3232.     SOLLIDAY, A. L.  Significance of Hydrocarbon Synthesis in Western Kansas.  Oil Gas Jour., vol. 46, No. 48, 1948, pp. 110-111.

        In the brief that the process of synthesizing liquid hydrocarbon fuels from gas and coal will be the future cornerstone of our oil supply, the Stanolind Oil & Gas Co. has undertaken over a period of several years a vast program of research and development to improve and perfect the process.  A plant to process 100 million cu. ft. of natural gas per day is being built in the Hugoton gas field.  Some general details of the plant and its operation are presented, and criticism is made of the Government’s entry into the production field in competition with private industry.
