The fact is, only about 20 of the petroleum in an average field will flow "of its own accord" before the gas pressures give out, and the oil flow stops. If we gave up then, gasoline would not be as plentiful, and the price would be higher. But, Standard's petroleum engineers don't give up. By supplementing oil field gas pressures with floods of water, gases, detergents, or even controlled fire, they often more than double normal recovery. These "assisted recovery" methods, developed through years of research, are making new oil fields more productive, and bringing new life to old oil fields. Besides being good business, they lengthen our country's petroleum supply. This is one of many ways in which Standard, with its large oil reserves in the ground, discharges its responsibility to conserve a vital resource... to keep pace with our country's needs for industry, defense, agriculture . . . and to make sure you can "Fill it up," year after year.
