lpleted, new production and field
Operations was the notable feature
of the June oil report. The gain
in new production was due to
the large number of wells COM
pleted and not to gusher strike,
nor the discovery of fresh areas
| of producing territory. Calhoun
county, in West Virginia, headed
the list as far as the average size
of the new wells was concerned,
while the Warrington district,
which extends through both Mar
| ion and Harrison counties, sup
piled the largest amount OF new
production. There were 123 more
wells completed in the Pennsyl-
vania oil fields in June than in
May, and the gain in new produc-
ton was LAB barrels. The in
crease in field work was 9 rigs and
So wells drilling.
There were 81 more wells COM
pleted in the regions producing
high grade oil in May than in
April, but this gain was accom-
panied by a loss of 451 barrels in
new production. The increase in
field work was 10 rigs and Is wells
drilling, a total gain of 81. April
recorded substantial gain of 81.
April recorded a substantial gain
in wells completed and new pro-
duction, but the field operations
were very nearly the same as for
March. There were 14S more
, wells completed in the Pennsyl-
vania oil districts in April than
in March, and the increase in new
production was 972 barrels.
March completed more wells than
February, and registered good
ly increase in new production,
but in field operations there was
a general decline witnessed every
where.
In the Buckeye and Hoosier oil
districts there was gain in June
of 1863 wells completed, 3,O6S bar
rels and 81 rigs and 10 drilling
wells. Both divisions Of the field
made large gains, and displayed a
good deal of activity. Indiana,
however, completed n more wells
than Northwestern Ohio, and her
new production was 3,1S9 barrels
greater. In May there was gen.
eral increase Of 90 wells and l.
1S1 barrels production, and net
gain of 81 in field work. The
gain from Indiana s new wells
amounted to 1888 barrels, while
the new production from the
Ohio wells made a drop of 357 bar
rels. Indiana completed 62 more
wells than Northwestern Ohio,
furnished 2,147 barrels more pro-
duction, and at the close of May
had 81 more rigs and wells drill
ing under way. The April in
crease in new production was only
80 barrels. Indiana showed de-
crease of 81 barrels, while Ohio s
new wells made a gain of 543 bar
rels. In March the increase in
new production amounted to l,672
barrels, of which the Buckeye dis
tricts contributed 2O9 and the
Hoosier districts l, 1853 barrels.
During June there were COM
pleted in the districts producing
high grade oil 649 productive
wells, 1872 dry holes and 81 gass-
ers. The average yield to the well
was liz barrels. In May the
PENNSYLVANIA oil districts COM
pleted no wells, of which 142
were busters and 43 gassers, leav-
ing $50 with an average yield OF
1912 barrels. In April the Penn
sylvania oil districts completed
TAB wells, of which IA were dus-
tiers and SO gassers, leaving $40
with an average yield of about
1914 barrels each. In March the
Pennsylvania oil fields completed
595 wells and 1874 were busters
and sc gassers, leaving 42o, with
an average yield of less than ll12
barrels. Compared with June,
1908, the month just closed shows
an increase of "a wells completed
and 7S9 barrels in the new pro-
duction.
More wells were completed IN
