OIL AND GAS WELLS
IN Medina COUNTY

The Central Ohio field for the flrst
month of the year shows quite a de-
increase in developement work, owing
to the inclement weather conditions,
as the ground is covered with heavy
snow and traffic has been heldup at
most all points outside the towns and
and cities in the field. The January
work shows a total of 73 wellsfin-
ished, of which So were oil wells with
new production of 1,753 barrels. ~
dryholes and 1S gas wells. This,
when compared with the December
figures, show decrease in completed
wells of 80, but an increase in new
production of 1853 barrels, from 13
less oil wells and there is decrease
in dry holes of IA and three less gas
wells. In the new work under way
at the close Of January, there were 48
rigs up and 104 wells drilling, against
! 49 rigs up and 125 drilling wells at
the close of December. This is de-
crease of one in rigs and Il in drill
ing wells, or net decrease of o..
This inactivity in starting new work
is due alone to the bad conditions of
the roads as the gas companies are do
ing everything possible to drill and
secure a sufficient amount of natural
gas to take care of the people using
gas for fuel and lighting purposes.
There is scarcity of gas, there is no
doubt that it SIS felt in all the cities
and towns that are using it, and in
nearly every instance manufacturing
plants are cut off from their supply,
sothe home users of fuel can be sup
piled first, and with that it getsrather
low at times and is more noticeable
this winter than for many years back.
The Coming summer and spring
should see an increased development
toward extending the shallow pay oil
sands that are supposed to exist
along the south shore of Lake Erie.
The Chatham pool in Medina county
has proven quite productive one and
others will be looked for. At this
time an effort is being made to find
similar wells in part of Ashland coun-
ty, but the wells fall far short of be-
ing as productive as the Chatham
wells, although the drill may yet de-
velope something just as rich. Harri-
sonville township also York and other
townships in Medina county are max
ing fairly goodshowings of shallow
oil. There is some talk of further
test work to be done in the vicinity of
Sandusky in Erie county where a few
months ago small oil well was drill
ed near the stone quarries. 1t hasjust
enough showing to encourage further
test work.
