Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evaporation Loss of Petroleum in the Mid-Continent Field In 1919 the United States was threatened with a shortage of gaso line. In spite of this well-known fact, a detailed field investigation has shown that in one stage only of handling crude oil the volume of gasoline that evaporates is equal to one-thirtieth of the country's yearly gasoline production. This loss occurs during the few days that the oil is stored on the leases before being taken by the pipe line, and in 1919, in the mid-continent field alone, it amounted to gallons. Large as it is, it is only a part of the loss on the lease. Investigation has further shown that the gasoline in crude oil evaporates from one-half to six-tenths as rapidly as the same gaso line after being distilled and stored, all evaporative conditions being the same.
