Base Line Reaches Sand in Section IS

The Duncan field seems to have
taken on greatly renewed activity, and
operations there are going on very
rapidly. Many gassers are changing
to oil. There are over q dozen wells
now on top Of the sand ready TO
drill in.
The Base Line Oil Company in the
west half of the east half of section
rs, 1s-9w, reached the top Of the sand
at q depth Of 1880 fet. The casing
in this well was set at 1863 feet. The
operators expect to drill in next
Monday. In the opinion of the OPP
orators, this sand is not the large
producing sand. however, 1t has shown
signs of n strong gas pressure and
an excellent showing Of oil. n they
intend TO find out just what it will
make before drilling for the big sand,
which is believed to be at about a
depth of 1000 feet. This well was
drilled in very rapid time-the casing
being set ten days after the well
was spudded in.
The Base Line people have made
n location for an offset to this well,
and they expect to spud in next week.
