320 Producing Wells

her field have total production or
$500 barrels daily. which at tho
present market price Of 81 a bar
rel for this nigh gravity oil Is
Sl275,000 month The produc-
tion Of the field has fallen In the
past three months from 10000 bar
rcls. This slump is due to the
spring drilling campaign being not
so much in the proved area as In
outside wells in search OF eXten-
sions and new areas. Many strings
of tools have been taken from the
proved territory This has been
done because the five-year leases
taken when oil was discovered here
in 1915 will begin to expire in the
next few months and the companies
are testing out their likely look
