Review Of Hewitt Field

Walter Cant, who has returned from
New York, says that Eastern people
are expecting further advances in
crude oil this spring. He says that
the country is not producing amy
more oil than it produced two or
three years ago. but that twice as
much is being used now. He states
that Mexico is sending out more than
175,00O barrels a day although the
potential production Of that country
is said to be much higher Other
producers share with Mr. Cant in
this opinion and some Of them are
expecting Hewitt crude 10 reach So
barrel before the middle Of the
year. What is probably the greatest
producing lease in the Mid-Contlncut
area is the Shumway lease Of 100
acres in the state of Kansas. This
lease has already produced $4,000 bar
rcls to the acre and is now produc-
ing oil at the rate OF 500 barrels 4
day. While high prices are often
paid for oil leases yet it is difficult
to pay too much for good oil produc-
ing property. Counting oil at So a
barrel. the price at which it is sell
ing ut this time, the Shumway has
already produced $14iOOO worth Of
oil for every acre it contains. In the
Oklahoma fields the southern part
of the state will probably produce
more oil to the acre than any other
section. This part OF the state has
never had any sensational wells but
the fields in some instances have
thickness OF 300 feet and wells that
have been producing steadily for n
period Of five years are now making
as much as 500 barrels. And while
it takes longer to get the oil yet the
southern fields will in the end give
up more oil to the acre than any 9th
er part of oklahoma The Hewitt
this regard and the production is
holding up unusually well.
Carter Oil Company, on the Hefner
farm. drilled the first well only to
the first sand but this we'll averaged
more than 800 barrels a day the first
month and its production has not
declined since it was first drilled in.
The second we'll has been brought in
on this farm now with an initial pro
duction OF something like 1900 bar
rels a day These wells are located
on diagonally opposite sides Of the
tract, which indicates that the entire
farm Is in rich producing area and
there is no way to estimate how
much it will produce per acre. AS
a result OF this production r. A.
Hefner win be one Of the wealthiest
men in Oklahoma.
Ardmore people will pleasantly call
TO mind Henry Livingstone, who OPP
Grated in this part Of the state dur
ing the early days Of the Healdton
field. After drilling some dry holes
in this country he was more success
tul in the northern part Of the state
and in Kansas, where he was associ.
atel with Robert Watchorn. Mr..
Livingstone is now operating in Tex.
Us under the name Of the Mid-Conti-
ncnt Oil Company. This company
has just brought in a well about Z
miles north Of Eastland that is max
Ing 900 barrels from a sand found
at something like 1,SOO feet. which
IS called the shallow sands of that
country.
