Drilling which has been done neal
Lawton shows the presence OF threl
oil sands. and have no doubt what
ever, that, when fully tested ou.
this field will be a large one.
The region that is in the lime,
light now, however, is the country
around Loco. / have made a careful
personal examination of this field on
four different occasions within the
past six months. 1t has all the ear
marks of being one of the best oil
and gas fields in the country. There
is evidence of well marked anti
cline fold passing northwest south .
east across this region. AS you know
two wells have been drilled there.
The first well found five oil sands
and three gas sands at a depth of
less than 1000 feet The second
well found oil, in paying quantities,
at $50 feet and at 400 feet. At
something over 500 feet gas was en-
countered in such quantities that it
caught fire and burned the cable an
the house around the rig. At between
COO and 700 feet tremendous flow
of gas was encountered which, |
understand, is increasing. The latest
advice from this well is now that
the well is making something like
25,0OO,OO0 cubic feet of gas per day.
1t is so strong that it has blown the
casing and it was with great difficulty
that the same was shut in.
In my somewhat extended expe-
rience in the Gil and gas fields of
Oklahoma, | have never heard of a
well equal to this. | very much
doubt if there is anywhere in the
United States a well less than ZOO
feet in depth that produces this
quantity of gas. Practically all the
gas wells of any size in northern Ok
lahoma vary in depth from 1000 to
1000 feet. So far as / have been
able to learn, none of the gas wells
in the Indiana-West Virginia Penn
sylvania fields encountered this
amount of gas at such a shallow
depth.
1t is very significant fact that
with very few exceptions each well
so far drilled in Stephens, Jefferson
Cotton, Comanche, Tillman and west |
ern Carter counties, has produced
either oil or gas, and the create,
part of them in paying quantities
have reason for believing that this
whole country, when tested out, will
be as prolific as the northern Okla
homa field. The three big fields,
Electra and Petrolia, in Texas, and
Wheeler in Oklahoma, are now yield
ing large amounts of oil. The Elec
ira field alone has a production OF
about 10000 barrels of oil day.
The general geological conditions
throughout the counties named are
similar in every way to those in the
electra, Petrolia and Wheeler fields
Judging from surface indications, the
country about Loco, Cornish, Arthur
nd nope, in eastern Stephens and
efferson counties, should, when de-
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1913-05-09

veloped, be very much larger fields
than those juN mentioned, which are
already developed.
This should not be a particularly
difficult field to drill. Practically
all the oil so far found in the Okla
homa wells is at less than 1900 feet
beneath the surface / do not an
ticipate that deep drilling will be
required anywhere on the Oklahoma
side. Especially is this true in the
region about Loco. II am any
judge of geological conditions, this
will be shallow field and a very
productive one.
Very truly yours,

OIL AND Gas IN

The following letter from Prof. c.
n. Gould, probably one of the great
est geologists, especially on oils in
America today, written to Mr.. c. +.
Colcorl of Oklahoma City, relative
to the oil and gas fields of Carter
and adjoining counties, will be read
with interest. The letter reads as
follows:

Mr.. c. f. Colcord,
Oklahoma City. Oklahoma.

Dear Mr. Colcord: Replying tc
your letter Of this date relative tC
Iny opinion concerning the probable
tiles of oil and gas in the south
western Oklahoma field, | may say
that it certainly looks as though
that region is destined to be one OF
the biggest fields of the state.
| have known that region for many
years, having travelled over it extern
sively while in the employ of the
state and government. During the
past few months | have made a num-
Der of trips to that general region.
and everything that | can learn
about it leads me to the conclusion
that, when drilled out, this will be
a tremendously big oil and gas field.
There are already four general loca-
tions that have been drilled that are
yielding considerable quantities of oil
and gas. The Wheeler field, in west
ern Carter county, has nearly 100
wells. Practically every hole drilled
a few miles east of Duncan, and all
have produced oil and gas, and in
many cases in very large quantities.
