Now Eleven Wells In
New Bellevue Field,
But One Is q Gasser

The tenth producer brought in in the
new Bellevue oil field lis the Louisiana
Oil Refining Corporations No. 2,
located in the northeast corner Of
northeast quarter of northeast qua rter
Of section 15-1911, the corporation
owning the acreage in fee. The well
was brought in Thursday of last week,
at 31S feet, flowing 400 barrels, the
pay sand being tapped at 3O5 feet. The
new well is a quarter mile north of the
K. o. Roy Company's Scanland No. 2,
thought to be the biggest producer In
the field, and offsets the Standard Oil
Company's Wyclle MOL northwest
corner of northwest quarter of north
west quarter of section 14-19-11) COM
pleted as a 1O0-barrel producer at $50
feet. So 1t is to be seen that 1t is SO
feet deeper than the well it offsets.
The Scanland No. 2 is OF 4O5-foot depth,
125 feet deeper than the Wyche No. /
above referred to.
The eleventh producer In the Belle
vue field is gasser, reported else
where on this page. 1t is the Roy Com
pany's Railroad Lands Company No. o
and blew in last Friday afternoon,
from the depth OF 374 feet, making
2,0OO, 600 feet Of gas. Its location is in
the northeast corner OF northeast quar-
ter of northwest quarter of section
15-19-1I
As vet no Oil from the Bellevue field
has been marketed and the wells re-
main capped as earthen storage is said
to be too wasteful. In Shreveport,
among those most at interest, it has
been suggested that fund to be used
In the construction Of railroad to the
field be pooled There is reason to
believe this may be done within the
next few months. Saturday Of last
week Mr.. J. H. Hesterly, of Shreveport,
representing the Louisiana OIL Refin-
Ing Corporation, was in Benton in the
interest Of securing a right0fway for
a pipe line and telephone line. The
corporation named owns at least three
4O-aere tracts In section IL, In which
the heart Of the field Is perhaps To-
Gated and, we learned from Mr..
Hesterly, It Is planned to lay four
inch pipe line from the northeast
corner OF the section to d point half
mile east Of Leslie, a saw mill town ON
the Louisiana andi Arkansas Railroad,
where loading racks will be estab-
hshed. 1t is expected the telephone
line will be established first, and the
pipe line laid within the next two
mdnths, perhaps.
We learned to-day that drilling is
under way near the northeast corner
Of northeast quarter OF southeast quar-.
ter of section 25-12-10- Frank Pease
farm. The r. o. Roy Company has
made location in the southeast corner
Of southwest quarter of southwest
quarter Of section 22-12-10-on the
same body Of land. Also, to the south,
southeast and southwest Of the Roy
location, from quarter OF a mile to d
mile, there are three other locat atoms
on acreage belonging to Messrs G. w.
Dement,, Dave Dement and H. Dubose.
In the Elm Grove district the Stan
dard OIL Company some days ago COM
pleted McDade No. \, making SO, GOO 900
feet of gas. The depth Of the we'll is
reported as S43 feet; Its location Is iii
section 12-16-12.
Il ~
The Pine Woods No. 2 (referred to
By many as the Giles No. y Ia still
making much gas and some oil and
salt water are now to be noticed, ac-
cording to reports here In Benton and
so some of the Banners correspondents
have written. As stated In last weeks
issue the big gasser Is across Bolcau
from Bossier Parish, in Webster, but
its coming in has resulted In renewed
interest In mineral leases in the entire
| section. -
The Bellevue oil field Is soon to be
given additional publicity, this time in
The Oil Weekly, published ii Houston
Texas. J. Kent Rider, member ot
| the staff Of The on Weekly, Ii re.
| ported to have visited the new field
last week. 1t Is expected the data he
| gathered will furnish material for an
article to appear in an early issue ot
! his publication.
