HAYNESvILLE OIL FIELD
GIVES GTEAT PROMISE

One Of the most promising oil fields
In the South. and certainly the best
protected Of the wealth producers OF
the section, is the Haynesville field IN
Claiborne parish. Both the Louisiana
Department Of Conservation and the
operat are trying to maintain this
high standard for the development Of
the oil pool-the department. through
Commissioner Alexander. by making
regulations as to operations and by ca.
forcing these operations, and the oper-
ators by reaching agreements among
themselves to prevent the wasteful
depletion Of the deposit.
"are were in operation at the last
repU.t 122 producing wells, with q
total production OF 60,o5S barrels Of oil
4 day, with eighteen additional idle
wells and two abandoned outfits. Fig.
ures compiled by the Conservation De-
partment February /. showed the fol.
lowing: Pumring wells, 81; with
production of 12,703 barrels daily;
flowing wells, 81; production $3.50
barrels; swabbing wells, 4; produc-
ton, 1860. The amount Of water
flowing out with the oil is but a little
over 1000 barrels daily, or an average
Of 10 barrels per well--less than 1 per
cent Of the flow. This Keeping out Of
water shows the unusual care that has
been taken in the operation OF the
wells, and the entire water flow has
been confined to the southern border
Of the field. OF the 122 producing
wells only one is making all water,
and its capacity Is but $50 barrels
daily.
The proven oil field Of the Haynes
vile deposit covers $3.50 acres only,
and there are yet to be drilled in this
territory over 400 wells. The wells yet
to be drilled will be on the higher por.
tons of the structure an dtheir pro
duction will, therefore, average high.
Nence the prospect is very rosy, and
the future Of the field is regarded BY
biologists and engineers az assured.
