NEW YoRK-standard OIL, s5o4.
Southwest operators, interested in
Greene county, are keeping a close
watch on the Ross and Dunn gusher
on the William Loar farm, located on
Blacks run in Aleppo township. Flu.
tur developments in that locality de
pend largely upon the way the Loar
farm well holds up. Its record for the
first week has been very credltable,
and shoali the decline be at the same
rate, il will call out good deal Of new
work within the next month. The
gauge for the "a hours ending at Z
o'clock yesterday morning was 1870 bar
rels, The lightest since 1t was drilled
into the pay. The owners have taken
no chances by agltattng or drilling it
deeper and are not likely to shake it
up SO long as it keeps up at reason
able production.
It will be a month or more before
any new wells can be completed in
the immediate vicinity and this will
give the Loar farm well a long pull
on the producing formation and 1t
would be poor policy to try to make
It do better at this time AMI run the
risk Of fishing job or plugged hole.
