FROM THE PREFACE 
There are many publications which treat separately of one 
or more phases of the petroleum industry, but none which gives 
the fundamentals of each and eliminates descriptions unneces- 
sary to a clear understanding of the various operations entailed 
between the location of an oil well and the distribution of 
refined petroleum products to the consumer. There is very 
little original matter in the book. The sources of compilation 
are numerous ; they comprise the bulletins of the United States 
Geological Survey; the bulletins of the United States Bureau 
of Mines; the reports of the various State Geological Surveys,
