Showing Reported
In Durant Wildcat

Unconfirmed reports have 1t that n,
showing of oil and gas drilled through
in l4-foot sand at depth of about
400 feet is increasing in the Sewell
Syndicate test in the southeast of
the southeast quaEter OF section p,
6s-Se, Bryan county, and is show
ing for possible producer. The
sand was passed through with the
rotary tools. and at the time ii was
encountered, was considered merely
slight showing. Drilling was con
tinued. and yesterdays report had
the depth of the hole at 1900 feet.
According to the report, it Is not
believed that 1t will be possible to
plug back to the sand and drilling
will be carried on to completion Of
the $500 foot contract. Although still
undecided, the operators may skid
the rig following completion with
hopes of bringing in n producer. The
test is located about three miles west
of Durant and will open up an eX
tensive territory IL II proves produc'
ton.
