county in the Mid Ojuelos structure
The Laurel Oil company is gettir
ready to drill its No. 4 well Whit
will be an offset TO the j. w. Quis
No. 2. The No. 4 will be located
the northwest part of Block 6S ,
the Ojuelod grant of Webb count
in the Mid-Ojuelos structure.
Max Buffum, president of the con
pany said yesterday that he expecte
! to get the best well of his string {
wells thus far judging from the Quig
well which is one of the best in til
entire field.
Well Cleaned Out.
The Schott Oil company cleane
out its No. 3 well in the Schott poe
last week. This well is making NOR
oil than it ever did. The compan
has removed the string of rotary tool
to another one of their wells in tt
Schott pool and will clean out and pu
in firstclass shape. Several of tn
wells in the Schott pool will be treat
ed TO this process.
The Schott No. was the first OF
well drilled in the famous Schott poo
of Webb county and for a long tim
it was looked on as an edge well t,
the south side of the field until las
spring when number of good well:
were brought far to the south of thi:
well.
The Sure Shot Petroleum company
is drilling its No. . deeper with Ste;
tools. The well is drilling below 100
feet and it is the belief of the owners
that they will pick up another sand
around 1900 feet. They had big gas
sand just below 1900 feet. The we'll is
located west of the Schott pool OF
Webb county in the gas area.
The Kirkpatrics-Lucas Trust Es-
tate started their No. l well on We'd
nesday of this week. This well is To-
Gated on the southeast quarter of
Block 20 of the Ojuelos Grant of Webb
w. l.. Richards, Laredo geologist,
made the location and will keep a
close watch on the well.
ThraSher to Drill.
Two wells will be drilled on the ].
W. Quigg lease in the Mid-Ojuelos
structure Of Webb county on Block
40 of the Ojuelos grant of Webb
county. This lease is considered one of
the best in this structure and it is
hardly possible for Mr.. Thrasher to
miss making good wells.
The lumber for the Thrasher No. l
was hauled out from Miranda City
yesterday and the tools will be moved
on as soon as pssible. Mr.. Thrasher
will be on the job in charge of the
drilling.
The first well will be an effort to
the north Of the Quigg & Nordyke
wells, and south of the Quigg. Nordyke
and Olsan wells.
The deep test of the Lowry Oil cor
poration was started last Saturday BY
Contractor II. Muckelroy. This well
is located on Block 4 of Survey 1912
about q half mile west of the Carolina.
Texas gassers and it is the opinion
of many oil men that the Lowry OIL
Corporation will get the deep nay
which is said to be in this part CT
the Miranda territory.
The Lowry Oil Corporation has con-
tracted for a deep test and Mr.. Muck
elroy is known as one of the best
drilling contractors in the district and
n man who Knows the oil business
from the driller's point of view. This
well will attract wide attention from
oll men and scouts from all over the
and it will. in way. prove
up what the CarOlina-Texas No. 81
allied to do. The Carolina-Texas M.
was said to have struck n very rich
Ill sand at depth of 5000 feet and
when the well was drilled in it turned
nut to be heavy gas. but the well
las not yet been finished up and there
s some who yet say that an oil well
an be made.
Casing Is Set.
The Leaseholders Producing & Re
lning company set casing in its No.
yesterday at q dtpth Of 1915 feet.
This well is an offset to the east and
lightly north of the No. 2 discov-
ry well of the field. 1t also offsets
he No. @ which is a deep test.
The sand picked up in the discovery
veil was cored in tht No. G and il
vas found TO be 10 feet thick from
-052 to 1O71 feet. Each core taken
howed oil and gas and it is likely
he No. Z which was drilled to make
est of this shallow sand will come
n for a better well than the discoy-
'ry well which made around 20 bar
els OF oil daily when it came in last
all causing n scramble for acreage on
he Gates Kirkpatrick ranch in the
northeast part of Webb county.
The cement will be allowed to set
or two weeks before the No. Z is
lrilled in. A string of star tools will
De used in drilling in this well. The
NO. Z is located on the northwest
'enttr of Survey 10 of Webb county.
Casing was set in the Canadian
Producing K Refining company's No.
% well on the upper end of Block 10
u the O1uelos Grant of Webb county.
This well is an offset to the Wither-
spoon No. IL which came in about
month ago making better than a 100
barrels Of oil daily.
Fresno Spuds Tn.
The Fresno Oil company No. l was
started Monday by Contractor Homer
Tyson on Survey 10 of Jim Hogp
county. Wednesday at 100 TO $50 feet
gas sand was picked up and again
at I'D TO 300 feet heavier sand was
penetrated. Both sands showed gas on
the ditch and the latter sand bubbled
frtely showing considerable volume &C.
cordlng to information given us BY
frank Campbell, Laredo geologist.
his well was signed up for A $500
foot test but it now develops that IL
may be drilled to $500 foot before
abandonment should oil not be picked
up nc n less depth in quantities suffi-
citnt to Justify making test.

: started its No. ] well six miles
southwest of Dilley last week and hns
experienced some hard luck with
breakdowns of pumps. A hard surface
