BIGGEST GASSER
NEAR DURANT
co.'s LEASE
Hamon-Colcord Gas Well is Poduc-
ing 90 Million eFet Day, just
Across Section fro Climax Com

The bringing in of a big gasser by
the Hamon-Colcord people in the
Healdton field this week, which Is
in section l5-4-3 just across a section
from a one hundred acre lease of the
Climax Company OF this city. has
greatly enhanced the holdings OF the
Climax company. Also the Du-Ard
Company. composed of Durant and
Ardmore men, have leases still closer
to the big gasser which are also
greatly enhanced in value.
The Ardmorite of Thursday has
the following to say about the big
gasser:
"The Ham mon-Colcord we'll in
section 15-4-3 has been drilled
deeper and is making 90 mill
ion feet of gas. 1t is the big
gest gasser ever brought in in
the Healdton field, and is pos
sibly the biggest ever discovered
in the state. The we'll was
drilled 25 feet into the gas
sand. The tools weigh about 4
thousand pounds and the gas
pressure was so heavy that 1t
lifted this heavy weight to such
an extent that further drilling
was impossible"
When the Climax company was or
ganized, the one hundred acres to
the south of the proven field was
strictly wildcat" stuff. II was sew
eral miles from anything productive,
The wells of the Du-Ard company in
section 9-4-3. apparently marked a
soutn line OF the pool. Then thb
Eamon-Colcord people began to drill
for oil in section Is and abandoned
the hole, but afterwards resumed
work. and struck what is thought to
be one OF the largest gassers ever
struck anywhere, flowing 80 million
feet per day. This is one mile south
OF any other well and oil men think II
is the opening up OF another new
and greater pool The Climax leases
are directly in line with where the
big pool is believed to be. Holders
OF Climax stock are elated and are
holding out for premium on their
stock. Du-Ard stockholders here be-
lleye that the enhancement of value
of their stock is great.
