C. McDowell, president cf a Pittsburg gas and fuel company t. 1 1 the American Mining Congress tl is afternoon. In part he said: ''Probably the most successful ap plication of geology to gas and " I production is that of the last f w years in the mid-continent -field in Kansas and Oklahoma. It is s.':fe to say that during 1915-16 sevc si million acres of land have been le- s ed there, and strange to say not c: iy has Kansas acreage been brou t back into demand after years of jb solute condemnation as worthless for oil and gas purposes, by practical all of the larger producers, but ie- cord prices for undeveloped leases are now being paid in that territory. This condition has been brougot about by discoveries made on a stric tly scientific basis and by men who had faith in the corrections of the an-ti-clinal theory." After mentioning three prolific Kansas oil and gas people as good ex amples of geology applied to the oil industry, stQccess ' following seVeiai years of ineffectual attempts to devel op the pools by oldm ethods Mr. I c Dowell said that it was very evident that, with careful geologic sV 'practically all the main productive fields of Kansas and Oklahoma could have been forecast and opened, ia continued: "In general it must not be under stood that such forecasting is a sim ple matter for it is not. At best there are many chances of failure, even after a possible trap is disclosed upon the surface of the ground? Net only is there a danger of the trip flattening before the porous strata are are reached but there may he no po rus strata underneath Again there may be, but filled with salt water, again there-may be some denser irr. pervious and intervening on the slo'ie preventing the oil and gas from col lecting m the dome or trap, and 1 t there may be no gas or oil in any :f the formations tapped."
