Petrolia (Canadian) ---------------
The most interesting feature IN all
the southern portion of the state 10
the members of the oil fraternity is the
Cotton county situation. What is known
o.. Keves well No. 8, located In the
southeast corner of 81 1sl0w, had
slight production of gas at something
liks 225O feet where the other weiis
found the big gas sand. This well was
drilled to about 2400 feet, where an OH
sand was found. The oil SAND mas peeA
penetrated to a depth OF seven reet,
the production has the appearance OF
being from 25 to 30 barrels. the oil is
of q black grade. something IKE the
oil produced by the Dunlap sand FOUND
at 27oO feet in the HRldton field. The
gravity of black oil IS deceiving, but
n has the appearance of being about
20 TO 81 gravity. Being black oil does
mot necessarily mean that its gasoline
content is low. The Allen pool oil In
Pontotoc county is black, but 1t produc.
es from 10 to 20 per cent gasoline ana
n black oil in Louisiana is rich in gaso-
line properties. AS soon as the com
many is equipped to care for the pro-
duction deeper drilling will be done. In
this connection 1t is also interesting
to note that in Douglas x Skelton NO.
2. in section 29 of the same township.
the well is at about the same depth ana
has a showing of black oil. These are
the only oil sands found in Cotton couh-
ty area and they have the same regu-
larity that the gas sands have. and the
situation justifies the earnest consider
alton of the oil fraternity of the state.
There are three other wells in the same
area that are near the level OF the
sands, and each of these wells are i'm
portant in determining the extent ana
the regularity of the sands. Ihese
wells are the Keyes wells in sections %
and rs and the well or the Loyalty OIL
& Gas company in section 81. The two
former wells at the last report were
drilling at 2300 feet and the Loyalty
well at 2370 feet.
Carter Oil company No. i Tucker
farm in section 1928 in the Fox dis
trict entered an oil sand at 2O4S feet
and went out of the sand at 2lOS.
These are the steel line measurements
on the we'll Four bailers of oil were
bailed from the hole in seven hours,
which indicates that it is about the
same as being dry. The company is
drilling deeper and at the last report
the drill was at 2225 feet.
Czarina Oil company No. 3, on the
Czarina Homer farm in section 3O-3-3
in the northwest extension to Heald-
ton, is running the six-inch casing at
1850 feet. The well has lost under
reamer lug.
Magnolia Petroleum company, on the
Woodruff farm in section 1898, off |
setting Czarina No. 2, has been COM
pleted and the well looks good for 250
barrels.
Kirk Oil & Gas company. in the Gra-
ham district, which has one well to
1,000-foot sand and another to $50
foot sand on the Bennett farm in sec
ton 81 2s2w, is making preparations
to drill a series of other wells in the |
same community. j. +. Bristow, who
has charge of the Kirk company, is
in the fields today with r. Hemingway,
of New York, and w. p. Utermohler
of Kansas City 1t is probable that
capital which these men represent will
become interested in this area.
Carter Oil company. in section 26
4s12w, near Randlett, has reached
depth of 1895 feet and is shut down for
rig repairs. The formation at this
depth is a sandy shale, and the COM
pany will make a deep test if neces-
sary. The Randlett well is across the
ducing area. and the drilling results are
being watched with much interest.
Snowden Bros. who are operating at
Healdton under the name Of the Law
renee Gas company. and have opera |
tions going on in all the prominent |
fields of Oklahoma and Kansas are max |
ing preparations TO enter Mexico. The |
company has a large acreage there in
the Tampico district. II has a rig up
and has shipped rotary tools from
Texas well will be drilled that will
offset one that is making $4,000 barrels.
Ardmore operators are taking an act
i've interest in the new well found at
Ranger I'm Eastland county, Texas. by
the T. a p Coal company. Jake l..
Hamon and Max Westheimer. who have
been successful at Healdton. have pur-
chased holdings i'm this promising new
field and will begin development work
at once w. X. Gordon. vice president
and general manager of the T. 4 =.
Coal company states that his company
win have fifty wells drilling as soon as
material and men can be had 70 do tho
work. Leases have sold there as high
as $500 an acre and royalty has sold
as high as $500 an acre The owners Of
the well claim that il win perhaps make
1000 barrels and the oil is OF high I
grade. Persons who have visited the /
well make an estimate that places the !
