Report Some Oil Fields Can Be Made To Yield Second Crop CHICAGO, Nov. 9 (P) -Some oil fields can be made to yield a second crop of oil after the maximum amount has been produced by pumping methods, production engineers told the American Petroleum Institute today. Paul D. Torrey, consulting engineer, Houston, presided at 8 session during which the institute's standing subcommittee on secondary-recovery methods presented 8 prepared report. The committee declared "with the increased difficulty and cost of finding new fields, the recovery of additional oil from old fields by new methods might be accomplished quicker and cheaper than the discovery of like amounts of new oil." The committee reported "the ur.
gency for increased production of certain types of crude required for the war effort, which may not be secured in adequate quantity immediately by exploration for new fields, and the pressing need for petroleum products, near centers of large consumption, provide an important opportunity for the advantageous expansion of secondary-recovery operations." All oil fields are not adapted to the application of secondary recovery methods, the committee.
