Abstract

WHILE it is gratifying to learn these results, even so, the fact that we are dealing with an oil-water fluid and a rise of only 5 ft. per day does not indicate to me, at all events, that this is a normal crude oil or that there is a substantial hydrostatic head below it in the glauconite (oil horizon). Without all the current facts it is difficult to assess the real position in this field, but at least it is to be hoped that, whether developed by standard methods or otherwise, some good use may be made of what oil is ultimately won, even if no petrol or light distillates can be refined from it.
