Detalis of a method for recovery of the larger part of the 30,000,000,000 barrels of crude petroleum estimated to remain in the oll fields of the Na- tion, which are not recoverable by the usual methods of drilling, were explained yesterday by the inventor, Leo Ranney of Tulsa, Okla., to mem- bers of the Federal Oil Conservation Board.
