Court Action Halts Oil Activity
Oil producers and landowners in Franklin and nearby counties await actions to resume sale of oil after court orders halted the pipeline taking since Oct 1. The dispute centers on selling oil via Sinclair Pipe Line Co to Producers Pipe Line Co and potential trucking of oil from Eureka to Humboldt due to declining wells. Attorney General Fatzer notes hearings on Nov 8 and possible sale arrangements to Sinclair interstate or other lines, with broader implications for pipeline jurisdiction and rate structures. Franklin county reported 1,289 producing wells with over 470,000 barrels produced annually. Miami county east of Ottawa has about 2,000 wells producing over 500,000 barrels yearly.
