The report on oil and gas follpws:* The second great mineral asset -of | the state is probably petroleum.

The table following gives the produc: tion of petroleum by counties in 1918 and 1919; 1918.

It is estimated that the total production for 1920 will be more than 16,000,000 barrels. The average price being paid for! Wyoming oils today is $2.85 per bar- rel. Wyoming crude. oil sales. for this year will exceed $45,000,000. f One of the 1 t- and most prom: ising of the undeveloped resources of the gtate is natural gas. Very litte use has so far been made of the im- _mense gas pools scattered throughost ‘the central and western portions of the state. The annual consumption of gas from the oil and ¢ fields amounts.o} about 10 billion cubic feet, of whith) ‘about 7 billion cubic feet are produce 1 in the Byron and Hidden Dome dry ga8 fields, the balance being obtained from . the yarfous oil fields. The combined g and gas fields of the state are.capah of producing one billion cubic feet per day.* The following table shows the estt- mated “daily expacity of the principal gas ficlds, assumifig vie normal’ use of the gas as being from 25 15 to 2 cent of the open flow of the wells: Normal Daily @a- pacity in millions Field County ef Cubic Fee Horn » Par Little Buffalo Basix Springs —- Hidden Dome, fakie _ Golden Hot Spring: Big Sand Fremont- Alkali Butte, mont Rock Springs, Sweetwater- Bowder River Station | {Pine Mountain | Polson Spider |Natrona_--- Iron Creek Mahone: Alien I Medicine Lance Carbon --. w Niobrara |Carbon } Spas ies ee -- 700 In ally all of the producing. } i ng-head gas is used for power and domestic purposes, jand in!

The gas resources invite wise and) economic * development. and industrial | use.
