Once again there is big news to re-
port from the new Bellevue oil field.
and once again the r. o. Roy Company
has scored. Sunday morning about ten
o'clock the Roy Company's Scanland
No. 2 blew iii unexpectedly. shooting
oil over the derrick and running wild
about three hours before 1t could be
harnessed by the crew that brought 1t
in. The flow Of the well is estimated
to he about 10000 barrels a day-some
say from 5000 to 10000 barrels. As
vet there is not sufficient tankage In
the new field to accomOdate the pro-
ducfion from any OF the wells, nor Is
there pipe line connection, 50 prOduc-
ton for the present must remain un-
established However. tanks are being
erected on a rather large scale by ut
least one OF the operating companies
and at the time this Is written Mon
day eyening) it Is rumored that the
Standard Company is now making pre-
partitions to lay a pipe line to the new
field, to tap one of its established pipe
lines at point near Princeton.
The Bellevue field has come to be
often referred to In print as the shall
lowest flowing oil field In the united
| States, and the new well is referred
to as a wonder. 1t is Of 4O5-fOot depth,
located in the northeast corner OF
southeast quarter of northeast quar-
ter Of section 15-1911--a quarter mile
east of the Roy, C0mpany's Scanland
No. /, which is a quarter mile south Of
the discovery well. So IN the north
east quarter of section 15-19-11 there
are at this time four producing wells
and three just across the line in section
10 lin the south half of southeast
/ qlarter) Across the line from this
group OF wells. in section ID, there Is
the Standard Company's Wyche No. l
1 lin the northwest corner Of northwest
quarter OF northwest quarter.
That's eight producers within half
mile radius, and number Of other
locations have been made with Oper-
ations under way). but it yet remains
to be demonstrated that this Is the
heart of the new field. We believe the
field will grow to the south SAY at
least one mile from the discovery well,
with small producers scattered here
and there TO each side, perhaps o mile
or more out from the larger wells.
| Thursday Of last week Vance Chan
dler and associates, who recently Sc
cured from Bliss 4 Weatherbee q drill
ing privilege on d 1O-acre tract In the
Bellevue field, I'm section 1O19-11
northeast quarter of southwest quar-.
ter OF southeast quarter) brought IN
an S00-barrel producer from the depth
of 352 feet. This well is something less
than quarter mile north OF the dis
covery well and is shallower by about
46 feet.
The Chandler well above reported
if our count Is correct-is the eighth II
the Bellevue field and Scanland No. :
the NINTH The locations of the sever
other producing wells as. given in las
weeks issue were correct, so fur as ",
now knew.
According to well founded and es
!. | tablished information. the nOrthwes
corner OF Webster Parish may be a ga.
field equaling In proportion the nov
famous Monroe field. Last Frida,
morning Giles No 2 blew In from th,
depth Of. 2695 feet making dry gas
: variously estimated at from TO- ,OOO, ,OO'
to 3O.OOO,0OO feet daily This is th
third big gasser in the field referre'
to and it's location is In section 34-23-I
: near Sarepta to the northwest an,
! just across Bodcau from BOssier Par
ish. According to report, the pro
nlOter will case off the gas and dril
deeper in the search for oil. TIL
: coming in of the big gasser has fe
e suited in .enlivening leasing near by i
