Prairie to Enter
Amerada District
With 4-Inch Line

The Prairie Pipe Line company start
ed operations this morning on the lay.
ing Of a 4inch line from its Hewitt
station to the new Amerada field in
the Brock district, which will be
rushed to completion. Entry Of the
Prairie people into the new pool indl-
Gates the positive presence OF a pro
life area, and should remove all skep-
tcism which may have existed in the
minds OF many who failed to be con.
vinced by The results obtained thus
far.
The Prairie company is regarded by
the members of the local fraternity
as one of the most valuable assets
which Carter county boasts Of in con.
nection with the petroleum industry.
Under the direction of r. V. Barr, dis
trict foreman in charge of the local
office, the Prairie people have grown
TO be the largest transportms of crude
out Of the Hewitt pool, and indications
are that the company will continue its
growth and gain in popularity among
the Carter county producers. 1t will
be remembered in connection with
Ardmore's civic welfare that during
the water crisis some time ago the
Prairie people without hesitation re-
lieved the situation by furnishing a
crew and pipe TO lay lines to new
sources of supply.

Deep Sea Methods
to Measure Wells

The principles employed in measur
ing deep sea levels, are being used
in a new apparatus recently invented
by Erie p. Halliburton, Of Duncan
in measuring the lineal depths to
which cement in wells has been pump
ed. Mr.. Halliburton is well.known in
this city, having cemented most OF
the wells in the local fields. included
among which were some very difficult
jobs which required exceptional skill
to successfully comNetc. lncidentl-
ly, Mr.. Halliburton is the only con.
tractor operating in the fields of the
southwest with his work solely con-
fined TO cementng.
The new device which he is now
using consists OF a piano wire which
measures its length as 1t goes down
into the hole by means of a registering
device consisting of a revolution coun.
ter attached to sheave one foot in
circumference. Use Of the new device
has many advantages over the meas
uring line in common use. as il has
no trouble with kinks, etc, and also
permits measuring with ease to depths
Of more than 1000 feet. inasmuch as
the mud solution is reduced TO a great
extent as compared with the tape
measu Mr.. Halliburton believes
that with the use Of the piano wire,
depth Of four times greater than
that which can possibly be reached
with the tape can be measured due
TO the lack Of friction and minimiz'
ing of other impediments. In his
opinion. a hole 10000 feet deep could
be accurately measured with his new
invention. A 13.pound weight Is used
on the bottom Of the wire.
The new method. states Mr.. Halli'
burton. has as one OF its biggest
features accuracy OF measurement.
Old methods by use Of the tape line
are not accurate inasmuch as they
stretch after being used several times
The piano wire. on the other hand,
even though Il may stretch, neverthe'
less is always accurate due 20 the
method In which it is let down into
the hole.
In comparing ms apparatus WIN
that used at sea, Mr.. Halliburton
states that the ocean water levels are
measured by use OF piano wire to
which is attached a 50.pound weight,
which permits dropping the line TO
depths of six miles.
Mr. Halliburton is now planning the
/ installation OF sounding device on
his we'll measuring line which will in
dicate when Il strikes the bottom.
This device is also planned on prln'
ciples used In ocean traffic. and con.
sists Of a piece of tin which resounds
through the pipe when struck at the
bottom Of the hole lie states that
the principle is similar 10 that prev
aelnt when an underground pipe Is
tapped. and the sound can be heard
for a great distance.
Mr.. Halliburton has spent stretches
at sea as u marine engineer for q
period Of six years. and Il wos while
thus employed that he gained general
knowledge OF the ideas which he j.
now employing in his cementlng bus
mess.
