Good Well Completed.

Bayou-1911 companies have com

1t is No. s on the Stewart & Hawk
lease and is the farthest well north
in that section. 1t reached the sand
at $50 and was finished at 9S9 feet,
il had 1O3 feet of sand and has a
production of $40 barrels by actual
gauge. It is an Offset to well No. 4
on the Ideal lease in section 32-3-3
The Ideal reached the sand at S3'
and was drilled to a total depth OF
947. which gave it 10 feet of sand
and production less than the Bayou
1911 well. The dip of the sand to
the east and also the fact that the
deeper sand is better, although not
quite so thick, makes the well OF
interest to owners in that portion OF
the field.
