formations are changing every few
uThe conditions are pronounced
most favorable for bringing in a
ducing oil well.
There has been a total OF ten
htas of gas sand struck in this well
all of them have been given lab
tory tests. The first of these sands
struck at a depth of $50 feet
others were found at varying
bths up to 2S7S feet. The thick
IS of these sands has ranged from
feet up to 76 feet. The greatest
ckness of sand was found at 1000
and the pressure was so great
Id setting casing was big prob
n, 1t is from this sand that the
gassers were brought in. Eight
h casing was set in the hole to
e off this big gas sand as the well
intended for a deep test.
The drilling is proceeding very
WHY and with much care. Rat-hol-.
and coreing is the method used
no sand is passed without first
ling a core and applying test;
Sing will not be set again until
