II ia too early to figure what the

production was derived will ast long.
The sticking ability of h Mexia field,
as pointed out by exports. depends
upon the speed that is used in drilling.
which is necessary to remove what
Ia known as recoverable oil. Then
there arc other phases that must be
watched. namely the spacing of wells,
the decline of the gas pressure and the
encroachment of salt water, and the
porosity of the sand.
That the east side is not being
drilled very rapidly is due to the fact
that the Humphreys OIL company con-
trolls the bulk of the acreage. will give
that direction the best of 1t where the
life OF wells is concerned. II tho cast
