Humble Oil reports mixed first-half 1952 results
Humble Oil and Refining Co. reports 1952 first-half net income of about $89.3 million, down from the prior year due to higher operating costs and lower crude oil prices under government programs. Production fell, especially in Texas amid refinery strikes, with 1952 output lower than 1951 halves. Directors Baker and Barrow note rising wage and material costs and expect Q3 production to recover, though steel shortages hindered operations. A quarterly dividend of 75 cents per share will be paid Sept. 10 to stockholders of record.
