APPENDIX A.

STATISTICS.

Full statistical data relating to the United States, which occupies the predominant position with regard to the production of crude oil, will be found in the following pages. Owing to the war, it has been found exceedingly difficult to obtain reliable figures for Galicia, Germany, Hungary, Rumania, and Russia. The figures given have been compiled from the publications of the United States Geological Survey, and from information obtained from various Government Departments and other reliable sources. It has been impossible to obtain satisfactory data with regard to the production of ozokerite and asphalt.

NOTE TO PRECEDING TABLE.

In the United States, the barrel of crude oil is reckoned as 42 American gallons, and the barrel of refined oil, or other product, as 50 American gallons (100 American gallons=83.3 Imperial gallons). a In addition to this amount, it is estimated that for want of a market some 10,000,000 barrels ran to waste, in and prior to 1862, from the Pennsylvanian fields; also a large amount from West Virginia and Tennessee. b Including all production prior to 1876 in Ohio, West Virginia, and California. c This includes all the petroleum produced in Kentucky and Tennessee prior to 1883. d In addition to this quantity, 4325 barrels of crude oil were produced in Kentucky and Tennessee in 1896, 4377 barrels in 1897, 19,152 barrels in 1898, and 13,578 barrels in 1899, for which, as none was sold or used, no value could be given. e Includes the production of Michigan. f Includes the production of Michigan and small production in Oklahoma Territory. g Included with Kansas. h In addition to this quantity, about 3,670,000 barrels were produced and unsold in 1904. i Includes production of Oklahoma. k Estimated. Includes production of Utah. m No production in Tennessee recorded. n Includes small production of Alaska. o No production in Missouri; Michigan included in Ohio. p Includes production of Alaska, Michigan, and New Mexico. q Includes production of Alaska and Michigan. r Includes 44,917 barrels from Montana. s Includes 99,399 barrels from Montana. t Production of Alaska and Michigan. u Includes 69,323 barrels from Montana.

In the Oil, Paint, and Drug Reporter (New York) of 22nd July 1895, Mr. A. C. Ferris points out that, whereas the official statistics of the production of petroleum in the United States began with the year 1859, there was a considerable amount of business transacted in petroleum for use as an illuminant during the two previous years.

The preliminary figures for 1919 and 1920 are given by the United States Geological Survey as follows:
