The oil situation is practically un-
changed in the Tucumcari field as
the MCGEE well is under roaming
and it is not known just how long
it will take to reach bottom with
the six inch casing. The formation
is extra hard and it was thought
best to play safe before penetrating
this cap as there was a slight seep-
age of water from the $500 foot
depth. The MCGEE well has had a
showing of oil at several depths the
best of which was the 200 foot strike
when some gas and oil was eneoun-
tered.
The report from Endee that they
were on the sand was true and the
depth was about $500 feet but there
was no oil in the sand.
Endee is not disheartened as the
operators say there may be oil fur
Their down.
Dripping Springs is under ream-
ing to case off more water. There
was a showing of oil in the shaie
at 4S0 feet but not enough to put
in the log of the well. The other
showing made last week is said to
have been from the joints of casing
as they came in contact with wa
ter. This we'll is hardly deep enough
to expect anything of interest, but
the structure is pronounced excel
lent and a strike is exepcted at a
shallower depth than at the MCGEE
if a strike is made.
