In the Two-Four Field

In the Two-Four Field
The "a field, as it is generally
called, which includes sections IS,
"a, % and IA. 2s4w, is the busiest
place in this part OF the state. There
are now 81 producing wells in these
sections as follows:
Gypsy Oil Company, 8; Bigheart
4 Mlroy 8; Douthitt & Melton z;
Bavou-l9ll, 3; Plains Oil & Gas
Company j. 77-Bar I; Magnolia /;
Skelly & Russell | f.; Southerland |.
The total daily production is easily
1000 barrels.
There are 10 rigs drilling, and new
wells are almost daily occurrence, so
that the list above may not include
all the production by the time this IS
in print. In fact, the Johnson and
Franklin test on the Jamerson tract
in section II is reported on sand
and drilling in today. Other wells
may have been completed and not
reported yet.
The Magnolia is spudding in on
the Sol Kimbrcl farm in the north
east corner OF the southwest quarter
of section 10 2s5w. This is the first
test in this section and it will be
interesting to note if the geologist's
dope, indicating a trend OF produc-
ton southeast and northwest from
the proven territory in sections Is
and "a. holds good. The Johnson
and Franklin test in section IA seems
to bear out the northwest theory,
and this Magnolia test will soon
prove or disprove the southeast
trend.

has a we'll in the Sims No. |, in sec
ton 13 2s4w. The well was drilling
at so feet at last report, with 70
