The first definite move by a big
company toward activity In the dis.
trict around the Nlchlos well, has
been taken by the Magnolia in max.
ing a location and starting actual
work toward DEVELOPMENT in the
northwest Of the southeast OF section
26-5n.sw. the section In which the
Nichlos discovery well was drilled
in.
Tho exact location is 300 feet
south and 300 feet east of the center
OF the section.
Arrangements have been complet.
cd for the slush pit and rig timbers
were being moved to the location
this morning. Building of the rig
will start Immediately and tools will
be moved In at once. II will be a
cable tool test. indicating that a
hunt for the oil that is believed 10
be beneath the Nicblos gas sand, at
1871 feet, will be made. There is
some speculation as to whether the
Magnolia will stop in the first we'll
at the gas sand and get fuel for
other wells. or go with their first
hole TO the oil sand at a lower level
Will Force Offsets.
This step by the Magnolia will
force at least three offsets, two by
the Nichlos Oil and Drilling com.
pany and one by the Carter, in the
event the Magnolia test is a pro-
ducer. The Nichlos company will
be forced to drill II the southwest
of the southwest of the northeast
and the northeast of the northeast
of the southwest o, tion 26-5n-Sw,
while the Carter company will be
forced to drill in the southeast of
the southeast of the northwest of
section Zoos.
This Carter well will be in adj
dition to the west offset to the Mich
los discovery we'll in the northwest
of the northeast of the same section.
The Carter company has not an
nounced a location and has made
no statement, except that they will
drill. Just when and whore has not
been stated.
John B. Niehlos, owner OF the dis
covery WELL stated this morning
that he would be moving in a der
rick for his No. 2 well this week.
He did not state which of the Mag
nolia offsets he would drill first,
but indicated that his next well
would be one Of the offsets. While |
the Carter company is silent on the
subject, oil men do not believe they
will start the offset to the Magnolia !
until the verdict Of that well is
reached.
Sunray Completes Derrick.
South of the Nichlos well, in south.
east of the northwest of section
14.4n8w the Gunray company has
completed a derrick and will start
moving in tools, according to re-
ports.
This is an Oklahoma City and
Duncan company. 1t is drilling
we'll, two miles west of Rush Springs.
In this test they should be down
nearly 1900 feet. At around 600
feet, the Rush Springs test picked
up a sand which proved to be non
productive. Those associated with
the drilling of the we'll state, how
ever, that the formations have been
encouraging and that indications
are good.
Arrasmith ct al, on the Mutz farm |
section 1866, east of Ninnekah are |
plugging away to a completion OF
that test. When it is finished, which |
is expected within ten days, they |
will move their tools to their loca-
ton, some two miles east of the
Nichlos gasser.
The Oklahoma Natural is connect
ed with the Nichlos well and taking
the production.
