The story of development in the
field southwest of Chickasha has
heen told and retold, the bringing in
of wells has been recorded and pro
duction noted, but there has been
nothing to date with reference to the
aggregate production.
Absolutely accurate information on
production a this time is impossible
as steady pumping tests or pipe line
runs have been impossible in the
field owing to the limited facilities
Of handling the oil. Information
gathered in the field yesterday from
owners of the wells, refinery men
and drillers, shows that the average
estimated production in the entire
field reaches a total or around 1900
barrels per day.
d as follows, the fig
ures Deing estimated from perform
ances the wells have made in flows
and pumping tests into limited tank
age: Fortuna, Gingrich farm 14O
barrels; Central Producers, Walker
farm, 14G barrels; Kechi, Davis farm
300 barrels; Fortuna, Niles farm $50
barrels; Caddo No, /, Rowe farm so
barrel Caddo No. 2, Rowe farm
25O barrels; Gladstone, Jones farm
so barrels; Hawkeye, Culp farm so
barrels; Foster No. /, Gingrich farm
(not q completed welD 60 barrels.
The above wells are all on the west
side of the field. On the east side
are, Gala Belle No. l, Surbeck farm
so barrels; Gladstone, Big Whip al
lotment $50 barrels
AS to Settled Production
AS to settled production, only one
or two wells in the field have reach
ed stage from which it is possible
to class them as settled They are
the Fortuna No. /, Gingrich farm
and the Gala Belle No /, Surbeck
farm.
These wells have been pumping
for months, their production having
in a large measure gone for fuel
for other wells in the field The
Fortuna is holding up splendidly,
doing an average of 140 to 15O bar
rels daily. The Gala Bellies pro
duction has always been somewhat
of a question. The well was drilled
in with a rotary, and oil men state,
was not properly handled 1t is
probably not making more than so
barrels day, average.
Figures Below Records
All the figures in the estimate of
the fields production, are below the
top records that have been made by
the various wells. The Kechi short
ly after it was brought in, made
record flow of 600 barrels in "a
hours, putting that amount in tank
age. The Caddo No. flowed $50
barrels in "a hours. The Fortuna
No. 2, Niles farm produced more
than 300 barrels in single day The
Hawkeye did better than 100 barrele
in day on several different occa-
sions and in it's initial state the Gala
Belle flowed at the rate of several
hundred barrels day
In addition to the oil producers,
the geld has several good gas wells
The Fortuna No. /, discovery welD
is making gas enough ITO run several
strings of tools; the Gorton No. l.
is furnishing the town Of Cement
with gas and Is furnishing fuel for
operating wells;Gathe Mckinney well.
surbeck farm is 6ticketed as a 15,-
600, 900 foot gasser; the Gorton No.
2, Dade warm, has from 1O,OSOO,OOO
to 100000 feet of gas and the
Betty G, Lackey farm, had flow of
around 100000 feet of gas, The
Hill well is also making several
million feet of gas. OF the millions
of feet being produced in the field
net a majority per cent is being util-
lied, however. Apparently it is th5
policy of the operators to mud Of
the gas flows, where possible ant
deepen the wells for oil.
