A NEW OIL GAINING PEOCESS.
Why drill boles for oil ? Sink mine shafts instead, says Leo Ramicy, a New York engineer, and then tap the oil with small holes. A number of important oil companies have become interested in tins process, and field tests on a large scale are a. probable development for the near future. The present method of sinking wells, Mr Ramicy explains, simply makes holes into the oil-bearing sandstone, and at best only about one-fifth of the oil flows or is pumped to the surface. The rest is tapped in the cavities of the parent rock.
