The Utah Oil & Refining Company
has decided to complete its well on
the NWA 6-25-87 in order % be-
come a beneficiary on initial pro-rat-
ing of gas from wells now developed.
Work will probably start in the neal
future.
Announcement is promised The
Republican in the near future of sew
eral semi-offset wells to be drilled on
MahOney Dome. Considerable actiy-
lty is anticipated mex year due to
the completion of the big gas line
and its policy of taking a share of
gas production from each gas we'll.
Lost Soldier Field.
Quite an active if not a real lively
condition is being taken on at the
Bair Oil Company camp these days.
The old pipe line is being buried five
feet under owe and about three
thousand barrels per day is being run
through it to the Fort Steele loading
racks. The Utah Oil & Refining Co.
recently contracted for the entire
product of the company at $1.6O per
barrel for a period up to September
/. 1922. This is ten cents above the
posted price for Salt Creek crude,
proving the higher intrinsic value of

Wertz well No. 2 on 1868 re-
! ceived a car of 5 3/16 inch casing last
Monday which will enable it to COM
plete that well. While drilling at or
near the productive stands at about
$500 feet 1t was fOund necessary to
run another string of casing. A
heavy oil producer is looked for, but
IL 1t should only equal No. l produc-
ton of 40 million fee of gas carrying
five pints of gasoline and over two
hundred barrels of high grade oil per
day. 1t will still be worth while. The
9O-mile gas line to Casper starts at
this well.
Lester c. Seawell, drilling on the
SWA 4-26-9O at 1904 feet and car
rying ten inch casing reports the best
Oil showing he has yet had. Another
few hundred feet Is thought will
reach production.
Well No. AZ on SWA 3-26-9O, be-
ing drilled by the Bair Oil Co., is
still fishing. Its well No. 33 is flow
ing constantly, making good produc-
ton, but not yet metered. All but
three or four Of its forty odd wells
are on the pump or flowing-several
flowing by heads. The remaining
wells are being swabbed and pre-
pared for enlarged production to
meet the demands of the Utah Oil &
Refining Co. The Wyo-1ll we'll

The Ohio Oil Company on 2-24-87
have resumed drilling at 334O with
a good hole after months of trouble
resulting from a gas blowout and fire
which resulted in loss of rig and the
severe burning of. three employees
some weeks ago. Following the fire
a string of tools were lost in the
hole an dcasing troubles followed in
rapid succession. A deep test at this
location will be made. The structure
was worked out by DR.. BONNIE. CON
sulting g%eologist with the Pennsyl-
vania State College and Others
worked out this, one of the largest
and most promising structures in the
Rawlins section. The camp is JUS.
2S miles north of this city. The pres.
ent gas flow Is estimated at two mil
lions daily.
The Dutch-Shell "Matidoor" has
completed its 500 foot assessment
we'll on 5-26-86 due east Of the Ohio
and is awaiting Ohio results before
further work on its lease of several
sections. Attorney N. r. Greenfield
and associates Of Rawlins and Wash
ington, D. c., have the original leases
on most Of the structure.
Maurice H. Armstrong has recent
ly returned from New York where he
consulted with his associates there
relative to their 1922 drilling cam
paign. Judging from partial admis-
sions and the most amiable DISPOSE
ton Of the gentleman upon his re-
turn, he has either been allotted a
splendid appropriation for develop
ment purposes on their O'Brien
Springs holdings or his best girl has
said yes. In either event he is to be
congratulated. Mr.. Armstrong;
company has a model camp, wonder
full water supply, standard rig and
tools and n of the best of locations
for production in the minds of many.
Several parties are negotiating with
him for q drilling contract. Camp is
located on 35-25-88.
