grant in the Mid-Ojuelos structure
northeast Of the Aviator field came in
MonCay making around go barrels
of oil daily accordig to Mr.. Olsen. This
well is one Of the best in the field.
Casing was set at a depth of 1852
feet and the bit was stopped eight
feet in the sand. The well is being
placed on the pump.
Quigg No. Rigging PIP.
Tools are being set up on the Quigg
No. 4 and the well will be started
early this week. The location is on
Block 40 OF Los Ojuelos grant in the
Mid-Ojuelos structure northeast of the
Aviator field in Webb county.
The Quigg No. is the first we'll to
be started on top of the escarpment
in this vicinity and it will prove an
interesting test.
The Mercedes Petroleum Company
drilled its No. . deeper last week and
has again placed the well on tbs
pump with good results. Production
is now about 125 barrels of oil per
day. The Mercedes lease is in the
south part of the Schott field. There
are two producing wells.
The Mercedes Petroleum Company
started rigging Up Tuesday on its No.
3 well in the Schott field. The well
is located as an offset TO the south of
the No. = well. This well win be
spudded in by the end of the week.
The Magnolia Petroleum Company
began drilling its No. ) deeper last
week with Star tools and has pene-
frat uts.ot I'm ha1p "a
gas sand where the. well was finished
up. There was not enough gas in
the well to furnish the am punt of fuel
needed and it was decided TO drill
deeper.
A string of five and three-sixteenths
casing was set Wednesday to shut out
the salt water and lest will be made
next week. The No. ) is an offset
of the Schott No. and is located in
the southeast part OF Block IL of Los
Ojuelos grant.
Makes 125 Barrels.
The J. W. Guigg No. located in
Block 40 of Los Ojuelos grant north
east of the Aviator field. cam, in Sat
urday making around 12J barrels of
oil.
Casing was set at depth of 1890
feet and drilling was suspended after
nine feet of sand had been penetrated.
1t seems that the sand in this part
of the field has thickened some md it
may be that larger wells will be
found on this lease.
The Holden No. l will be complet-
ed, it is reported. This we'll has been
standing for quite a while with only
spasmodic drilling. The well Is 10.
Gated nine miles east of HebbrOnville.
Drilling will be res,m ed in the hole
with cable tools this week and con-
tinued until the contract depth is COM
pleted. Two thousand feet q 1O-inch
will be set the first time should pay
not be encountered before this depth
is reached. The present depth of the
hole is 11J0 feet. \ deep test will
be made and it is now expected that
pay sand will be found since the good
showing that was passed w in the
Owens well just before they shut
down. The crew working on the Civ
ems well. which IS only a few miles
east of the Holden well. say that a
well could have Deen made just before
opera tons were stopped.
The e.. 4. AIonzo company brought
in its Alonzo Jr., No. 3 last Saturday
making around 100 barrels of oil
daily. The well is located in the east
side Of the Alonzo acreage in Survey
sos TO the north Of the Aviator field
The tools were being set up on the
No. 4 well last week and the hole will
be started as soon as possible.
Tools were set up this week on the
derrick floor of Schott No. IL in the
Schott field. The well will be cleaned
out and drilled deeper.
Other wells which have been drilled
deeper in the Schott field during the
last few months have encountered an
other sand which has increased the
production and the Schott Oil Com
pany will pick up this second sand.
The SchOtt Oil.Company is still on
the hunt for oil in Survey 6l3 in Ia
pata county, to the northeast of the
Miranda discovery pool. This COM
pany started test on this section last
week. The first well encountered a
heavy gas and salt Mater with an ex-
ceedingly heavy water pressure. The
second hole was dry.
The third test is being drilled to
the northeast of the No. l well about
1000 feet. This location is said to be
much better than the No. .. which
was west of the No. about 600 feet.
Conditions are favorable for the open
ing of another pool of oil by the
Schott Oil Company in this vicinity as
the biologists look on the structure
