With eleven wells completed as
the biggest gas wells In the world,
depth considered. three more ce-
monted on the sand and. half doz
en- others drilling. the Chickasha
field Is making steady strides to-
ward one of the important Oklaho-
ma producing areas.
The most important developments
OF the past few days. from the stand
point of extension of the field. were
the bringing in OF the LeMaster ct
al. section 2i-5n-Sw and the Nelson
Brothers well, in section 36-5n-Sw.
These two wells, marking the north
and south points OF production, are
nearly two miles apart. Oil men
say these producers mean the al
most immediate drilling out of the
territory between the wells. AL
ready, timbers are on the ground
for two wells in this area. and more
contracts are being announced.
Eyes on Section IA.
While operators have been busy
drilling the close-in stuff, the Sun.
ray Oil corporation has been plug
ging away, more than three miles
south Of the field proper and have
cemented on what officers of the
company state will be the first oil
producing sand in the field. AS
result all eyes are turned to that
well as the possible answer to the
question regarding the location of
the first oil well. The depth is
around 1850.
Six miles north of this Sunray
well, is Marmett in section 19-5n-Sw,
cemented on the regular Nichlos
gas sand. From reliable reports,
both have what is believed to be
producing sands. Bringing out an
other feature decidedly favoring the
field from an operators standpoint,
the Marmett well was drilled and
casing cemented in five days. Should
both these wells produce, the pro-
duction area would jump to three
times its present proportions.
A third well Nichlos No. 4, in
section 26-5n-Sw, has casing cement
ed. All three should be brought in
some time next week, with the Sun
ray well leading the trio.
Reports have reached Chickasha
that ]. J. Briscoe, drilling on the
]. M. Briscoe farm, section 36-3n-Sw,
has picked UP q sand said to show
oil and is cementing casing at
around LOO feet. This well is
south and west Of Rush Springs.
The plug should be drilled out for
test within the next ten days.
In the field proper, Powell Bris-
coe has announced location to
which timbers are being moved, in
the southwest Of the northwest OF
the southwest of section 25-5n-Sw.
This is one OF the wells promoted
by the Nelson and LeMaster pro-
ducers.
Several wildcats scattered be-
tween Chickasha and thea field
proper, are busy. Cant, Arrasmith
ct AL, on the Newell farm, in the
southwest of the southwest of sec
tion 27-6n-7w is drilling at around
1,450 feet.
Luginbyhl ct al, in the northeast
Of the southwest Of section 32-6n-7w,
are core-barrelling at around 1000
feet.
Tomorrow Nichlos 0. C D. Co..
will spud the 20. G. w. WELL" Bled-
soc farm in the southeast of the
southeast of section S-6n-7w. This
well is located about a mile and a
half south of Chickasha.
Arrasmith and McBee, Thomas
farm, in the southwest of the north
east of section 19-5n-7w, have start
ed drilling after failing to make a
gas well at around 1850 feet.
The Atlantic Oil company has made
a location in the northwest of the
east half of the northwest of the
northwest of section 25-5n-Sw. 1t is
understood that timbers and tools
will be moved there at once.
