This large production maintained not 50 much on account Of
any newly Wy discovered id as to The nIgs amount Of wells drilled
during any other in the history OF the field.
There has been but important discovery this year.

twenty years ago The Gil from these being very high grade The
followed BY discoveries in Pawnee County, Okla Just adjacent
Usage county These wells have not been large the Usage wells
Pawnee County will produce much oil than the fields Usage

Usage County produced thousand barrels per day Of twenty
four hours and in Section and Section the
with active drilling have kept the production almost high the
previous year These wells like all others Of such large capacity
