Ueno, engineer of-the field department of the Nippon Oil company, of Tokio, who left Wyom- ing this week after studying pro- duction and refining methods in Cas- per and adjacent fields. The Nippon Oil Co., is the largest concern of its class in Japan. It is capitalized for approximately $20,- 000,000 and {is paying 25 per cent on its shares. It produces, refines and markets its own products and has an interesting history. The Stand- ard Oil Co., attempted to develop the oil business in Japan about 20 years ago and expended about $10,000,000 in acquiring leases, drilling wells and erecting a refinery. The wells open. ed up were all small and the venture did not prove profitable. It sold its holdings to the Nippon Co., for $5, 000,000 and quite the field. Mr. Ueno says the structure in Japan is very different from what they are in this country, and that the anticlines are seldom more than 300 feet wide. After the Standard had sold out, the Nippon Co. drillea within one mile of the Standard’s last test and opened up a good pro. ducer. If the American company had drilled one more test it probably would have changed the history of the Japanese oil industry. The Japanese methods are very similar to those used in this country, the visitor declared. The sands an found at depths varying from 3,000 to 4,000 feet and rotaries only ars used in drilling. American driller were first used in putting down the wells. The work is now done exclu. efficient. He says that the Nippon Co. may become interested in oil de velopment in this country but that it is doubtful on account of economical conditions being less favorable herp. In Japan the operating. costs ane low and the price of oi] and its products is high. Drillers receive $1 per day barrel and gasoline for $1 per gallon The. higher prises more than maké up for the smaller production. There} are favorable oil indications in many | parts of Japan, but the isolation of these prospective fields makes deve: bpment difficult. He believes that this will be overcome in time and that Japan will become a large oil pro-; ducing country. His company re- gently commenced buying crude ix Mexico but this is the only country from which the company import, crude, ‘ The Nippon Co. was also benefited by the action of the Standard in aban- doning operations in China. It was unable to obtain pipe and casing o1 account of war conditions and it pur- chased all the pipe and casing which the Standard had in. China. Ueno’s work is confined to field operations. Another representative of his com- pany répresenting the refining de- partment,’ was in Wyoming about four months ago. ROYALTY COMPANY FORMS FOR WYO. AND TEXAS OlL Announcement was made in Den- ver of the incorporation in Main, of the Amalgamated Royalty Oil com- pany, with authorized capitalizatior of $8,000,000 for the purpose of ac- quiring producing royalties in the big fields of Wyoming and Texas. The principal offices of the company will be in Denver and the organizers are all men who have made successes in the oil business. The company already has purchas ed several.royalties in producing dis- tricts in Wyoming and others in the Ranger field of Texas, besides hav. ing more in the latter field under op- tion. The new company will begin paying 8 per cent dividends from its inception, a course which is warrant- mately may be in a position to in crease the rate as new royalties are acquired. As yet the company has not bee. fully organized, but the directors will be chosen at a meeting to be held later this week. ——. NEW MANAGER FOR.CARTER R. W. Loucks, late of West Vir- ginia, is the new superintendant for the Carter Oil company in the River- ton district, having arrived last wer and taken up his headquarters there. teens eee NOTICE TO OIL MEN — Location Notices, Affidavits of Discovery, Assessment Affidavits, Township SHERIDAN-WY0, Tests Made by Company Officials Show Production of 1,000 Barrels, Report The second well of the Sheridan- Wyoming Oil company on section 22 of the Maverick Springs fields far exceeds the first one in production and gives promise of prolific flow, according to the Riverton Chronicle. Last week directors of the Sheri- dan-Wyoming company were here from Sheridan, and in company with M. S. Durrill, business manager and organizer of the Fremont Consoli- dated Oil company, owners of the ground, the well was visited and tests made. In comparison with the first well brot in on this property it might be stated that when the oil sand was reached in Well No. 1 it was several days before the oil reached the sur: face, while in the well brought in last week the oil filled up the ten-inch casing from a depth of 1150 feet in a little over one hour, and was flow- ing over the top. The well was cap- ped and a two-inch pipe put in from which a test was made. The flow that was secured was figured at the tate of 1080 barrels per day, but it is the opinion that a larger pipe would have showed a greater production, as the oil was being forced thru this two-inch pipe at a rate that could not be increased. There was no gas in this well, and the entire pressure was the result of the abundance of oil, It is also authoratively stated that the flow from the first well, which was es- timated at 200 barrels a day, has now increased until it is capable of from 275 to 300 barrels each 24 hours. Two more rigs are being made ready as quickly as possible and two more wells will be spudded in at once. It is the intention to drill four more wells in a circle around this last big producer as soon as posstble. That the Maverick Springs field gives evidence of being one of the big Producers of the state is now a fact, and large things are looked for dur- ing the coming spring and summer. That a pipe line will be built this spring is practically certain and that it also will come to Riverton is some- thing much to be hoped, and gener- | ally expected. | WELL IMPROVES FOREST OF files —_— Room 212, Oil Big Muddy Pilot Butte AT LANGE GREEK Seventy-Eight Already Up and Over 100 More Are Building for Spring Work Operations in the Lance Creek field in the spring probably will be the heaviest in any district in the state. Approximately 200 rigs are either up or being erected or the ma- terial being moved in. Seventy-eight tigs have been completed. Thirty- five have been built by the Ohio Oil! company, 23 by the Buck Creek Oi}| company, 4 by the Carter Oil com pany, 11 by the Midwest Refining; PRODUCERS ARE HELD IN LEASH Government Policy in Withdrawn Area Works Injury on Salt Creek Operators Mi any operators having holdin, outside the segregation limits with, drawn by the government in the Salt Creek vicinity are profiting by the order in that many of the former pro- ducing wells in the field are caphd awaiting disposition of pending liti- gation. The wells outside the segre- gation lines are nearly all shale wells and when the pressure was increased due to the capping of the said wells the production increased itself many times in these holes. The operators outside the limits are taking advant- age of the opportunity and are de- voloping their holdings to their ca-- pacity. The geological belief is that there are fissures connecting the said and the shales. When production is shut off from the sand the oil takes the only other outlet to the shales mak- ing a pressure that greatly stimulates production. Evidencing the fact that the gov- ernment’s fatuous policy of conserva- tion is working a hardship on the op-! erators and in many cases ruining the prospect wells in the field is the report received from the Stock’s com- pany, which prior to receiving the shutting down order had a producing well of 500 barrels daily. After a period of several months of capping tho well was opened up the other day to make a test production. After stimulating the well the production was only 50 barrels a day or one- tenth of its former producing strength. Acting on such reports as above local oi] operators are: concentrating every effort in having the leasing bill which will remedy such action of the government passed at the earliest date possible in order to work no further hardship of Wyoming oil op- erators.
