Harness eliminating Water.
That the job Of plugging the bot
tom Of the hole and shutting off the |
water at the Harness well, eleven
miles south of Chickasha in section
15-5n-7w is the opinion of r. L
Hughes, one Of the owners of the
we'll.
A string Of standard tools have |
been used there for several weeks
on cleaning out and plugging the
bottom of the hole. Mr.. Hughes
stated that yesterday they mad ap-
parently been successful in shut
ting off the water. They bailed con-
siderable of the fluid out Of the /
hole and after waiting some time,
the water had apparently not risen
in the hole, Mr.. Hughes said.
In order to make the job doubly |
sure, however, they are today adj
ding to the plug quantity OF steel
cuttings mixed with chemical and
vinegar, which it is said, will serve
to cut and dissolve the cuttings, |
forming steel cap for the plug.
In case they are successful in /
shutting off the water, they will |
have some 10 to IL feet of open oil
sand, which it is believed will pro
duce enough oil to make the well
commercial proposition. In this
event, will open up tsrictly Wild
cat territory, force some offsets to
be drilled and increase activity in
the district, oil men who are watch
ing the progress Of the work point
out.
