~ but that Okmulgee county has
supplied a new pool OF large psoduc-
ing capacity. Much Of tho area %
the county Is as yet unteStod as Tar
az tho deeper sands are concerned
and there is svsry reason TO sup
pose that the county VIII At least
he able TO maintain its present pro
duction for years TO come.
Some District Figures.
within the Okmulges district
there Il approximately four thou
sand square miles OF territory com
priaing 2,560,000 acres. Not more
than 10 percent OF this vast area has
been subjected 10 intensive develop
ment and but a percent OF all OF the
wells drilled In the district in the
firgt IS years OF development were
failures. There II between 800 and
400 wells drilling within the district
at all times.
There are--more than five thou
sand producing OH and gas wells
within tho district and the produc-
tlon Of tho oil wells is handled by Is
pipeline systems centerinR at Okmul-
gee where there are five large oil re-
fineries with o combined daily capac-
ilty OF 10000 barrels and a property
valuation OF S5,250,000. Pipelines
valuation Of t5.25O.000. Pipe lines
also oxtend from the district 20
Tulsa. Muskogee and other refining
points within the state and four
great pipeline system cross tho OK
mulgee district through which the
oil produced here Is shipped to Kan
sas City, st. Louis. Chicago and the
Atlantic and Gulf seaboards.
A large part OF the natural gas
produced in the Okmulgee district
Ia gathered UP by four different pipe
line systems and shipped 70 the four
principal cities Of Oklahoma-Okla-
homa City, Tulsa, Muskogee and
Okmulgee-and to many smaller cit
les and towns throughout eastern
Oklahoma. Tho remainder OF the
natural gas produced here IL used as
raw material In 81 casinghead gaso-
line plants scattered throughout the
district, or is used as fuel for field
operations. The value OF casinghead
gas produced IN the Okmulgee dis
trict each year exceeds 100000,
while the value Of the natural gas
production is in excess OF that figure.
Outstanding Developments.
The outstanding development In
the Okmulgee district In the year
1929 was tho drilling up OF the
Lyons pool in and around sections
10, "a, 20 ana 3b-lI- i. lHls great
pool was opened In the latter part
ot 1924 and reached Its peak produc-
tion in March and April, 1922. II
has produced more than ten million
barrels OF oil 40 far and is still pro-
ducing 100000 barrels per month.
II Is the greatest pool in point Of
production ever opened in the Ok
mulgee district. This pool also con-
tains the greatest producing s0-acre
lease ever developed In the district.
A Wonderful Lease.
This lease Is the Andrew Holmes
lease, owned by the Independent Oil
& Gas Co. OF Okmulgee. and To-
Gated in 13-11-11. The FIRST we'll on
the lease was drilled IN on Novem-
her "a, 1921, and in the first year
OF it's history the lease produced
1,4t4,sS4 barrels Of pipeline Oil
This IL an average Of 1889 bar
rels for each OF the IL wells on the
lease and a recovery of 1889 barS
rels per acre in the first year. The
lease averaged S.996 barrels every
day during tho first year and is still
producing at the rate OF 200 barrels
per day per we'll or about two thou
sand barrels daily.
