Up to the end of 1939 this Hugoton PlaId had produced 175.0UO,Ooo,ooO cu. !'to of n~t\.:rnl Gas. It is a sweet gas with r.i!!"h Mat content, rang- lng (ran 1,000 to 1..025 B.T. u. per cu. ft. The individual wells in the Hueoton Field produoe from 1,000,000 to 40,000,000 cu. !'t. of gas per day, averaging about 5.000,000 cu. ft. This gas is mostly taken by the Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co;npany \"lhieh 5 eTves Detroit and other large eastern cities.
