At the present time he owns .11O0
acres southeast Of the Hewitt field,
where there are now three Wild
cats drilling, and has production east
Of Healdton, and holds acreage in
eastern Texas where he is now drill
ing some wells.
Ralph Ramsey, who is associated
with his father, has met with great
success in the oil game. He is a
graduate of the geological depart
ment Of the University Of Oklahoma,
and has since that time made geo.
logical surveys. ETC., for many Of the
larger companies. His judgment is
regarded very highly and his services
are always in demand. He is an as

What may prove to revolutionize
the drilling of oil wells, may be the
outcome of an invention which Ralph
Ramsey has recently patented. 1t is
Il combination rotary and standard
drilling apparatus, which contains 81
points of Improvement over the old
tools. The chief benefits from the
invention will be reduction in cost of
drilling and faster operation. 1t is
estimated that the cost of drilling with
this new machine will be reduced one
third. Most of the big companies are
now investigating Mr.. Ramseys in

is fine plan and will prove feasible.

Hewitt Discovery Well Has
Produced $4,000 Barrels of Oil

The first discovery of oil in paying
quantititY in southern Oklahoma, was
made In 1918. by the Red River OIL
and Gas Company. in section s, 4s-3w.
With the bringing in of this we'll, the
Healdton field was opened. The oil
sand was found at a depth Of from
100 to 1900 feet, the wells being
large when flush, and the oil produce
cd being of a gravity of from % to 80
degrees. The Healdton field Is locat-
ed about thirty miles west of Ard
more. AZ one time, the Heaidton
field had a potential production OF a
hundred thousand barrels per day.
Today II Is producing about $4,000
barrels daily.
In 1916 and 1917, an extension Of
this field was being developed to
the southeast. The Texas Company
leased about seven hundred acres OF
land In 4s-2w. The larger part OF
this land Is located In sections 21,
q and 2S. located n mile and one.
half north Of the then discontinued
postoffico OF Hewitt and twenty miles
west of Ardmorc.
In January, 1919. the Texas Com
pany made Il location In the northwest
corner of section q on the Denny
farm for their well No. /. Drilling
was commenced in February. and
on June LIST, oil was discovered at
2o72 feet. Drilling continued TO June
9Th. at which time tho we'll had
Aha1 ~ OHM nj
flowing at the rate of 400 barrels
per day of SO to SO degree gravity oil.
This we'll was the discovery we'll
OF the field, and marked the opening
OF the Hewitt area.
This well has produced $4,000 bar
rels Of oil and Is still producing at
the rate of 45 barrels per day.
Immediately after the discovery
we'll was brought In. scramble for
leases In the vicinity followed This
resulted in an extensive drilling cam
paign. which has continued to the
present time.
The developed area now covers
about fifteen hundred acres. Three
hundred producing wells have been
completed and there arc 100 drilling
wells and rigs up In the pool. Tho
daily production is now $4,000 bar
rcls.
The exterior limits of the producing
area have not been defined. Dry
holes have been drilled to tho south,

opmcnt. Il is doubtful whether any
Of these dry holes were drilled 10 a
sufficient depth. OIL Is now being

A business partnership between
father and son. such as the assoca-
tion OF G. A. Ramsey and Ralph
Ramsey, oil land men OF Ardmorc,
is perhaps the most ideal of CONNER
cial firms. Fifteen years ago G. A.
Ramsey came to Ardmore from Mis-
souri,, and established himself here
in the real estate and farm loan busi-
ness, with oil dealings as a side line.
However, ii was not much later before
his oil business increased and he COM
menced the promotion Of large enter
prises.
1t is interesting to note that prior
to the discovery of the Healdton
field, Mr.. Ramsey promoted the drill
ing of well in section 26, 4s-2w, In
the vicinity of the present Hewitt
field. This well was drilled to n
depth of 1850 feet and abandoned. Had
the well been drilled 400 feet deeper
the Hewitt field would have been
opened prior TO the opening of the
Healdton field. and would have mark
ed the find of oil in southern Okla
homa. Today that property on which
this we'll was drilled is valued at
twenty million dollars. At the time
of the drilling Of this well. Mr.. Ram
sey and has associates had many
acres under lease, which they re-
leased, believing that the oil was not
there.
