WYOMING DEL
IN THE LEAD
Our neighboring state will solve the problem of the shortage
of gasoline and oils by increased production from its
new fields you should take advantage of
the profits to be made
The eyes of the oil world are turning towards Wyoming. Cali
fornia is experiencing an actual gasoline shortage at the present time;
many of the mid-continent fields are showing rapid decreases jn pro
duction; the state of Wyoming is rapidly increasing its productin and
during coming months the drilling in new fields will continue rapidly
(
MMIHMMIMHMmtMMMWItlMeW
Oil production in Wyoming is steadily increasing.
There were marketed from "Wyoming oil fields in the
year 1916 a total of 6,234,137 barrels; in 1917, 8,978,680
barrels; in 1918, 12,810,230 barrels; in 1919, 13,877,640
barrels, according to reliable reports furnished to us. No
other business in the world offers such unlimited oppor
tunities for the legitimate accumulation of wealth as the
American oil industry.
It is estimated on good authority that Wyoming's
available oil, stored in the earth, is not less than 400,000,
000 barrels. And only about 9.5 per cent has been ex
tracted, as compared with 33.1 per cent in California,
61.4 per cent in Illinois, 69.1 per cent in the Appalachian
fields, and 36.2 per cent in the mid-continent fields of
Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas. No other business in the
world has so continuously and so certainly returned
enormous profits to investors, and no other business in the
world has ever assembled for and widely distributed
among its supporters so many great fortunes.
Experts state that yields of 40 barrels per day to the
well is the average production of the Wyoming oil fields,,
as compared to an average of only 4V barrels per day to
the well for the entire United States. Wyoming had
1,327 producing wells in 1918 and 1,630 producing wells
in 1919. The year 1920 will go far ahead of this. No
other business in the world exists, that having accom
plished such marvelous results, as the oil business, still
continues to offer the same wonderful opportunities for
the discerning investor.
Constant increases in the prices of crude oil h"
caused unprecedented activity in the Wyoming oil fields.
Mxv'reds of wells are being drilled in proven fields an1
hundreds of prospect wells are being drilled in new and
unproven fields. y The present market price of crude oil
in Wyoming is from $2.75 to $5.25 per barrel. Oil is the
most profitable, legitimate and essential business in the
world today.
Authorities state that gasoline extraction from
Wyoming crude oil is the highest of any field in the
United States, being from 32 to 53 per cent, as compared
to 24 per cent in the mid-continent, 28 per cent in the
Appalachian and 12 per cent in the California fields. The
Wyoming w"ells not only give very large initial produc
tion, but owing to the thickness of the sands and the
favorable geological formations they maintain a high
rate of production to a degree not surpassed by any other
field.
The Wyoming-Northeastern Oil Company is actively
engaged in the eastern Wyoming oil fields. It has drilled
to a depth of over 1,400 feet in the Mule Creek oil field
and a few weeks of active drilling should bring in a suc
cessful weil on its holdings, proving a large amount of
acreage adjacent to and surrounding the well. The
operations of the company at the prsent time are limited
'040jteres situated, n tne Mule Creek and Hidden
Dome fields. The mony received from the sale of stock
of the company is being used for the development of these
holdings. . '

Bureau of Securities, Department of Trade and Com
