Three Wells for chIekasha.
Work is progressing rapidly on
the Chamber OF Commerce syndi-
cate here for three wells TO be
drilled In the immediate territory
surrounding Chickasha. RF.Thweatt
chairman OF the Chambers commit
tee, stated this morning that from
indication. the $4,000 required by
J. u. Nichols OF the Iowa on and
Refining company. TO guarantee
tests. would be raised in the next
few days. The major part OF tho
REQUIRED amount has already. been
raised. Mr.. Thweatt stated.
The first test. In which the syn
dicate Will participate, is that on
which the Iowa OIL and Refining
company is now drilling on the
Beauchamp farm, three and half
ni'les east of the city in section
3l-7n-6w. This test Is now drilled
to depth of around 2,20O feet and
woik Is progressing daily. Below
1000 the formations have shown
tiuch blue gumbo and shale, streak
ed with sand. AS yet, however,
nothing has been struck that would
create well If worked. The drill
err are progressing slowly and are
making double hole in their search
for pay sand. Counting the diff
ference In surface elevation, they
are now about the depth at which
the pay sand in the Harness we'll,
Ii miles south of Chickasha, was
struck and they expect to pick up
showing in this sand. II no we'll
is made at near the present level!.
drilling will continue to depth OF
1000 feet.
Next In Harness Area.
The next we'll to be drilled by
the local syndicate, will be an off.
sci to the Harness we'll in section
l5-5n-7w, and is considered as sure
bet as the oil industry furnishes.
owing to the fact that the Harness
well is producer With the Har.
ness log as q guide, the drillers
are expected to complete the test
in good shape, with good we'll
resulting.
The third proposed well is to be
drilled at point, yet to be definite
ly located, but which is described
Is south and a little west of the
Beauchamp we'll This will place
it in territory between the Beau
champ and Harness wells All
three tests are to be drilled not
less than 5000 feet deep unless pay
wells are struck at lesser levels.
With the exception of the Alex
well, no test in the county has been
chilled 5000 feet deep. The Gladys
Belle reached nearly that depth,
according to report, but the majori-
ty of tests in the county have stop
ped at $500 feet.
