History help please! I know its math but i cant change it right now!! When the Texas Railroad Commission enforced new restrictions in 1931, those that benefited most were (1 point) individual wildcatters. small oil operators. large oil companies. Texas state officials.

this explains what happened On Aug. 17, 1931, Gov. Ross S. Sterling ordered the National Guard into the East Texas field, which he placed under martial law. This drastic action was taken after the Texas Railroad Commission had been enjoined from enforcing production restrictions. After more than two years of legal battles, most East Texas operators accepted proration, the system of regulation still utilized.

the problem is over that period alot of the stakeholder benefited. I will double check my research and should have an answer for you

this is an exert of the situation On August 17, 1931, the governor ordered the Texas National Guard and Texas Rangersqv into the ten-month-old field to shut in all of its 1,644 wells and to maintain order. The field resumed production on September 5, 1931, under a new proration order that limited its production to 400,000 barrels of oil per day, permitting each well 225 barrels and giving no consideration to its potential or to the characteristics of the lease. New wells came on line, and by October allowables were reduced for each one to 165 barrels per day. Disgruntled operators filed lawsuits in protest. Others protested by shipping hot oil, or crude produced above the legal limit, out of the field. Because the military still maintained watch, hot-oil smuggling demanded creative maneuvers involving truckers as well as bribed railroad and pipeline employees. As 1931 ended, East Texas field reported its yearly legal production as 121,670,485 barrels of oil and 627,000,000 cubic feet of gas

the oil barrales where limited so this would effect the big oil produces. I cross referenced exas Railroad Commission enforced new restrictions in 1931 with East Texas operators

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the small oil companies since the governors order allowed there to be more competition. I think that was the point that was being made.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you need further data

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i must admit it was interesting research :)
