Gas Field, Corpus Christi, Texas. About the center of this view is seen an apparatus with many wheels for the purpose of opening valves. This is producing gas well & is commonly known as a x-mas tree. This sell produces dry & wet gas, also oil & salt water, hence the purpose of the tanks to the left is to separate the water from the oil & the round, upright contraption connected by pipe with the little house is for separating the dry from the wet gas. To the extreme right you will see a new well being drilled. #41
