Sands In the wells in the shallow dis
tr.ct run at an approximate thickness
OF 30 feet with the first pay ranging
around $50 feet and sands of lesser
thickness at deeper levels. During the
past few years, water troubles have
caused some difficulties to the operat
ors. which are presumed to have beer
resultant of old wells having been left
opcn and the oil sands getting waite,
logged. However, this water is fas
being eliminated and the operators re
port that at the present time the water
IS practically negligible due to resump
ton OF pumping In the wells chiefly fol
the purpose OF removing water.
No casing Is used in the wells witt
the exception of string sufficient tt
shut ont water at around 90 feet.
