other pools, that one hardly knows
where TO start. This county, as re-
ported elsewhere, ehas the honor for
having the lazgest producers in the
state. Up until the year OF 1929, its
Gushing pool held the record. but
the Bristow country developed a
well even larger than the biggest at
Gushing, and II is now a question IL
even larger ones than any cannot
be looked for within the boundary
lines OF this prolific area.
During the past two years II has
been showing many gushers from
the butcher sand, with the largest
developed in the Bristow country,
and here several wells OF magnitude
we're found. The wells below 5000
barrels have been fairly numerous,
and for that reason no attempt will
he made TO list them here, but Just
those that have been out OF the
ordinary. Before the striking OF
tho Roland gusher at Bristow, the
largest well that was found in re-
cent years belonged to the Phillips
Petroleum company, in the eastern
Bristcw district In the northeast of
21-15-10. This well had an initial
production OF 5000 barrels, and a
week after It's completion It was
making 4,440 barrels, and then
started to decline. This was but a
250-barrel well, but was increased
by a shot. Up until this time It was
tho largest butcher sand we'll ever
struck in the state.
In the various other portions OF
Creek county numerous wells com
ing in for better than 2,500 barrels
have been fairly numerous. but the
lack OF space makes 1t impossible 20
give all. This county will In all
likelihood never be passed, as far aA
production is concerned, even by the
Usage, which has been one OF Okla
homa's best producing localities, II
may be possible that some large
wells will be developed outside OF
Creek county, in the development to
come, but as far as the history OF
Oklahoma's oil Is today, Creek
county leads all tho rest in the pre-
ducing of enormous wells.
Was Leader for Several Years
Up until tho time of the compile
tion of the Fixico we'll at Cushing
another county, outside OF Creek
held the record for production OF
the largest well OF the state. 1t was
the Cleveland district in Pawnee
county. A well came in during June
1912, which had an initial flow ct
$50 barrels hourly. 1t was the

on the williams farm in the north
east OF 30-21-s. This was the larg-
est producing we'll ever completed
in the state up to that time and II
was thought 1t would hold that rec
ord for a while, but on September
Of the same year the Mllliken or
company finished an initial test on
the Frazee farm In the northwest
OF 2e-31-5, which had an initial pro-
ducton which was reported to be
! 10000 barrels daily.
This became the leading producer
/ OF Oklahoma and held that position
until the completion OF the Fixicc
we'll at Cushing, which made but 9
| few hundred barrels more. The
Frazee well, however, did not prove
as good as the williams, as II
showed considerable water and did
| not produce oil in as large quanti-
| lies as the williams after a few
weeks duration. The Frazee well
struck the sand at Asia feet and
was drilled 20 feet in tho pay, and
oil was selling for 10 cents per bar
rel. Wells ranging around 1,00c
barrels daily were found IN many
| portions OF thie county. Tho first
! large well drilled was in 1904, July
! ., when Schell. Wheeler & Laugh.
! lin struck a. 1,000-barrel we'll al
| 1855 feet in the northwest quarter
OF 17-21-S.
