Geoio0y WINS Again in
Opening OF New Gas Terri

POHCA CITY. May 6.--Geology
lg winning again FOR j.. w. Marlaud,
local oil magnatc. IN the opening Of
"A new gas and probable oil terri.
! tory nine miles straight west OF
! rOucn CITY where the Marland ge-
/ olOgyts have worked out an ox-
| tensiyS structure and the company
| has followed up with assembling a
/ big. block OF acreage for future
! drilling operations. The initial test
| ia being drilled by the Marland
| on compcuy, Spencer OH company
and others in the southwest OF i3-
2-lw which Is one and a half miles
west OF tho old town OF Autwino
! formerly NirginiaD and n mile
west of the Chikashia river at that
point
Two gas sands have been en-
countcrcd thus far In drilling this
wildcat test. The first was for
about five million cubic feet at 6aj
to 7O3 feet ana the second for l5,-
| 100000 cubic feet at 73j- TO 7iG
feet. 1t is Understood that the Mar
| land company Will begin other ope-
rations on their acreage In that
| territory IN the near future.
IL Is known that the Marland
| company Will begin other opera
/ tiOns on their acreage In that terri
| tory in the near future.
1t IN known that the Marland com.
| pany officials believe that IN the
/ Autwino district another field. per
| haps equal to the Bliss-TOnkHwa,
will be developed This has been
/ the opinion for several months OF
| since the official geological rcpor;
/ on that territory was turned In.
| That the sands In tho Autwinc test

| Tonkawa Is also considered encour-
aging for the new territory.
When Marland OIL company
brought In the discovery well in the
Bliss-Tonkawa on tho Smith school
land lease. in l6-2i-iw. last Au-
gust there were five gas sands en-
countered. and two OF these havo
already been found In the Autwine
test. The No. I school land In the
Bliss-Tonkawa came In for 1000
barrel OF oil natural and Is still
producing over 500 daily. The No.
came In during the past week FOR
1850 barrels. and the location FOR
the No. has Just been made at "a
point one location south OF No. 2,
Production Over 10000.
The production OF the Ponca city
or northern Oklahoma district Is
gradually on the increase and now
totals over 10000 barrels daily. This
includes the area within n radius Of
25 miles OF this city and takes IN
the western Usage or Hickman field
with 800 barrels daily production.
the Bliss-Tonkawa with 1900 bar
rels. and the production in the
Mervine, McMlchael, Dilworth-Peck-
ham, Chilocco and Deer creek pools.
when the Champlin test In the
Il. to- n
2,673 feet, the past week, II save
substantial indication that the $500.
foot producing sand OF that ,erritory
does not extend TO any considerable
distance south OF the original wells.
The Champlin test is In 1874 lw.
approximately n mile straight south
OF the Marland discovery we'll on
the Smith school land lease. The
sand was encountered by Champlin
at 2.670; water was encountered at
2,673 and at 1850 the hole con-
tained 1000 feet OF water. 1t was
, then decided to plug back to the
! 1000 foot sand which will make
about 5O-barrel daily producer
However the 2,600-foot sand might
be n producer TO the southwest in
: stead OF straight south. The Smith
school land lease No. 3, Just located
by Marland, may help In proving
this theory
Are believers In Rotary.
The Southwestern Petroleum peo-
pie are showing their faith In ro-
tary drilling by moving in their
second outfit OF this kind the past
week for their No. IL on the Muir
ray farm in 10-24-1w, in tho Bliss
Tonkawn pool. About sixty days
ago this company brought In the
first rotary outfit for the No. Q on
the same farm and this hole Is now
: drilling at about 1900 feet. With
= the exception OF a water shortage
at one time, the company claims It
l has got along satisfactorily In drill
ing this test All operators have
, been watching this experiment by
/. the Southwestern with much inter-
est as this is the only rotary being
used In all northern oklahoma at
the present time.
Whether or not 10 drill In between
$ locations In the old field at CARRIER,
Is TO 90 miles southwest OF the
Bliss-Tonkawa pool, is problem
that the operators there are now
trying to solve, and for this purpose
