ArdmOre Oil Men Extend
Appreciation to Amerada-
An Enterprising Concern

Continued success TO the Amerada
Petroleum company! We take this
opportunity TO express the appre
citation not only of ourselves, but OF
the oil fraternity in general. for the
gentlemanly and efficient manner in
which the Amerada Petroleum com
pany has conducted its operations in
the local areas and especially in the
Brock country. Always open and
above board. the Amerada people
have at all times given out for pub.
lie information all facts pertaining
to their development here, and have
acquainted those interested with
their progress. The Amerada CON-
pany is deserving OF all aid which
citizens Of Ardmore can give them,
for their actions have proved them
worthy Of greatest OF cooperation.
The men in the employ OF III,
Amerada company, from its head to
roustabout number one, are all Of
high class calibre, and men who
know their business. Personally they
are men of character who blend
perfectly with the high-class oil men
who are resident members of Ard.
more's fraternity.
The Amerada Petroleum company
is comparatively new concern
which has grown by leaps and
bounds, and which Is due TO become a
powerful factor in the petroleum
industry resultant Of its find in Car
ter county. II was first organized
in the fall OF 1919. Its first well
was completed in 1920. and at the
time OF the slump in crude, thu gross
production OF the company had
grown to 10000 barrels daily. Up 20
the present time the Amerada has
completed "a producing wells and IL
dry holes. and has II wells drilling.
The Amerada company was organ.
lied by u geologist, and its success
may be attributed to the policy OF
playing nothing but sound geology.
according to the officials Of the con.
cern.
Present daily production OF the
Amerada concern Is total Of ap.
proximately $500 barrels.

Noted Geologist States The
Amerada Structure Will
Be As Great As That
of Hewitt.

A check-up with the officials
Of the company in charge of the
Amerada test reveals that all facts
and figures thus far published in
the Daily Ardmoreite relative to its
operations have been correct TO
the letter.
Latest report on the test will
be found on page one.
Late last night the Amerada
Petroleum cOmpany's test on the
Baptiste farm, in the southwest
of the northeast quarter Of the
southeast quarter Of section 20
5s-1e, near Brock, was gassing.
and the hole was about half full
of oil of 34.2 degrees gravity, with
a high gasoline content as revealed
by test. The oil is of the Hewitt
grade and the sand is believed to
be the shallOwest containing the
oil yet found in the local areas.
The ten.inch casing was run
during last night TO shut out Is
feet of cayings, and Immediately
after the pipe was set the opera.
tors started to bail the hole, pre-
paratory to drilling in.
The location of the Amerada
test is in the center OF what is
known as the Crinerville anti
cline, which runs parallel to the
Griner Hills and which might
we'll be renamed the Amerada
anticline in view of the fact that
the block which the Amerada
,eople own on it totals NOR
than 5000 acres. in a tract which
is almost perfectly solid
The structure on which the
Amerada test was drilled was To-
Gated by Sidney Powers. chief
geologist with the Amerada, who
spent a number of years in
southern Oklahoma with the Tex
as company during the develop
ment of the Healdton field and lat
er was in the ranks of the United
States Geological survey. Since
the war he has been head of the
geological staff of the Amerada.
Mr.. Powers was the first of his
profession to determine the age
of the older formations in the
Healdton field which have pro-
duced high grade oil at depth
of 1900 feet, such as was found
in the Bull-head and Pure Oil com.
pany tests.
He predicts that the Amerada
structure will produce as much
oil as the Hewitt field, which was
discovered by his associate with
the Texas company, William j.
Millard.

struction OF a railroad and power

Coma, of Huntington, w. Va, who
recently returned from Fort Worth,
where he completed a deal whereby
he acquired a tract of $4,000 acres

been in this city during the past two
months, watching operations on the
Washita River Oil corporations test
in section 9-4s.4e, which is drilling
near Mannsville. He is a director
of the Washita corporation.
The tract Of land in the Mexican.
republic was secured by Mr.. COMA
following transactions which lasted
for year between the owner of the.
land and himself, he states. The
purchase price was 25 cents per acre.
The altitude of the land acquired
varies from valley levels 10 noun.

The tract is made up of river and
rolling land, foot hills and slopes
from the mountains which encroach
on the eastern and southern portion.
1t includes 10000 to $4,000 acres OF
cultivatable valley land.
The land has on it a magnificien,

most useful and valuable being dye

trees are of several different species,
trees attaining to dimensions of Z 10

The contemplated railroad is to be
built northwest and southeast run

will be to transport the ore from tn. |
