration licenses issued under the new, laws for operations
in East and West Pakistan.
Pakistan's new laws regulate all phases of the industry,
from the first geological survey to the final disposition of
products. Qualified applicants may be granted explora-
tion licenses which cover an area of 5000 square miles,
with the provision that the licensee carry out an explora-
tory program at a minimum annual expenditure of about
$1515 per 100 square miles. The exploratory license cov-
ers only preliminary geological surveys and core drilling.
For more extensive exploration the operator must secure
a prospecting license, which requires him to spend at
least $15,150 for every 100 square miles.
et
When the holder of a prospecting license successfully
carries out the conditions of that license, he is then able
to obtain an Oil Mining Lease, which covers an initial
period of 30 years. The regulations further specify that as
soon as production of oil reaches a prescribed minimum,
the concessionaire is obligated to set up a refinery ca-
pable of processing at least 50 percent of the output for
products designated by the government.
Production in Pakistan continued to rise. Production
in 1950 was close to I V4 million barrels, compared with
936,000 barrels in 1949. All production is from four fields
in the Punjab: Khaur, Dhulian, Joya Mair and Balkassar.
Illustrating the production increase during 1950 was
Pakistan Petroleum's flowing Chakwal 2 well in Balkas-
sar field in Punjab, Jhelum district, which in 1950 pro-
duced 444,224 barrels, compared with 72,692 in 1949. At
the end of the year daily production from this well was
averaging 950 barrels.
Attock Oil Company's fields remain the greatest pro-
ducers in Pakistan, and accounted for about 680,000 bar-
rels of crude during 1950. Pakistan Petroleum, however,
is more active in drilling and exploratory operations, and
has undertaken a sizable drilling program. It has also
pioneered in modern techniques such as shooting and
acidizing, but as yet without success.
PHILIPPINES
Three Wells Drilled in 1950 on Luzon, Cebu Islands;
Geological Parties Map Areas in Arguson and Davao
T HE search for oil in the Philippines is still confined
to the drilling activity of Philippine Oil Development
Company, a local corporation largely Filipino-American-
owned, and the geological reconnaissance conducted by
government field parties working under the Philippine
Bureau of Mines.
In 1950 PHODCO drilled three wells. Two shallow
holes were drilled in the province of Pampanga on the
island of Luzon to explore the shallow gas showing in
the Macabebe-Minalin area, but both were dry down to
4215 feet, the limit of the portable rig used. The third
well, No. 4 in a leasehold in Daanbantayan, at the north-
ern tip of Cebu Island, was drilled to explore further the
area, considering the persistent gas showing in well No. 3.

PHILIPPINES--Continued
A standard rotary reached basement at 5908 feet at the
end of the year. The gas zones were tested but the results
had not been released. If results warrant, a production
test will be attempted. From an old well drilled on this
island in 1896 the Japanese bailed oil during their occu-
pation of the island in World War H. Oil continues to
rise to the surface.
Another local entity, Maglihi Petroleum Mining Asso-
ciation, was prosecuting its patent application for its
holding on Bondoc Peninsula in Southern Luzon under
an old mining law.
Under a new oil law enacted in 1949 to promote
petroleum resources, the Bureau of Mines sent three geo-
logical reconnaissance parties to areas not covered by the
prewar survey undertaken by the government. These par-
ties mapped geologically areas in Agusan and Davao
where strong emanations of inflammable gas were found.
It is believed that petroleum production development
is essential to the country's economy because of the large
imports of oil products for the past three years. A local
e
company, the Luzon Stevedoring Company, was consider-
ing the possibility of producing gasoline from its huge
rock asphalt deposit in the province of Leyte (eastern
Visayas). Because of extensive seepages in the area, Lu-
zon Stevedoring was seeking an exploration concession
under the new oil law.
The new law limits participation in oil development to
private enterprise 60 percent Filipino-owned, but under
the so-called "parity" amendment to the Philippine Con-
stitution, citizens of the U. S. and business enterprises
owned or controlled by U. S. citizens are given equal
rights until 1974. The law permits foreigners to operate
as contractors to the government-owned National Devel-
opment Company.
Explorations concessions are granted to qualified pri-
vate enterprises over a maximum area of 2,470,000 acres
for a total term of ten years. Minimum annual expendi-
tures are required and increase in each year of explora-
tion. Exploitation concessions are granted over a
maximum area of 1,235,000 acres for an initial term of
25 years and are renewable for a like period.
NEW ZEALAND
e
T HE ONLY two oil fields of any importance in New
Zealand are now all but defunct. Both fields, Mo-
turoa and Taranaki near New Plymouth in Taranaki
district of North Island, have been the center of much
past wildcat activity, which has failed to discover com-
mercial quantities of oil.
The acute shortage of petroleum and petroleum prod-
ucts during and after the war made rationing mandatory
since practically all the oil consumed by New Zealand is
imported. The shipping problem during the war pre-
vented sizable imports and the shortage of tankers imme-
diately following the war made it necessary to limit the
use of oil on the islands. With the easing of the tanker
problem, rationing was lifted in June, 1950, and the con-
sumption of gasoline, fuel oil, kerosine, and lubricating
oil increased.
AUSTRALIA
Shell Abandons Queensland Activity After Test Fails;
Efforts Continue to Increase Heavy Crude Recovery
O UTLOOK for oil production in Australia is not
encouraging. Shell (Queensland) Development
Company, a Royal Dutch Shell subsidiary, has aban-
doned its search for oil in the state of Queensland where
it has spent some $2,240,000 in an intensive search since
the end of World War II. The decision by Shell Develop-
ment to discontinue exploration in Queensland came
after an unsuccessful attempt in the central part of the
state. Shell's Morella 1, a wildcat about 50 miles south
of Rolleston in central Queensland, was a projected
10,000-foot well when spudded in May, 1950. After drill-
ing to 4525 feet where igneous basement rock was en-
countered, the well was abandoned. A show of oil was
found near 3000 feet.
Remaining oil activity in Australia was an attempt to
increase recovery of heavy crude from the shallow Lakes
Entrance area, 200 miles east of Melbourne in Victoria.
Principal work was in horizontal drilling in some of the
44 wells in the field to increase drainage. Results were not
fruitful.
Australia has operated a shale oil plant in New South
Wales, but having only produced about 65,476 barrels of
gasoline annually at a financial loss to the government,
a decision was made to shut down operations. The state
of New South Wales, backed by the country's major un-
ions and public opinion, is demanding that the shale oil
project be continued.
While actual drilling has not succeeded, geophysical
and geological investigations continue. Standard-
Vacuum Oil Company and Anglo-Iranian Oil Company
have taken interests in geological and geophysical pro-
grams in various parts of Australia. The Commonwealth
and some state governments along with local companies
are doing some surveying. It was recently announced that
aerial magnetometer surveys in the Lakes Entrance dis-
trict of Victoria will be made by geophysicists of the
Australian Bureau of Mineral Resources, and that similar
surveys will be made in other parts of Australia.

does a twofold job: (1) it removes the shale and abrasives
from valuable drilling mud, and (2) the amazingly accu-
rate SAMPLE MACHINE collects cuttings all the time
the separator is operating, to give an accurate foot-by-foot
analysis of the progress of the well. The value and accuracy
of the Sample Machine is recognized by drilling and geo-

STILL DRIVING AHEAD!
We've come a long way together in the
last eighteen years. We? That's the oil industry and
Lane-Wells. Since the day in 1932 which saw the
first oil-well perforated by Lane-Wells, both the oil
industry and Lane-Wells have grown and progressed
-and the end is nowhere in sight.
From the pioneering efforts of the early thirties,
the successful development of gun perforating, Lane-
Wells has steadily advanced by increasing the scope of
its technical services to meet new needs of the indus-
try. Radioactivity well logging, shaped charge perfo-
rating, engineered packer service and others have been
added, developed and improved to render continually
better service to the drilling and producing branches
of the petroleum business. Thousands of operators,
all across the country, can attest that we have attained
a marked degree of success in our endeavors.
But the race is not yet run. Only by continued
application to the everlasting problem of improve-
ment can we, at Lane-Wells, maintain our capacity
to provide the service you of the oil fields need. And
we are doing just that! Research goes steadily
onward, questioning, investigating, testing, trying, so
that whatever tomorrow's oil country needs may be,
Lane-Wells will be ready to meet them. Uncertain
though the future may be, one thing is sure: both the
oil industry and Lane-Wells will still drive steadily
ahead-together.
