Caldwell Oil & Gas Company, the No.
/ Hardeman of the United North Il
South Oil Company and the No. l
Fields by the Beaucbamp Petroleum
Company the total production OF the
Luling field can safely be estimated
at between $4,000 and 10000 barrels
of oil daily. However, this amount OF
oil is not being shipped from the field
due to shortage Of tank cars, and it
is conservative to estimate the fields
shipments at $4,000 barrels daily. At
present there are about 100 derricks
in the field. More than one-half of
this number are drilling wells while
nearly onc-third are excellent pro-
ducers. Shortage of shipping facilities
is becoming serious but owners OF the

is expected within the next two or
three weeks.
