feet in the Garcia No. by thu
Witherspoon Oil company. This vel
is located on Block l of the OjueloS
grant Just to the east of Miranda
City.
Well Makes 100 Barrels. y.
The Miami Laredo company, one
of the Killam interests, brought in q
good well Monday on Survey Cos off
setting the Black Panther well. This
well is located ip the Mid-Ojuelos
ield and is making around 100 bar
rels of oil daily.
A derrick was hauled out Tuesday
for the No. . well and tools were be-
ing set up Saturday.
The Elm Oil & Gas company has
started its second hole on Las Animas
grant Holbein ranch in Jim Hogg
county. The well is just 10 the north
east OF the Miranda pool in Zapata
| county.
Byron Ogburn announced last week
| that the Shasta Oil company was
making arrangements 20 start a drill
! ing campaign on its lasc in the Mid
! Ojuelos field where it owns 40 acres
in Block so OF the Ojuelos grant.
The Shasta No. l on this lease will
be an offset TO the Naslo, Richmond
Garcia and Cin.-Tex Nueva wells, all
good producers. This will be the
third well drilled by the Shasta COM
pany IN the Miranda district. Their
first well was a gasser in the west
side of the Schott field. The second
was drilled in the Ochoa pasture
partition of the Ojuelos grant and
after striking a good oil sand was
lost on account OF drilling through a
second cap and encountering a flow
of salt water which could not be
munity well on Survey 266 of Webb
county.
The Andrews Petroleum corpora
ton brought in its first well in the
big Miranda district last week. The
well is estimated good for hundred
barrels daily and may increase when
it is thoroughly cleaned out as the
sand is giving some trouble.
Well No. is rigging up and the
derrick is up for the No. j well. Both
these wells will be drilling early this
week.
Strike Gas Sand.
Carter, Muter and Perkins struck a
good gas sand in their No. l well on
Survey 30 of the Gates kirkpatrick
ranch in the Leaseholders field last
week at a depth Of 1120 feet. The
gas made a good showing. coming up
through the heavy mud in the hole.
The well is located in the northwest
quarter OF the section.
The oil fraternity is beginning TO
look upon the Reiser gas fields as
probable oil bearing territory and
much activity is now manifested.
The latest word is that W. c.
Mading is preparing to drill a deep
test inside the city of Reiser on Sur
vey 1917. The well will be located
near the deep well that was drilled
some years ago by the Producers Oil
company. This well is said to have
been drilled slightly deeper than 2G00
feet. Oil is continually seeping up
between the castings and has been
bailed out of the hole. l.. A. Reiser. !
for whom the town was named, and |
discOverer of the field, says that this
well produced oil and would still
produce oil if allowed TO be brought
in properly. He says that Reiser will
yet show us something in the produc-
ton line.
A deep well is to be drilled almost
on top Of the high point to the west
of the escarpment in Webb county.
The Laurel Deep Well Oil company
has completed arrangements and has
erected derrick just TO the north of
point where the Great Western anti
cline crosses the escarpment. This
high point is the top o. the water
shed in Webb county. The land
drains both to the Rio Grande river
on the south and the Neuces river
on the north. If being on top the
structure means anything then this
well should attract universal atten-
ton.
The we'll is located in the west
center of the north half of Survey |
266 about a mile and one-half west |
of the Carolina-Texas No. ).
Laurel Well on Pump.
The Laurel Oil company brought !
in their first oil well in this district !
last week. They have drilled a num-
Der OF wells in this section but gas |
has been the only production hereto
fore.
Their No. ! located in the south |
part of Survey Cos in the Mid-O juelos
field of Webb county came in Monday |
and is estimated good for 100 bar
rels of oil daily.
j. W. Russell has located a shall |
low sand in his No. drilling on Block |
As of the Ochao pasture partition of |
the Ojuelos grant. The sand is rich |
and showed heavily on the ditch. 1t |
was picked up at depth of 1870 |
feet and Mr.. Russell is almost GER
tain that it would have made a COM
mercial well. He will test this sand
in his No. 3 we'll.
The Russell No. ! is short dis !
lance north Of the producing wells in |
the Mid-Ojuelos field and about a
half mile due east of the big gasser
in Survey COG.
o. c. johnson started drilling in
Saturday on his No. ] well in the
east side Of Survey COG in Webb
county in the Mid-Ojuelos field.
Another deep test is going to be
drilled in the vicinity of the Carolina
Texas field. Emory Brooks of Hous-
ton is getting ready to drill a deep
test on Survey 40 of Block l in Webb
county.
Mr.. Brooks is one of the big oil
men Of Houston and he has owned
large block Of acreage in this part
of Webb county for a long time. His
activities in this district will attract
many of the oil men from the Bayou
City and it now begins to look as if
Houston is going pretty strong over
this way and that plenty of Houston
money will come in here.
