Several competitions have been an
nounced in the Stephens county
field, principal among them being the
Parker, the Gladstone and the Wich-
ita wells.
The Parker company, drilling in
29-1s-10w has been tested out and is
now on the pump, producing about
40 barrels daily.
The Gladstone in 29-1s-9w is not
as good as was first reported, ac-
cording to oil scouts returned from
the field today. 1t was first said to
be 500 barrel we'll Following this
report came one to the effect that
the we'll would produce around 200
1arrels The final report is that the
well at it's present rate will pump
not to exceed 35 to 40 barrels.
The two Wichita wells in 1925
low and 9-2s11Ow, respectively have
been put on the pump and are pro-
ducing 30 barrels each.
In 9O-ls1S the Ft Ring company
has set the pipe at about 2150 feet
and is due to go onto the pump to-
day While the well has oil in con.
siderable quantities, scouts refused
40 make an estimate on the amount
of production. It is thought to be
fairly a good we'll.
After considerable delay the Wau
Wau Ran is ready to drill into the
pay at about 215O feet Indications
are splendid for a good we'll
While the other wells are sparring
for production, the Magnolia in %
1s-9, the fields discovery well is
holding up at 1SO barrels a day. The
company's tanks are rapidly filling
with oil Six 250 barrel tanks are
full as we'll as two 100 barrel con-
tainers while there are 1000 bar
rels in the $4,000 barrel tank recent
ly completed.
Many of the rigs blown down in
the recent windstorm have not been
rebuilt, thus delaying a number of
outfits. With demands coming from
every part of the field on the same
day, the rig builders were swamped
and with a minimum supply of this
kind of labor available, the operators
are compelled to await their turns.
J. j. Hotaling, field superintend-
ent of the Unity Oil company was
here today, enroute to Alex where
he will take charge of the Unity well
drilling in 1865 Mr.. Hotaling
states that the company is going to
make a thorough test of their propo
sition if they have to go $500 feet
The well is complete to a depth OF
2510 feet, and reports state that the
last formations were good. The
Unity company has closed contracts
The well of the Unity on the Am
brister farm, six miles southeast o.
Chickasha has been standing idle
for several months, but Mr.. Hotal
ing states that operations are due
to start there again as soon as drill
ing on the Alex well is again unde
way This statement is verified b,
a letter received today from Arthu
Chapman, general .lanager of TIL
company who is now at the Kansa
City office.
At Cement, things are rockin
along about as usual. This field !
becoming known as the hard luc
district of the Oklahoma belt Th
Fortuna No. 2 is still fishing for
lost bit and part of a drill stem. A
one time they raised the lost too
1900 feet, one ly to have it brea
loose and tumble back to the bottol
of the hole.
The Gorton has installed a rotar
with which outfit they propose
start in at the SIS inch size an
drill on down to production dept
The heavy flow of gas encounters
at a little more than 22O feet is pa
