That the test OF the Quadrangle
Petroleum company on the Williams
farm in section 1918 is shut down
for the purpose OF testing out sand,
was the statement this morning Of
l.. d. Trutt, field superintendent of
the company.
They shut down yesterday after
noon at depth OF 2iS6 feet and
this morning were preparing to run
core barrel into the sand. The
cutting showed good sand, Mr..
Truitt stated. but no oil showings
were apparent in the cuttings. He
declared that II will take the run
ming OF the core barrel to determine
whether or not the sand Is produc-
tive. Mr.. Triitt was of the opinion
that as far as the present sand was
concerned, they would know shortly
diltII HOoH NHtlHti vi laOt IL ~ W
be a pay sand
"As soon as we know whether this
sand is oil bearing. we will be ready
to give out the information for the
public" said Mr.. Truitt. I'VE have
no secrets in connection with the
well. The public is entitled to the
correct information on the well and
that is what they will get from me.
We have nothing to sell and do not
want to buy any more acreage. II
we get an oil well, we'll get 1t. II
we don't wen get dry hole. That's
about all there is to It,"
Mr. Truitt stated that should the
present. sand prove non-productive,
they will continue drilling to depth
of $500 feet and that they will give
the formations careful tests all the
way down The cuttings will be
watched and washed out frequently.
Several Wells Drilling.
With oil having been discovered
at two points in Grady county and
with more than a half dozen Wild
cats drilling or ready to start here,
prospects for the development of an
oil or gas field here were never
brighter
The two points at which oil has
been discovered here are eleven
miles south of Chckasha, on the
Harness farm in section 15-5-7 and
about IA miles southeast of Chick
asha at the Knox Petroleum COM
pany's location on the Shook farm
in section 1853. The Harness WELL
while not large, flows and has put
nearly 1000 barrels oi oil in storage.
The Knox we'll Is also a small pro-
ducer.
Preparations to drill an offset to
the Harness we'll are being made and
oil men believe that with careful
handling good well will result.
Other locations at which wildcats
are drilling in Grady county are:
Three miles east of Chickasha. the
Iowa Oil and Refining company on
the Beauchamp farm in section 3l-5-
- ~
Of Chickasha on the McGarvin farm,
