tapped in the unfinished Barnes
well, the discovery we'll of the Oil
State field, and thought to be the
same sand that the Carter people
reached in the famous Stine well at
2,300 feet, mile and a half north
OF proven shallow production.
The Hope of Deeper Pay.
The shallow oil at CARRIER tests
48 and 40 gravity. The deeper sand
at Billings and at the Oil State
tests AZ and A. gravity, The 1882
foot production from the one well
at this depth in the shallow field
tests "A gravity. On this and the
irregularity OF the shallow sands in
the red beds is based the argument
OF strong hope that the mother oil
is to be found deeper and OF lower
gravity.
The Garfield Oil Company, (Sin-
clair), No. y, on the Walker farm,
in the northwest corner, southeast
24-22-4 west, is underreaming D.
inch pipe at 2,050 feet. 1t is three
quarters OF mile west of the same
company's l932-foot producer. In
this sand it only had a show of oil.
1t also missed the ,50O-foot sand in
which two locations west Champlln
got a 50O-barrel we'll and a quarter
of a mile north the Healdton and
Oil State No. 2 started off at 600
barrels. A location west and two
north is where the Carter company
picked up 800 barrels OF production
at l727 feet. 1t is twin well to
the Hoy sand or l,l0O-foot produc-
ton.
II. H. Champlin also missed the

southwest 24-22-4 west, 1t is a
twin to No. | and is drilling at
300 feet. The Empire is drilling
in an offset to the south at l,1S3
feet.
Shallow Oil Delayed Field.
The finding Of shallow oil at l,lOO
feet has, without doubt, delayed the
opening up OF this district. During
the first nine months OF 1917 many
scattered wells were drilled to ! 200
and 1900 feet and abandoned. Since
the Oil State Petroleum Company
opened a new pool, by drilling to
2,023 feet on the Barnes farm, north
west 1928 west and since the nu-
merous deeper sands were found in
the proven area, all likely acreage
between the CARRIER and Billings
fields, which are IS miles apart,
are being prepared for deeper tess.
And in almost every direction from
the CARRIER field, especially to the
north and east, derricks are going
up. The high gravity shallow oil is
freak, although there is a nice
production of it.
The Cosden and Marland inter
ests on the X. Walker farm, south
east 1924 west. are building a
rig for No. 8 for Ponca sand well
Or deep test. 1t is an inside loca-
ton in the southeast corner. No
5 is drilling AT l.l6O feet. No. 9, is
at go feet. No. ! is rig

The Carter Oil Company on the
Diveley farm, northwest 24-22-4
west, is cleaning out No. II to drill

rial on the pump at l,50O feet and
lid ten barrels day, but it is only

No. Is is drilling at 1850 feet. The
-ig was lost over No. II during
the past week by fire while it was
shut down at 1889 feet. 1t was
burned at night when no one was
here. No. IS is a rig.
Showings in Every Sand.
The Aubyme Oil & Gas Company
No. on the LyndS farm. in the
southwest 7-22-3 west, is drilling at
$50 feet. 1t is showing oil in every
sand in the past 500 feet and all it
would seem to need to be a paying
