IN THE CARRIER FIELD


CARRIER, Okla, Nov. 20.-The new
sand at 1908 feet cannot be a freak or
II would not hold up It's production
the way II does. The Empire Fuel 4
Gas company tapped this sand three
weeks ago on the Hotson farm, north
west 25.22.4 west. after missing the pay
| In the Hoy sand. and 1t started off at
24O barrels. At about six feet In the
sand It Is now producing natural 225
barrels OF the high grade crude daily.
II Is the most interesting feature at
present In the CARRIER shallow field.
Some of the wells drilling on TO this
new sand should reach II within the
next two weeks. A quarter OF mile
south Of this discovery on the same
farm the Empire Fuei & Gas company
Is drilling at l400 feet I'm No. 10. which
also missed production In the Hoy. or
| llO0.foot sand. a mile north the
Southwestern Petroleum company on
| the Dively farm has 1850 feet OF hole
enroute to the new sand. Three To-
cations east and one south the Sin
clair oil 4 Gas company Is moving in
tiVibers for No. 10 on the Hoy farm
and announce that 1t will be drilled
to the new sand Four other wells
are going for this sand within two
test.
Some new wells starting are drawing
unusual attention. The closest to pro-
duction Is the Ivanhoe Petroleum COM
pany No. / on the Messell farm in 30
22.3 west. II is an Enid company with
close-in acreage. 1t Is a mile closer
to production as mapped by Hager
than the Whitney well which got shall
low production.
The Oil State Petroleum company is
rigging up for a wildcat test northeast
OF CARRIER on the Barnes farm, north
west 1928 west AS 1t is a mile and
a half northwest of Bradens 4000-foot
dry hole 1t would condemn ii to most
OF the old.time oil men, but biologists
has convinced the company that the To-
cation on the Barnes farm is 100
feet higher on the structure and that
the chances are more than good to get
oil in the sands that Braden found dry
or water bearing.
The Enid Cooperative Oil company
has seated the 12 1-2inch to 70g feet
on the Bolts farm, northwest 31-24-3
west, six miles north Of CARRIER. This

The log of the we'll Shows it to be high
on the formation. 1t is in the trend
to the north and a little east Of the
shallow production south of town. 1t

structure. 1t is likely looking wild
cat.

of a well that had a showing Of oil at
1894 feet. 1t is two miles west and one
north of a we'll that had some gas
around 100 feet. A hundred dollars an
acre has been paid for acreage in this
neighborhood very recently. 1t all goes
TO show that somebody is playing a
hunch and putting up the cold kale.
The Kantexo Oil & Gas company is

northwest 9-21-3 west, close to the Am
Der gas well on the Cain farm, which

The sixty.six producing wells in the
shallow field are averaging over 45 bar
rels each daily Of high grade oil that
