LOOKS LIKE BIG
PRODUCTION

:: Three years have passed
:: since the first well was drilled
:: .at Healdton and during much
:: of that time a great drilling
:: activity has prevailed. How
:: ever, the wealth of the field is
{: still not known. This is made
:: evident by recent results in
:: sections 13 and II in the
(: southeast extension. Gunsburg
:: & Forman, drilling in the south
:: east of the southwest quarter
:: of section Ii 4-3 found a gas
{: sand at 700 feet, an oil sand
:: at something like 1000 feet,
:: another gas sand at 1,l57 feet
:: and yesterday the drill reached
:; a third gas sand at 1,230 feet.
:: With the formation penetrated
:: to a depth of ten feet the gas
:: production was estimated at
:: thirty million feet. The well
:: is also making about 250 bar
:: rels of oil. 1t is believed that
:: not all the oil is coming from
:: the upper sand, and it is prob
:: able that the last sand is max
:: ing oil as well as gas. Deeper
!: drilling will be done. One-half
:: mile to the east, in the south
:: west corner of 13-4-3, the Pro

:: top of the sand at 1880 feet.
:: At the last report the well had
