rels production In March against
2,27o barrels In February, and the
average yield per we'll was little
over SO barr Is. In February 20
productive wells had an average
Yield of 81 barrels to the we'll and
made more oil than the remaining
SO completed In the other portions
of the field during the same period.
The Folsom and Pine Grove dis
tricts, which are located In Wetzel
county, have apparently reached
the zenith of their pro ductive
capacity and are now on the down
grade. Further drilling WILL be
unable to sustain the production at
It's present figures.
Warrington continues the center
of very active Developments aud
led all other districts In West .Vlr-
giuia In completed wells during
April and was second In amount of
new operations Its FL productive
wells for April averaged about 2S
barrels to the we'll Its IS new
productive wells in March averaged
about 80 barrels. Twenty two
producers ard eight busters were
the February record and the new
wells averaged 81 barrels apiece.
Twenty FIVE wells and FIVE busters
were completed In January and the
new wells averaged rs barrels
apiece. In December IL productive
wells averaged nearly so barrels to
the we'll and were the largest re.
corded during the month.
Richie county with 22 wells and
FIVE busters completed during the
month made a much better show
ing than In March on completed
wells. but In new operations reveals
slight decline. It productive
wells In April average over 50 bar
rels to the well. In March ~
wells and six busters were com
pleted and the new wells averaged
about IS barrels to the well. The
February record was IS producers
and seven busters and the new
wells averaged about 1871 barrels
each. Its "a productive wells In
January averaged a little over FL
barrels each.
Calhoun county completed only
one we'll In April and 1t vas duste ::
Three rigs and two wells drilling
were under way at the close of the
month. In March, Calhoun came
to the front with two wells which

operations az the close of the month
consisted of one rig and single
drilling we'll. A twenty barrel
producer was its sole record for
January, while results In December
we're measured by single dry
hole.
Four productive wells and two
busters was the record of Marshal
county for April, aud the average
WELD was FL barrels to the we'll.
Five wells, which average 16 bar
rels, and four dry holes was the
story for March In February SIX
wells were completed and four of
those were dry. The two producers
had a total yield of only IS Darrell.
The January record was Jour pro.
ductive wells, which averaged 81
barrels each. Seven rigs and 20
drilling wells were under way at
the close of March, and I9 drilling
wells at the close of April.
West Virginia and Southeastern
Ohio combined completed 3I9 wells
in April, of which 81 were dry
holes and the new production was
5,o4o barrels. This left 1896 bar
rels 70 come from $50 productive
wells elsewhere In the region. Or
while 225 wells in West Virginia
and Southeastern Ohio averaged ~
barrels to the well $50 In Pennsyl-
vania and New York averaged
about four barrels to the we'll.
OF the total amount of new pro.
duction for March, 2,622 barrels, or
a little over 81 per cent. came from
100 productive wells In the South
west. Southeastern Ohio supplied
1877 barrels or over rs per cent.
from 90 productive wells, while the
remaining r,2o1 barrels, or 20 per
