Tulsa forms LP gas distributor for Standard Oil network
A Tulsa based subsidiary, Tuloma Gas Products Co., created by Standard Oil to sell liquefied petroleum gas nationally, will handle LP gas sales for Standard Oil and for Standard Oil and Gas Co. States like Texas Oklahoma Kansas and Louisiana curb production under conservation laws with demand based allowables. Through 1953 production drops by about 300000 barrels daily and imports claim more market share. A towboat on inland waterways delivered 123 million gallons of petroleum products and traveled 53 512 miles in a year alongside vehicle shipments.

Rules Adopted for Littlefield Oil Pool
The Railroad Commission of Texas issued field rules for the Littlefield oil pool setting 20 acre spacing per well and a 73 barrel top allowable in and out of town. Wells on under 20 acres receive half their allowable plus a proportionate part of the other half. Independent operators and royalty owners expect faster, more intensive development. Texas Company and Stanolind favored 44 acre spacing and 75 percent allowable on smaller parcels. Clint Griffin and Arthur Jones, local realtors, pressed for similar rules with backing from the Chamber of Commerce and Jaycees.
