Action.

II is understood. according 20 reports
from northern Oklahoma, that the
government order stopping All unnec'
essary drilling in the Usage nation.
applies TO wells now drilling in man
ner which permits the operators to
continue drilling to the top OF the
sand and then they must shut down
and not drin in. Only necessary off
sets may penetrate the pay.
1t is also believed that The action Of
the department of the interior in re-
stricting operations VIII be extended 10
an lands over which the government
has supervision This will include the
famous Teapot Dome and other more
or less prominent government reser'
YES which are believed TO have a great
potentiaity Application of the order
to the Teapot Dome comes al a timely
moment, for according 10 unconfirmed
reports from Wyoming. a well drilled
in on the dome several DAYS ago IS
flowing production of 10000 barrels
daily. The shut down committee OF
the Mid Continent Oil and Gas asso-
citation has requested the government
authorities TO put the restriction or
der in effect there.
The most beneficial results Of the
erder will be obtained by the setting OF
the clamps on the Burbank field. In
this pool daily production during the
week ending last Wednesday increas-
ed more than 5000 barrels, rs com
pared with the preceding seven day per
iod The average daily production for
the week just closed was S2.294 bar
rels as compared with 76,491 barrels
for the preceding week During the
past week. the number of wells has
been increased from 637 to 653 and the
daily average do not include several
new competitions of the past few days.
There are few necessary offsets in the
Burbank district Burbank wells drop
rapidly in production and the shut
down should mark q noticeable decrease
in the yield Of the pool in a short
time.
Oil men throughout the midcontinent
field continue TO express deep satisfac.

and a. result their optimistic atti-

Following persistent efforts in the
Graham field. which covered a period
of five years, and during which the
Kirk oil company, headed by Or. j Il.
Bristow, went broke several times. Il
fine reward came in the form of the
uncovering of series OF prolific sands
in wells drilled 10y the company which
are yielding from 100 to coo barrels
initial production. The Bristow sand,
found at 2640 feet. and named in honor
of its discoverer, marked the start OF
extensive operations in the Graham dis
trict which promises to become one OF
the most productive pools in this sec.
ton of the state.
Six Sands
To date there have been found in
the pool four oil sands and TWO gas
sands. in addition to a 20foot sand be.
tween 1886 and 270 feet which is esti-
mated would yield three or four barrels.
AL 1890 feet a G0foot gas sand has
been found yielding 10000 900 cubic
feet. At 1855 feet a 20-foot gas sand mot
drilled through yields 10000, 900 cubic
feet. At 2lOO feet there is a S065 foot
oil sand mot drilled through yielding
200-5y0 barrels. AT 200 feet 6-l2 foot
