II indications point TO anything
definite. the first OF next week should
SEQ great strides completed In the
development OF the new Grady
county shallow gas field, where mon
ster gassers have been brought In ut
depths of around 1875 to 1900 feet.
Due for IN, sixth big gas producer.
the Nichlos No. 3, Farwell, in the
northeast OF the northeast OF the
southwest of section 265n Sw. Is
slated for completion SATURDAY
afternoon. This well is to bc drilled
in Friday and bailed Saturday. IL is
west offset 20 the recent Magnolia
gasser No /. That II will be another
big one is forecast from the fact that
the uniform Nichlos sand was picked
up, showing by tests to be OF tho
same high producing quality.
There are two other wells, being
perhaps the most important from the
standpoint OF tests, which should
reach the level of the Niehlos sand
by the time the Nichlos No 3 il
brought in. These are the LeMaster.
Muse ct al, Farwell farm in the
southwest, southwest, southwest OF
section 24-5n-Sw. and the Vaudeville
ct al, In the northeast Of the north
east of section 35-5n-Sw.
LeMaster has just eliminated n
slight fishing job and is drilling again
level below 1900. They are going
carefully. feeling" for the Nichlos
sand. A producer at this location
would extend the field north and east
more than a half-mile.
Vaudeville is also drilling below
the 1000 foot level. His well, IL a
producer, would extend the field
farther southeast than the LeMaster
we'll would northeast. He is also
feeling" for the sand.
There is another well north and
east of the proven gas area which is
proving exceedingly interesting and
at which verdict is scheduled, per-
haps early next week.
This is the test Of Arrasmlth, Nc
Bee, ct al, in the southeast Of the
northeast of section 19-5n-7w. At
1920 feet they picked up sand
more than a week ago. Casing Wa
set but not cemented. When they
started bailing, water broke in at the
bottom. On Thursday, October IL,
they set the casing in cement II is
expected that they will drill the
plug and test the sand Sunday or
Monday at the latest. There is no
word on this point direct from the
owners, however. A producer here
would extend the field more than
two miles northeast and would go q
long way toward linking 1t up with
the old Harness district where
small oiler was drilled in more than
year ago.
South of the flock Of producers,
and little east, Nelson ct al, are
drilling at around 300 feet in the
northwest Of the northwest OF the
southwest Of section 36-5n-7w.
Holmes, Wharton and Allen arc
about ready to start in the south
east quarter of section 12-5n-Sw.
The Concord Oil company, Court
ney farm in the northwest quarter of
section 2S-5n-Sw, will be drilling soon,
having completed rig.
Two miles west Of Ninnekah, Lug
inbyhl ct al, are drilling in the
southwest of section 32-6n-7w. Their
depth is around 500 feet and the
formations are said to be favorable.
On the Newell farm in section 26-
6n-7w, Cant Arrasmith ct al, are
drilling at the reported depth of
around 300 feet.
