News Of the Oil World

With the exception Of one or two
of the newer districts field work in
the Mid-Continent field is getting
rather slack. with the probability that
development will not increase dur
ing the summer. This is notice
ably true in the deep sand districts
of the Cherokee country and also in
the shallow development, the Usage
district being in the same condition.
In what has been known as the Ok
lahoma division, there is nothing at
all doing. The Creek country now has
monopoly in field work, in the Glenn
pool, where rigs are going up and
quite number of wells are drilling.
For tipe considerable work will be
done in that vicinity, as new leases
must have well or two drilled in
order to comply with the contract,
and also because a number of new
men in the business have got in there.
Also because unusually good wells
have been found. There is no change
in the conditions in Kansas, although
production there is falling off, espec-
ially in the heavy oil districts, and
contract oil at the wells is in demand
for small quantities.
Greek Development.
Within the past four weeks test
wells have been completed in the
Glenn pool, with fifteen wells drilling
or rigs building for immediate drill
ing. The Robert Oglesby well on the
Isabel Lewis land, 10-l7-12, which is
doing 700 barrels, natural, is the most
important completion, but the I. }.
Bonacher & Co. test on the Sam
Brown land, ,22-17-12, half mile to
the south of production, has a more
important bearing on an extension.
This test, when drilled to the bottom
of the Glenn sand, is doing $50 bar
rels, natural, with strong gas flow,
and makes the territory to the south
look good. The Galbraith well on
the Nina Brook land, l5-l7-12, half a
mile north of the Brown well, is
good for 200 barrels natural, while
the Litchfeld & Sawyer second test
on the Nina Brook land, a quarter
of a mile northeast of the Galbraith
well, is dry, as was the first one.
ID. F. Connolly is drilling test on the
Elijah .Corbrey lapd, l5-l7-12. three
locations west of tile Brown well that
has bearing on the western trend of
the pool.
Oklahoma Completions.
One of the best wells recently com
pleted in the Cleveland district is the
test drilled by the Columbia Oil Co,
and Burnes 4 Cation, on the }. B,
Helmick land, a mile and a hall
southwest of Cleveland. During the
first twenty-four hours the well put
145 barrels in the tank and is a good
producer. w. G., Kennedy 4 Co.,
have completed No, 6 on the Muir
ply land, south of Cleveland, and it
is good for fifty barrels. On the
Morris Michael land, six miles south
east of Cleveland, W. S. Morris &
Co., have a duster in the 1,5OO-foot
formation. The test drilled by the,
Chicago Oil company on the Tanker
ley farm, half way between Jennings
and Terlton, has showing of oil in
the lower Cleveland formation, but
it does not look like a well.
At Blackwell, near the Kansas line,
the Union Oil & Gas company has
Just completed test that shows 3
100000 feet of gas and greatly en-
courage prospecters in that section.
A test is drilling at Perry and four
test holes will be drilled on a block
of 10000 acres of land at Enid, north
west of Guthrie. Pittsburg people
are interested in the enterprise. AT
Stroud, Frank Kiser has plugged the
hole he has just finished there. The
formation was regular at LOO feet,
but there was no trace of gas.
1t is reported that good showing
of oil has been found in the test at
Kingfsher, thirty miles northeast of |
