The Well Of the English Drilling
company on the Harness farm eleven
miles south OF Chickasha in section
15-jn.7w is today performing as per
the prediction OF the drillers. II Is
flowing at intervals OF about half
hour. according to reports issued to-
day by Badgett Brothers, the drilling
contractors who drilled the well.
According to tsis report, the well
started flowing about . o'clock last
night and has been continuing at
regular intervals since that time. The
flows are from five to 10 minutes
each. The first flow went more than
half way up the derrick while since
that time they show slightly less
than that when released.
II is estimated that the manner In
which the well is now flowing, will
put from 40 to 80 barrels of oil in
tankage day and II is pointed out
that on the pump, the we'll would
make twice and possibly three times
that amount. This morning. the 500
barrel tank had about five feet of
oil in 1t and in addition. tank
wagon had been hauling oil from the
well for several days. Add to this
the amount of oil that has been
wasted in swabbing and the flows
that have been released, and the
well is shown to have made several
hundred barrels of oil today.
The initial flow of the well was
made after a packer and tubing was
set yesterday evening" the flows com
ing through the two inch pipe. In adj
dition to the oil that the we'll is
making, a member of the firm Of
Badgett Brothers, drilling contractors
stated this morning that the well
was making enough gas between the
tubing and the eight inch to run a
boilernfsl9
The performance of the well this
morning is considered to be the most
encouraging news that has been forth
coming since the well was drilled in
and stands without question in the
class of commercial producers and
a good one at that. 1t is believed that
If the rig was standardized and the
we'll thoroughly cleaned, it would
make a pumper Of 100 barrels or
better 1t is expected that this will
be done.
That there will other tests
drilled in the district soon was the
prediction on the streets this morn
ing. Two or three deals are known
to be in the making and it was con-
sidered entirely probable that one of
these would be consumated today.
These propositions are of a purely
local nature, Chickasha men being
behind the projects.
In addition, an oil company OF
Wichita Falls, had q, representative
here Saturday working on plans to
start an offset well to the English
No. |. Whether or not this deal was
closed, was not known here today.
Local people are pointing oHt that
this activity means TINT the field
uncovered when the English No.
was drilled in, is to be developed
and that this further development
probably is due to start this morning
In the event one of the deals or
which work is being done today i.
successfully consumated. it is en-
tirely probable that rig timbers viii
be moved out and the building +"
the derrick started this week.
