PECKHAM Okla, Sept 23--In the
different fields scattered over the
state of Oklahoma oil is produced Al
practically every depth ranging from
$500 feet on down to 3,40O feet. The
Blackwell field is the deepest oil pro-
ducing sand in oklahoma and IN the
mid-continent field.
The depth of the pay sand Is pos
sibly the biggest factor in determining
the expense of making tests and
largely determins the amount OF
activity In the various fields. OF
course the amount of production from
The sands also has great deal to do
with IT. The development in some
field Of the state including the Black
well-Peckham field has been some-
what costly because of great expenses
in getting through the deep sands but
in pools Ike this one where the
amount of production is great and
the chances apparently that the wells
will flow for a number of years opera
tors figure that putting $4,000 into
\ well Is paying proposition.
The development in the Gushing
ton owing to the depth at which the
Bartlesville sand, the big pay sand,
was encountered. On the other hand
In the Glenn pool the Bartesville was
?ound at the comparatively shallow
depth OF 100 feet and In the Nowata
district the drill had only TO pene-
trate 130 feet before picking up the
Bartlesville sand. The big wells how

There are something over one hum
dred different oil pools IN the state
of Oklahoma and in practically all of
these gas sands have been picked up
which produce gas in paying quanti-
ties. Also In all of them there has
been more than one sand although in
some cases the production from only
one has been large enough to be con-
sidered commercial proposition.
