Owners Making Full Runs.

Owners Making Full Runs.
Skelley & Sankey who have a lease
of twenty acres in the north part of
31-3-3 which is proving to be in very
prolific portion of the field, are ar
ranging to build three steel tanks of
55, ,000-barrel capacity. These people
have four wells on their lease and No.
which has just been drilled in is
making 1900 barrels and some of the
oil men who have seen it, estimate it
at 1900 barrels. This lease is running
oil now to the Carter Oil company and
it is being placed in storage. The Car
ter people, it seems have more ste =
age than is required to take care of
their own productions, and are making
one hundred per cent runs from Skel-
ley & Sankey, while the McMan-Mag-
nolia people who own offset wells are
making runs only Of sixty per cent of
their production. Just what will be
done in instances of this kind is
not known, but if royalty owners and
lease owners demand it, the state
will be forced to take hold of the field
and see that the runs are made the
same from all the leases in the field
Skelley & SankeN are to be con-
graduated upon their splendid buy
Their lease will make an enormous
amount of oil.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-05-18

The Carter Oil Company which owns
the Ward lease in section 6-4-3 which
it purchased from the Skelley & Rus.
sell has about drilled up its property
and is not very active at this time
The company has under construction
two steel tanks and is building grades
for two more. The company is pur.
chasing oil from the Skelley & Sanky
lease in 1888.

Made Important Location.

C. II. Clark, superintendent for the
McMan Oil Company, spent last night
in the city. He came in from the
fields to accompany J. A. Chapman,
president of the company here. Mr..
Chapman made a loca ton for the Nc
Man-Savoy companies in 1923 in the
Fox district and returned yesterday
to his home IN Tulsa.

Savoy Oil Co.

Among the recent visitors to the
field was C. Il. Strouvile of the Savoy
Oil Company. Mr.. Strouville purchased
the lease upon which his company and
the McMan Company in 1928 will drill
at once. This will be a very interest
ing well in the new district that gives
much promise at this time.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-05-18

The statement is made that the oil
from the Shelley & Sankey No. in
31-3-3 is little better than forty gravi-
ty, and if oil was selling here as it
sells in the northern portion of the
state, that production would be worth
$135 instead of soc.
