“What are you doing
save our oil resources?”
t Je are concerned these days about America's supply of crude
oil. They say, “If petroleum resources are beginning to run out, we ought
to be careful to make them go as far as possible. What are you big companies
doing to save our oil resources?”
Here’s the answer to that question. Known crude oil reserves are
actually 30 % greater today than in 1940. And in addition to making new dis
coveries, the oil industry—Starc'ard Oil Company of California along with
others—is making each well and h barrel of oil yield more and more. Competi
tion makes us produce and refine s/hlien tly. Here are some of the ways we do it:
Yd Like
to Know...
You may have heard that
p suit has been filed by
the Antitrust Division in
Washington to break up
Standard of California as
well as six other West
Coast oil companies.
Many people have writ
ten us protesting this ac
tion, and many have
asked pertinent questions
about our activities. We
answer all letters individ
ually, but some points
seem of general interest.
We take this way of dis
cussing them for every
one. If you have a ques
tion, we urge you to write:

Remember the gusher?
Years ago new wells were al
lowed to erupt. But oil men
found ways to stop this waste.
And now they extract three
new fuels from the gas mixture.
Latest techniques help us in
warring on waste. Standard
uses a new “electronic brain”
to compute best way to drill
oil fields for greatest yield 25
years or more into the future.
We also prevent waste by
tapping oil pools which used
to be out of reach. Through
research into drilling tech
niques we make holes curve,
under mountains, for example.
Natural gas, a by-product of
oil production, was once merely
wasted. But oil companies long
ago learned how to capture it,
put this energy to work, and
conserve natural oil resources.
AwWV
Time was when only natural
pressure lifted oil to the surface.
Wells often “went flat.” We
now use huge systems to pump
pressure back in, recovering
much oil formerly lost.
And research in refining
helps. In 1920, Western refin
eries were getting less than 7
gallons of gasoline from each
barrel of crude. They now get
20 gallons of far better gas.
