COM IS 13,01 n wAMVVwwWWWMWWWWMWWWWMMWWWWWWrtWWI PETROLEUM-WHY, WHERE, WHEN AND HOW MEN FIND ltV0l'0lll NOTK In a Rurlcii ot article, of wblch this I tho fifth, W. C. Lehman, manager of tho ('rater Oil and Gas company and Northorn California Oil company, a trained geologist, will tell, In languago thu layman can understand, his reason for belief that1 oil underlies Klamath county. Tho series will bo an Interesting and Instructive history of petroleum nnd tho petroleum Industry, which all who deslro to bo woll Informed should read.) MV W. C. LKIUL1N In dlscunnlng tho variation of tho grade and tyiJH of crude, oil, a It Is encountered In the earth, It Is com paratively easy to state whero cer tain kind will probably be (ound and not much more difficult to ap proximate the quality lo bo natural ly oxpected In any glvon locality, but to stato the cause of such diversity Is a much moro difficult matter. Petroleum Is divided Into two great clases that wblch has a par aftlno base, and that which has an nsphaltlc base. Roughly speaking, oil with an as phaltlc baa Is (ound In the young er geological formations. Oil ot a parafflne base In tho older gcologl-J cal formations. Tho Geological Sys tem I compoed of Qunrtornnry, Tertiary, Cretaceou. Jurassic, Trlnnnlc, Carboniferous, Devonian, Silurian, Ordovlclan and Cambrian, to namo tho members o( tho Geologi cal Systom In their ordor (rom young est to oldest that contain oil In various parts of tho United States. Koch ono ot theio divisions have numorous subdivisions. For example tho Tertiary wblch composes the top two to (our thousand (eel of the Klamath Ilasln with tho Pliocene eoncrally on the surlaeo and the Miocene and Kocene underlying It. Any oil found In tho Klamath IUsfn will probably bo In this Tertiary Sys tom ot formation, tbo exception bolng of Its possible occurence In the Upper Cretaceous.' PnietUally alfoll produced from tho Ttrtlary formation anywhero Is of an nsphaltlc base, leading naturally to the conclusion that If oil be found In tonunerclal quantities In the Klamath Daaln, It will be similar lo mu on pruuuu-u In most ot tho California fields. There am a fow well In 'California that produce oil (rom tho Upper Crctac onun, all tho remainder producing from tho various subdivisions ot tho Ta.Hi.v 1 A ono goes cast, generally speak ing, tho oil Is produced trom rocks of older cms. Tho Pennsylvanlan nnd Mlsslsilpplan, subdivisions of the Carbonlforous era, tho former so named becauso It represents the coal measures of Pennsylvania, Is the home ot Iho high grade oil pro duced In Oklahoma, Eastern Ohio nnd Southwestern Pennsylvania. The older field of Pennsylvania pro duce oil from the Devonian System which Immediately underlie tho Mlsslsslpplan. In this formation Is found tho finest crude oil that Das ovor been found, In quantity, on this continent. It does not follow exact ly that tho grado of oil Improves In quality In direct relation to tho ge ological ago of the formations In which It U (ound (or there would bo too numerous exceptions tor such n rule, PnrntGno boao oil may be found, and has been found, in rocks of Tertiary origin. Somewhere under tho waters ot tho Gulf of Mexico Is a great outcrop ot some formation from which oil of a parafdno buso continunlly oacape. A(tor great storms tho south Toxa coast, In tho neighborhood o( Ilrownsvlllo, l covered with groat quantities of parnfflno that has beon washed thero by tho. waves, still tho south Toxaa coast of tho United Stntes, geologically Is tho youngest part of tho country. Oil of a parnfflno base Is producod In California In limited quantities In certain (lolds. While theso are odd occurences to note, It doos not en an go tho fact that In drilling tor oil In any member ot tho Tortlary aorlea, it la to bo ex pected thnt tho oil ot an nsphaltlc baso will bo encountered, It a com mercial pool la discovered. It the drilling Is to an older formation, oil ot a parafflne baso Is to bo ex pocted. As to the reasons for the great differences In these oils, many causon must Influence their composi tion as found. Let ub Hat some ot thoso probablo Influences: (a) Origin trom different klnda of vege- Katlon. (b) Different degrees oi temperature during distillation, (c) Varying pressures doing distillation, (d) Time consumed In distillation. IT; KUMAR'S CHANCES (o) Condensation during distillation may hnvo boon fast or slow, agita ted or quiet, (f) Material of tho ub torrancan still In which distillation took place, (g) Evaporation, (h) Sulphuratton and oxygenation. And finally poailbly- (I) Repeated distil lations. Additional causes may have caused the changes of the chemical constituents composing petroloum. Electricity may havo had something to do with It. Science has not yet reached the point ot exact demon stration In tbo matter. Crude oil may be anything trom crudo asphalt to freak oils wblch are sometimes found, that though dirty are nearly pure, gasoline and kerosene. The specific gravities ot petroleum are used as a'rough measurement of Its value, the lighter tho oil general- My the moro It I valued. Tho spe- ciflc gravity ot any fluid l tho re lation that fluid boars by weight to the samo volume of water, wator be ing represented a one. Petroleum being lighter than water, lis specific gravity Is expressed by decimals less than unity. Specific gravity Is also expressed In degrees Daume, (or example: Coalings, Calif., oil Is .9550 specific gravity, Midway, Calif. .9580, Kern River, Calif. .9670, Ven ango, Pennsylvania, .8822, Beau mont, Texas, .9352. In degrees Raume, tbo Mid-Continent oils range from 30 degrees to CO de grees, some California oil range as low aa 14 degree Baume. To give aomo IdeajBt tUa composition of the eM that wuld probably be produc ed, It (ound In the Klamath Bastn, If ot aa asphaltlc baae. the follow ing analyst ot petroleum from Von tura County, California, may be con sidered as roughly what could be expected.
