Water and Wood Use Debate in Oil Well Recovery Case
Sunset firm transmission of water and wood for steam engines was originally intended for drilling and pumping, not secondary oil recovery. Paul W. Meek, reservoir engineer for Sun Oil, testified Ogallala water is best for flooding eight Whitaker farm wells to boost recovery, estimating 16.4 million barrels available vs 1.5 million more possible with secondary methods, with 4.2 million barrels needed from outside sources. More than 800 thousand barrels had been pumped since the 1940s.
