The larger these pores are, and the greater the volume they occupy in proportion to the volume of the rock mass, the greater will be the contained oil or gas supply, and this proportion in fairly good producing sands, usually varies between one-fifth and onetenth...

Its settlement requires some general knowledge of the business and some knowledge of the local field. The lessee may have a good well from which he can utilize the gas with profit. He may put down another on the same farm and thereby so reduce the -pressure in the first as wholly to destroy its value without getting a sufficient...

For many years the gasoline fractions were practically a waste product during our quest for kerosene ; with the deveiopment of the internal-combustion engine the kerosene is now almost a waste product in our strenuous efforts to increase the yield of lighter distillates.
Página 9 - In burning gas for cooking three distinct steps are necessary: (a) The gas must be properly burned; that is, it must be properly mixed with air so as to burn with a pale blue non-luminous flame. A luminous flame will be wasteful and will deposit soot on the cooking vessel. (b) The flame must be properly directed, that is, the tip of the flame must come close to the cooking vessel.
