OIL OPERATORS ARE NOT
ALARMED OVER DESDEMONA
WELLS SALTWATER DAMAGE

DESDEMONA, Texas, Oct. 10.-Much
uneasiness has prevailed here during
the past two weeks over the report
that the Desdemona oil fields We're be
ing materially damaged by salt water
While there is considerable water I'm
the field and some sections are mate
rally damaged, a careful survey of the
field does not reveal such an alarming
condition as might have been expected
at first.
There are less than twenty wells in
the entire field that are showing for
salt water Though some Of these wells
are running 100 per cent water, others
are running as low as 20 per cent with
the wells affected striking an average
Of between Go and ~ per cent Of salt
water.
Though most of the water is found
on the townsite and adjoining leases it
is not confined to these sections. The
| Lewis well of Hamil and others, the
extreme northwestern we'll in the field,
is reported to be making salt water.
while some water has also appeared on
the Harrington lease of the Plains Oil
and Gas Company in the northeastern
part of the field. Scattered cases of
water are also reported in the northern
part Of the field.
Scattered throughout the entire field
there are a number Of wells that are
making nothing but water. Eight town
site wells are showing water, while
there is considerable water on the Pra-
ter Grice lease of the Texas Company.
Operators are taking great care to
control the water situation. 1t is being
cased off where possible and in most
cases where the water is coming from
the oil sand the wells are being plugged
and abandoned in an effort to check
any spread. In more than so per cent
of the wells affected the water is com
ing from the sand.
