Duncan Development Interesting.

Tulsa World: The Duncan dc
velopment is, in 4 general way
more interesting than any othe
particular spot in Oklahoma. 1t
possibilities Of expansion are loom
ing up more and more each day
The field is being played for an ex
tenslve one and right now it stand
a mighty good chance of GOVERNS
more territory than any other one
pool in the state
There are four points to be taker
into consideration. First, there j!
the Magnolia we'll in the northeast
corner of the southwest of p ls9w
This well is still making lSO bar
rels daily 1t is pumped during day
light and is allowed to fill at night
Second, there is the Fort Ring
well 30 lsSw, which is three miles
southeast of the Magnolia well. The
Fort Ring well is now generally
thought to be fully as good as the
Magnolia well. The water is still
causing serious trouble and a string
of ) $40 casing will be run with a
packer on top Of the sand and one
on the bottom of the sand in an
effort to shut it OFF The pipe was
to have been shipped from Heald-
ton and should be at the well by
this time.
Third, there is the Wichita De
velopment Company well in 33 2s-
low which is looking better every
day. This well has been put on the
pump but has never been given a
fair test because the sand is gum
med up with mud. In spite OF the
fact that it is in a bad shape, the
well has pumped as high as Is bar
rels in one day. The Nc Man peo-
pie who purchased the we'll and the
acreage have No. 2 on top of the
sand which offsets No. to the
south and preparations are now
being made to drill in with cable
tools. No. 2 will be handled in the
right shape and an idea of what
kind OF a well No. might be will
be judged from it. 1t is not known
just how much sand the first well
found but it is thought that three
sands were found with breaks in be-
tween. The second well will be
drilled in Thursday if everything
goes per schedule. These two wells
are six miles west and three miles
south OF the Magnolia well in %
lsow.
Fourth. the gas production in Is
low on Reyes and Douglas & Skel-
ton is to be taken into considera-
tion. This point will be taken as a
whole in spite of its immensity. The !
gas wells have done a lot toward /
the practical oil men
that there is a real pool in that
section Of the country. When the
Magnolia well first touched the
sand, the question asked by oil men
was, as il freak or a genuine oil
well Z? The answer was that it was
a genuine oil well, because (a) the
sand is apparently the same as
found in other tests previously
1rilled in that country and there
ore must be regular; (b) there is
! very pronounced structure and
,ood old creekology, and (c), they
lave the gas over west.
Taken as a whole, the immensity
nay be realized. From y lsl0w to
v ls8w II is eight miles. This rep
esents the present east and west
prospective proven area. From p
s9w TO 3-2s-l0w is three miles and
his represents the prospective prov
n north and south area.
The pool is being played south
D the Magnolia well as far south
s the Grubstake well in % 2sow.
Thich is shut down at about 1850 {
eet. 1t is rumored that the Mag
Ola Petroleum Company has pur- :
haSed the holdings of the Grub
AXE Oil Company with its well.
ne report is not verified but ap-
arently someone is taking over the
st to drill it deeper and the Mag
Ola is as likely 20 do it as any =
ther company in the field. The
innings well in 3s9w, south of the
rubstake many miles, found the
ind. so that is another argument =
favor of big field. &
Many wells are nearing the sand G
side the above mentioned as the =
ost important. The Humble Oil 2
cmpany is said TO have picked up O
bunch of gas at 1000 feet in the n
'r,hwest of IL lsl0x. Harry c
arker is cementing the S-inch cas- b
G on top of the sand on the Zip C
