Enormous Losses of Natural Cas Government Report Tells For Flooding And Leakage Cause Great Disaster Washington. Nov. 17.?Losses of | natural gas and nil. through flood ing. seepage. waste and negligence-l in the various fields in the lulled States have been enormous. arcord i 11K to statements pf the Interior De-' part men t based upon a recent sur-' vey l?y tlie bureau of mines. While the oil and gas industry has progressed steadily and has 'been I pruptically revolutionized during the' 6 4 years of its existence, losses have I run into untold millions of feet of gas and gallons of oil fuel. Flood ing of oil sands by v^iter have Ir reparably damaged entire oil and gas fields, the water trapping under ground oil that probably never will be recovered. Water in an oil well so increases lifting costs that many wells are abandoned before the nor ' mal recovery of oil and gas is ob I tained. Corrosive waters attack casing and | eventually eat holes in it. Opera-1 I tors in the Kansas Kldorado field i alone expend thousands of dollars 'annually replacing casing, tubing,! | sucer rods and other equipment so destroyed. Although "blow-outs" and "wild wells" were formerly the greatest i factors in the loss, modern equip ment has made it easier to muzzle the unchecked flows. The old prac tice of allowing "gushers" to waste oil and gas unchecked by rove-ins or decreased an appreciable amount, has been done away with, but not before millions of dollars worth of fthe natural resources were lost. In ?the eail> da\s uf the Cushir.g Field in Oklahoma, in 1912 and 1913, It is estimated 100.000.000 fept of gas were wasted daily. Larf&t flowing wells which produced froin 1,000, 1 000 to 10,000 00 cubic feet of gas dally were allowed to flow, the op erators only gathering the oli. Until recently no use was made of gas pro duced in the Salt Creek field of Wy oming and the daiiy loss was esti mated at 42.500.000 cubic feet. In 1912 the total amount of gas [consumed throughout the country Was 602,052,000.000 cubic feet, while the loss of casing-head gas alone was estimated at 141.000.000, 000 feet in that year. It seems orohablo that from one-third to one half of all the gas produced Is wast ted, the bureau's study showed. Production of gasoline from na tural gas was started In 1904 and while the amount recovered has in creased iby leaps and bounds yearly, it was estimated that since that year at least 2.500,000 gallons of gaso line have been wasted, or twice the 'amount was recovered. More than 25,000.000 gallons of gosollna must have been lost In the Hewitt field, in Oklahoma. alone, during this time. From 20.000.000 to 40.000, 000 gallons were lost in the Eldora field. Emulsions with water cause another great loss. Engineers esti mate the production of "cut" oil In I the Mid-Continent and Oulf Coast' fields In 1920 and 1921 at about 100,000.000 barrels, while half of this was lost at an estimated waste, of $100,000,000. Makes Report on The Philippines Washington. Nov. 17.-?Although political activities In the Philippine Islands and In Porto fllco have he??n morkfd In the last fiscal year.
