Sinkage Drive Shuts 33 More Oil Wells
The Harbor Commission directed the city tides and oil operators to shut in 33 more wells in the sinking Wilmington Oil Field and approved a contract for a design of a seawater supply system to repressurize the field. The actions, part of a crash program to arrest earth sinking, bring total shut wells to 78 in three weeks. The action cuts voidage on city properties by 40.7 percent but lowers production by 7.6 percent.
