News Of the Oil World

Drilling operations are getting quiet
in all parts of the field except around
Mounds. The indications are now the
monthly oil report will show decline
from last months record, as many
companies are shutting down. The on
ly thing that is keeping up operations
now is the rule that leases must be
drilled within certain time. When
test well comes in fine producer,
the owner of the adjoining leases feels
that he must drill also in self-defense,
and thus more or less drilling must be
expected, no matter what the condi-
tions in the market may be.
1t is claimed that the Territory field
is today capable of producing 100000
barrels of oil every twenty-four hours.
This means that the country has al
ready developed and has in sight more
oil than it can possibly take care Of
in the next year, if no further drill
ing is done.
Taking $4,000 Barrels Day.
AT present the pipe line company is
taking $4,000 barrels day. When the
second Whiting line is completed, it
will be able To take 10000 barrels a
day more. This will make $1,000 bar
irels a day. If the territory can pro-
.duce 100000 and Kansas $4,000 bar
rels. then there are still 10000 barrels
Of oil day to be taken care Of.
This means that when the present
plans for handling oil are completed
the surplus will still be greater than
it was year ago.
The Prairie Oil & Gas company is
buying several new sites and build
aDg new tank farms as fast as men
and material can be secured, but pro-
'duction is piling up on it with almost
alarming rapidity. 1t is storing 3d.
900 to $4,000 barrels per day, and
there is from 10000 to $4,000 barrels
it can't handle. This increase is go
ing on, too, in the face of the fact that
hundreds of men have left the field
and gone to Illinois.
And with all this food of oil comes
the opening of the Glenn pool. The
Glenn pool is about fifteen miles south
east of Tulsa on the open field of the
Greek nation. The first well was
drilled on the Glenn farm last Decem-
ber by man who was all in if it
proved failure. The well started
off at seventy-fve barrels day, and
actually increased in output. Gal
braith & Chesley took advantage Of
the knowledge and obtained large
tracts and were fortunate in their Sc
lection. Their second well made 900
barrels the first day. This was in
March, when there was a rush.
Glenn Pool Developments.
Today the Glenn pool is one of the
most interesting developments in the
middle west, there being about q pro-
ducing wells and two gassers, exclu-
sive of number of wells drilled to
the sand, and waiting for pipe line
facilities. The estimated daily pro-
duction of these twenty Zone wells is
5000 barrels. There is now consid-
'erably over 100000 barrels of oil in
private storage in the field, and addi-
tional tanks are being erected every
day. AT the same time, twO-inch
line is taking the oil away as fast as
it can be handled. The remarkable
feature of the pool is the fact that
with two or three exceptions the wells
have not been shot.
The pool is now about two miles
long, north and south, and less than
mile in width, extending from the
Berryhill farm wells in 3-l7-12, on the
north to the Brown farm well in %
17-12 on the south, and the Brooks,
Glenn and Robey BerTyhill in sections
10 and 15-1-12 on the eaest, and the
Electa Robson wen on the west There
is dry hole north, and two on the
Brooks, one quarter of mile east
of production, biting off the east side
directly opposite the Associated Pro-
ducers' corlpany's big well on the
south end OF the pool.
Drilling is now due north and south
along the road, but the general opin-
ion is that there is nothing to condemn
it to the west, while the east is check
ed and four miles south on 1l-16-12,
Smith & Swan got their Tennessee
White duster. All this leasable land
for twenty miles around has been tax
EN- up. All that remains is few tracts
