Wastage of Panhandle gas cuts to 1926 low
Rail road commission officials in Austin said Texas Panhandle gas wastage has fallen to its lowest level since 1926, when 650 million cubic feet daily were blown into the air. Current figures show about 300 million cubic feet daily wasted, with prior peak 1.065 billion. Gas venting stems from unconstrained wells with no disposal connections, under current conservation rules. A May 11 Amarillo hearing will pursue further ratio reductions and Panhandle gas conditions are being reviewed under state law and court challenges.
