sequence discovered in the western
part of the state.
An oil survey recently made, how
ever, did not make predictions of a
big productive year generally. To
the contrary, unless new pools are
discovered in other states, preda
tions of a slump by oil men prob
ably will be borne out in 1924.
The survey’s most important ob
servation was in the state of Texas,
where it made the prediction that,
unless another Powell field is dis
covered, that state would Bhow a de
crease of approximately 20,000,000
barrels, which would bring the an
nual production down to 100,000,000
barrels.
The survey summarizes as follows:
Oklahoma would drop 2,000,000
barrels unless another Burbank or
Tonkaway Is found (last year’s pro
duction, 162,000,000 barrels), Loui
siana may fall off 2,000,000 barrels
(last year’s production, 22,000,000
barrels); California would show a de
crease of 11,000,000 barrels this year
unless another series of pools like
the Los Angeles basin is uncovered
(last year’s production, 261,000,-
000 barrels), Torrence should re
main in the 700,000 barrels a day
class, the survey added.
An increase of 3,000,000 barrels
should be shown in Arkansas' pro
duction, the survey says; but this
would be offset by far In the slumps
of other states unless potential new
Kansas fields respond gushingly to
the wildcatters* drills.
