Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods of Oil Recovery in California The factors controlling the economic exploitation of an Oil property may be grouped into three divisions - those relating to the intrinsic value Of the property as an Oil deposit; those pertaining to and recovering the Oil; and those controlling its transportation and marketing. In this paper are discussed the general methods employed in Cali fornis for recovering the Oil when, owing to insufficient gas pressure or other causes, it does not rise to the surface by natural ow. The report comprises a study of different pumping devices and means Of generating power to Operate them, and summarizes their relative cost and field Of usefulness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oil Production Methods The 'problems associated with the production of petroleum lie in that middle ground where the geologist, engineer and driller meet. It is anticipated that the latter class, the men who have come up 'from the derrick floor, ' will find little that is new in this book. It has been prepared in response to the demand for a work describing, in a man ner that may be understood by the layman, how wells are drilled and oil produced. The subject is too exhaustive to be covered fully in a single volume ofthis size, and if the authors have described more particularly the methods of the Pacific Coast fields they feel warranted in so doing from the statements of travelers that California practice embodies the most advanced methods in the industry. The authors are indebted to various associates for prompt responses to demands for assistance and wish to express their thanks to all of these, especially to Mr. H. H. Hillman, of the California National Supply Company, Mr. W. 0. Todd and Mr. T. S. Kingston, to whom is due much of whatever value this book may have.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods for Increasing the Recovery From Oil Sands In its efforts to reduce waste, and increase efficiency in oil production, the Bureau of Mines is investigating methods of increasing the recovery from the underground sources of supply, which are the foundation of the petroleum industry and the many allied industries wholly or partly dependent on it. In the face of a demand that is increasing faster than the production and that, in the consensus of opinions of well-informed authorities, is soon likely to outstrip the productive capacity, it is well to consider whether it is not possible to extract more oil from the known sources of supply. It is universally acknowledged that by the usual production methods much oil is left underground, the general opinion being that at least 50 per cent of the oil in a field remains unrecovered when the field is abandoned as exhausted. From the writer's own investigations he believes the average recovery is even less, and if any considerable portion of this oil being left underground could be made available it would have a tremendously favorable influence on the petroleum industry and all the industries dependent on it. In this publication are considered the principles involved in increasing recovery and methods of extracting more oil from the oil-bearing formations than by the usual ways of producing. These methods are: The use of gas or vacuum pumps, forcing compressed air or gas through the oil-bearing formations, displacing the oil by water, and better utilization of the natural pressures in the oil-bearing formation. Especial attention is being given to a process - commonly known as the Smith-Dunn - for forcing compressed air through oil-bearing formations because it is believed to hold most promise for the future.

This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Removal of the Lighter Hydrocarbons From Petroleum by Continuous Distillation: With Especial Reference to Plants in California It is regretted that information concerning the operation of top ping plants with eastern and Middle West oils is not available. The writer carefully canvassed the Middle West, but did not find a plant where operation had progressed beyond the early experimental stages and reliable figures could be furnished. The reader will find fuel economy and heat recovery emphasized throughout the descriptions. The conservation of the available petroleum supply is of the utmost importance, and the Bureau of Mines presents this paper to encourage the hearty cooperation Of operators to that end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oil Land Development and Valuation The rapidly increasing demand for petroleum has led to more careful methods of mining, aiming to obtain the maximum production. The entire structure of the oil industry finally rests upon the productive property which furnishes the crude oil. It is therefore necessary that all possible precautions, evolved from past experience, be applied to the construction and mainte nance of the wells tapping the original source of supply. The oil industry is too complex and highly developed to be treated thoroughly in a single volume or by a single author. This book aims to outline only the steps necessary for the full and proper development of lands which have already been determined to be oil-bearing. It is hoped that the subject matter herein treated will be valuable to all who are concerned in or responsible for oil field Operations. The best methods of oil land development require information furnished by both geological and engineering investigations. The information herewith presented is based upon some ten years of such investigations, a portion of which were made while administering the oil and gas conservation laws of the State of California.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Production of Spanish-Type Green Olives Present world conditions, with the prospect of foreign imports being curtailed and the canning of olives restricted in California, make it probable that more olives will have to be fermented or preserved by some method other than the canning process if the olives unsuitable for oil manufacture are to be utilized. Although the canned California ripe olive has for some time been the major product of the olive industry in this state, the fermentation of green olives of the Spanish type has increased significantly during the past few years.
