Excerpt from Oil Production MethodsThe '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 ¿oor, ' 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
