Kansas Sets September Oil Allowable At 325000 Barrels Daily
The Kansas Corporation Commission today backed a proposal to hold September crude oil production to 325000 barrels daily, with a 25 barrel daily top for Kansas wells as in August. State conservation director T A Morgan in Wichita said September output should run about 310000 to 315000 barrels daily, noting the price situation in Kansas as normal and no distress at refineries. An industry witness from Sinclair Tulsa cautioned that if Kansas crude continues to exceed nominations by about 7000 barrels daily, drastic steps could be necessary, with 15 days left to adjust. Morgan also reported September nominations totaling 286934 barrels daily, about 4953 below August.
