arc ridiculed in a copy-
righted article which will appear in
the August number of Sinclair's Mag-
azine. "There is a basis for the as-
sertion that the great oil pools' of
today may Be dwarfed by the pools
of tomorrow," the writer asserts.
"Ill the light of the past events it
is really dificult to understand how
any man can feel warranted in say-
ing file suply will be exhausted within
a certain number of years. Possibly
in another century knowledge of the
industry shall have so increased as
to warrant some serious attempt to
make such estimates but at the pres-
ent the most painstaking calculations
must appear to the practical man as
little short of ridiculous."
In recent months much anxiety
has been felt in this country as a
result of the predictions mentioned,
>ut the facts are this is not the first
time similar alarms were sounded.
The most] recent notable instance
was just prior to the finding of the
famous Glenn pool in Oklahoma.
Going back further for illustrations
of the change of sentiment, the writ
er recalls a few pertinent facts;
Devil's grease, or what we now
know as petroleum, 'spoiled' more
than one good well a few genera-
tes ago. Salt brine appeared more
valuable in the eyes of the wise men
of that day.
A dealer in lubricating oils, upon
being asked to consider the intro-
duction of a new oil 'for illuminating
purposes, once asserted solemnly:
You can never replace or displace
the lard or whale oil lamp.'
"In the early sixties a few flowing
■Us broke the price of crude pe-
troleum from $20 a barrel to 10
cents a barrel, and resulted in such
discouragement that small pro-
ducers abandoned their operations,
believing there never would be suf-
fiuient demand to make their output
valuable.
"Some twenty-five years later the
-following dismal warning was writ-
ten: 'The production of oil in West
Virginia has been pushed to such
extremes that the .glutted market
will perhaps induce more discretion
! I creafter, and thus leave some for N'
the use of succeeding generations; N
in thi case, fxoessive greed lias
wrought an injury thai must be felt
in the future.'
"At that time, West Virginia's
monthly production was about 10,-
000 barrels; ten years afterward the
rate of production in that state was
considerable more than 1,000,000
barrels a month."
After reviewing the development
of the petroleum industry the writer
says: "The reader may wonder what
excuse there may be for advancing
prices of petroleum if there can be
no serious question as to the supply
of crude. Ordinarily one would
say that the relation between supply
and demand must eventually deter-
mine the price of any given product,
but in this case particularly it would
be more accurate to say that prices
must eventually be controlled by the
relation between available suply and
demand. You might, for instance,
have a production of 250,000 barrels
daily in Mexico, but if you did not
have the facilities for taking it to
market, it would be of little value
either to you or to the world.
"Early in the current year, the
Healdton field in Oklahoma was pro-
ducing daily about 22,000 barrels
more oil than is sold, and in Butler
county, Kansas, production exceeded
shipments by about 17,000 barrels
daily. At the same time, producers
in the Cushing field could have sold
at a premium fully 30,000 barrels
more than their wells were yielding.
Here was a case of surplus on the one
hand and shortage on the other. This
was not due entirely to the difference
in quality of the oils produced.
Though the three fields mentioned
are not far apart, as distances are
considered in industry, lack of trans-
portation facilities was one of the
chief reasons why the Healdton and
Butler producers could not satisfy
the excessive demand for Cushing I
oil. |
"But even with the adequate trans- .
portation facilities, price fluctuations
would be inevitable. Supply and de- |
mand seldom run neck and neck. For
j a time demand out-distances supply j
prices advance and production is j
ahead of demand, prices recede and
new production is retarded. We may
expect, therefore, recurring periods I
of high and low prices, but users of
petroleum products need not be dis-
turbed by the 'exhaustion' alarms of
well-meaning statisticians.
