In the Oil Fields
MAKING
IN FIELD

BLACKWELL, okla, Sept, 1S,-H.
II. Spencer, head Of the Duluth-Okla-
homa OH company with headquarters
at Duluth, MINI, came into the field
Thursday and despite the mud and
bad conditions was taken all over the
field. His son, II. L.. Spencer, Is the
Oklahoma representative OF the con.
Ccrn and head Of the Spencer oil com
pauy. II was through Mr.. Spencer
that the Duluth-Oklahoma company
became Interested In the Blackwell
field ana it was through their work
with the Wolf wen that the present
development VAS started. The Duluth
Oklahoma company has three more
wells to drill to keep their contract
with the blackwell on q Gas Co.
n II Is Mr.. S]penCcr's intention
10 do this as soon az possible. They
have a contract with the b. o.. e. G.. Co.
TO drill five deep holes for the oil
rights on a certain per cent Of the
nCrCaEe.
T]welvc-inch casing was set in the
Swenson wen, B. b. Jones location by
the O'Rourkc drlllors. 1t is not eX-
Dectcd that the 1,430-foot sand win
produce much gas In this location for
It is too far TO the east. They are
close TO 1000 in the hole.
The sherman, southeast 5-2S-lc
was drilling at $50 feet. They were
down for some time setting casing but
are going well again. This well is dt-
rcCtlv south of production and Is on
"A lease which was in Mitigation when
the rig was started. Apparently the
Southwestern company has straight
rned out its difficulties and will
drill TO the oil sand.
The Kay and KiOwa well on the J.
X. Smith place, northeast 6-2S-Ic, was
drilling at Gao feet. Twclye-inCh cas-
Ing is being hauled to the location and
will be set at $50 feet.
Little progress has been made in
either the Albert No. 2 or the b.. b.
Jones well on the Beaver place. Both
of the holes were put to the bad in
mudding off the 1,430 feet sand gas
production and badly caytng holes
have greatly handicapped the con-
tractors. A state official worked on
the Beaver well some in getting the
gas shut off and a b~radenhead which
had been put in before was torn
loose. They will have considerable
difficulty until they set the smaller
easing down in keeping the hole
cleaned out and drilling.
The Spencer OIL COmpauy's wen on
the Beaver place, southwest 32-29-le,
ma OCcn making but SOW progress in
the past few days and has not as yet
reached the 2, 200-foOt sand. This will
be the first real test Of the eXpansc of
the field that has been made since
the Albert well was brought in.
The Frisco Railroad company Is
putting in an extr1 side track at Peck
ham to handle the unloading of sup
plies for the oil field.
A company of men is being Orga-
nized in Blackwell with intention OF
drilling the Alexander well northwest
2G-23-lW on down to the Blackwell
sand An estimate Of the amount of
cost has been made by drilling con-
tractor II. l.. RiChey and the money
for putting the hole on down Will be
raised entirely from local capital. This
well is $500 feet down at the present
fine and when drilling was stopped,
there was a slight showing of oil.
The Alexander well was drilled
$500 feet by the Duluth-Oklahoma
Oil company and the Blackwell Oil
4 Gas Co. It was one Of the
holes drilled by the Duluth concern
for which they we're to get a certain
amount of the acreage the Blackwell
company had i'm the field. According
TO the contract, the hole was to be
drilled only to the 2,800-foot level, so
when that depth was reached the Du-
luth company ceased operations, The
easing, all of IT, however, has not
been pulled, for it was the Intention
Of the Blackwell company to eyentu-
ally drill the well on down to the 1878
production or at least to the sand.
The Alexander location is four miles
south and three and One-halt miles
