Show UU1 Waste of Natural Gas in Texas Much Reduced AUSTIN, Tex., April 6, The waste of natural gas in Texas, which at one time amounted to 300,000 cubic feet, or the fuel equivalent of 26,000 tons of coal per day, has been reduced until there is no considerable waste, according ac-cording to a statement from tho Oil and Gas division of the Texal Railroad Rail-road commission. The statement said, in part: "The railroad commission gives credit for this happy condition largely to the operators who have shown such a splendid spirit vof cooperation, especially es-pecially so when there is so little market for gas at present, and where, in many cases, if the wells were allowed al-lowed to blow, they might come in as good oil producers." 1 ns |
