Overview

Excerpt from Future of Natural Gas in Oklahoma In Oklahoma, as in most other regions, natural gas is found associated with petroleum. While it is. True that there are in the State a few gas wells in which the amount of petroleum produced is negligible, and there are some oil wells which produce but little gas, the fact remains that in at least 90 per cent. Of the wells, both substances are found. This is only what might be expected when the nature of the two products is understood. Petroleum and natural. Gas are but two manifestations of the same series of chemical compounds, one being the gaseous, the other the liquid form. This being true, it is obvious that any discussion regarding the location of natural gas must necessarily include petroleum also. It is not the purpose at this time to enter into any discussion regarding the Origin of oil and gas. The smoke of the battle still hangs over us. Partisans of the chemical theory and of the organic theory still contend valiantly. This matter does not con cern us today. We do not care whether oil and gas are formed by the action of hot water on carbides of certain metals, or whether it is the result of long-continued distillation of animal and plant remains, which were buried in the rocks in by - gone days. There are just three things which we, as members of the Natural Gas Association of America wish to know; First, Where is the gas located? Second, How much is there of it? And third, How can it best be utilized? It is to a brief discussion of these three questions as they relate to conditions in Oklahoma, the state which you have today honored by your presence, that I desire to call your attention. First: Where in Oklahoma has natural gas been found, and where may we expect to find additional deposits?
