observance of the conditions of the
field since that time, and the subse-
quent added activity in the manu-
facture of casinghead gasoline has
caused the commission to now view
the situation difterently.
Nine Applications Granted.
The applications for these pumps
were made by A Uruner the estate of
David Gunsberg and the Southwestern
Petroleum company, I'raitW' Oil and
Gas company, J S Cosden and the
Cushing Gasoline company, Black
Panther Oil and (las company, Quaker
Oil and (las company. Producers Oil
company. In granting the applications
the commission says in part:
"It Is shown from the evidence that
the gas at that time (March) con-
tained about two gallons of gasoline
per 1,000 cubic feet; that the value of
the gasoline which could be extracted
from the gas from 1 * o acres In the
Cushing field would range from $<>00
to $1,000 a day. The evidence also
showed that there were some wells in
Ufferent parts of the field which were
still flowing, and that other wells were
so new that the use of the vacuum
pumps at that time would have been
njurious to such wells.
"From the beginning of drilling in
hi- Cushing field there has at least
jeen $10,000,000 worth of gas wasted,
part of which could have been con-
ierved. It is of material interest to
•ho public to save what is known as
•aslngbead gas, that it might be con-
certed into gasoline and at the same
imo the gas used for commercial pur-
"Tliere are now being erected in dif-
■ erent parts of the state many casing-
iead gasoline plants, some of which
•xtract the gasoline and permit the
{as to escape in the air. There must
be a means found whereby all gas
rom casinghead gasoline plants must
e used for commercial purposes after
he gasoline is extracted.
Gas Must L*e Saved.
"Considering the conditions and the
llffieulty in securing prompt deliveries
of machinery, we feel that an order
authorizing the installation of vacuum
pumps throughout the Cushing field
should take effect November 1, 1916.
"Gas taken from the Cushing field
by menus of vacuum pumps or other-
wise and from which the gasoline is
extracted, shall not be permitted to
•scape in the air, but. must be utilized
or commercial purposes.'
It is not understood that the request
or the use of vacuum pumps in the
Cushing field is an indication that the
ires sure in the oil wells is giving out
