Wells in other states draining Hugoton field in Kansas
Dr Cu Weinaug, head of KU petroleum engineering, testified at a Kansas Corporation Commission hearing that Oklahoma and Texas wells are drawing gas from the Hugoton Field faster than Kansas wells. He said gas moves from high to low pressure areas. Major buyers were summoned to explain why gas should be taken from the field at equal rates across states. Kansas price is 11 cents per thousand cubic feet, Oklahoma 1.8262 cents, Texas no minimum. The Kansas Royalty Owners Assn. accuses pipelines of favoring Oklahoma and Texas gas. Lawyer for Cities Service Gas Co. criticized the testimony as speculative and irrelevant to show cause. The hearing was continued. Other cited companies include Kansas-Nebraska Natural Gas Co, Northern Natural Gas Co, Kansas-Colorado Utilities, Hugoton Production Co, Quinque CU, Gas Producing Co, United Carbon Co, and Shallow Water Refining Co.
