Everett plans to conserve large gas waste in Louisiana
Conservation Commissioner W. J. Everett said experiments were considered to use the 12,000,000 cubic feet of gas wasted daily at the No. 43 Dillon well in Caddo parish supplying several Arkansas cities. He denied reports of a gas cutoff and noted the pressure is too high to control. The plan is to convert waste into poorer producing wells nearby to store gas or stimulate new deposits, a method reportedly successful in Oklahoma.
