Top of the sand in this well was
found at about 1850 feet, and the oil
shot over the top of the l2foot der.
rick after the pay was penetrated 10
feet, squirting in a solid stream through
the 6 5-S-inch casing which had been
run to the top of the deep sand. 1t
then started to flow by heads The
sand was penetrated 90 feet, according
to latest report of the operators, ana
remained at that depth without deeper
drilling. Plans Of the operators are to
resume drilling this afternoon, wit. in
tention OF penetrating the sand TO q
total Of about 80 feet and then letting
it remain so while the production holGs
up. The production of the well appears
to be getting stronger with each flow
and there Is some belief that the well
Is drilling itself in deeper in the pay
During the drilling it was ar3arent
that the deeper the sand was penetrat.

case in the Humble-Gill 2 which orig

sand is described rs n porous brown
