Somerset oil field is steadily increas-

are being brought in every week and
dry holes are practically unknown.
There are rumors out TO the fact that
several new companies with annie

HOUSTON HAS A WELL
Pierce Junction Work-over Flowing
1850 and Gulf 5000.

Houston, Tex, April THE close
of the week in Texas Gulf Coast Oil
circles saw the Pierce Junction field
in the outskirts of Houston very
much in the .imelight with the oil
men shaking their heads and not even
trying to tell what had happened.
Last Monday the ball started to
rolling when Snowden & McSweeney's
No. q Cain, a work-over, started 10
flowing clean oil at the rate of 1850
barrels n day from a total depth of
about 1000 feet. The well had or
iginally been completed at a depth
100 feet less and the present hole is
the result of a sidetracking job.
Thursday, the wonder of wonders
came TO hand and the wise ones shook
their heads when the report that the
Gulf Production Company's No.
Fitzimmons-Hamman had started TO
flowing while pumping and was max
ing 5000 barrels of clean oil had been
verified. The Gulf well has his
tory and many Houstonians remtm-
Der their visits last summer to the
well when it was wild gasser, with
gas escaping from the ground for 100
yards in every direction. The well
was finally brought under control.
began to spray oil and later was
placed on the pump.
When the Fitzsimmons well started
to flowing Thursday, no one was more
surprised thar was the head man on
the job. One explanation heard is
that considerable mud was pumped
into the hole when it was gassing
to try and shut off the gas to bring
the well under control, and the oil
has finally forced its way through
this mud. A fine mesh screen had
been set and the screen may have
weakened.
During the month Of Marcel, Pierce
Junction produced at total of 25,-
600 barrels of oil, but since the two
wells started flowing the field now
has an average daily production of
about 1890 barrels.
Operations in other fields Of the
Texas Gulf Coast were without out
standing features of any kind. A
number Of worked over holes in var
ious fields furnished small production
and practically al of the compilations
were very small.
The daily average production OF the
Coastal fields was slightly more than
10000 barrels, a decline of about
1000 barrels when compared with the
previous week. according to figures
compiled by the Oil Weekly. Goose
Creek continues TO lead other fields in
point of daily production with West
Columbia n close second.

MEXIA CUT 20 CENTS
California Runs Its Daily
Average Up to 1885,
600 Barrels.

Two bomb shells were exploded in
oil circles during the week-both ex-
plosions being rather serious.
When it became known that the
daily average production of crude oil
in the oil fields of California had in
creased 10000 barrels to 100000 bar
rcls. the effect was telling The
crude market is weak and has been
weak for some two weeks. 1t was
thought that il the daily production
of the United States would steady and
better weather show up, that the mar
ket would struggle through the period
ending with the real opening of spring
business. But the strain was too
great, apparently.
Thursday morning, the second ex-
plosion was heard-and felt. The
Humble Pipe Line Company an
nounced a 20-cent cut in the posted
price of Mexia crude. The Texas
Company later in the day met the
cut and then carried the cut further
b. marking down the posted price of
Currie crude the same amount. Some
weeks ago, Currie and Mexia crudes
Hdu Dttu DooSteu uHtli tHc poSttu
price was equal to North Texas and
Mid-Continent crudes of similar CRAWL
ties.
May Mean General Cut.
The cut at Mexia and Currie
Thursday may mean another cut in
other sections of the United States.
There is a large storage at Mexia.
but there is also a large storage of
crudes in other sections Of the coun-
try. New tankers are entering the
trade every week to bring California
oils TO the East Coast. II many of
the refineries in the East switch from
Mid-Continent crude TO West Coast
crudes. the break will some. But in
the opinion of many of the best posted
oil men, il further cuts can be held
off ten days TO two weeks, the weak
period may pass with prices holding.
In another two weeks, gasoline should
be moving in increasing amounts every
day, aud the sellers will have a
better viewpoint of what is in store
for them.
The situation during the last week

posted price OF erades in January and
February was reflected in the sum
mary Of field operations in the Cen
trail West Texas district during March,
as a total of 151 competitions were
reported Of which IS were oil and
gas producing wells with combined
initial flow of 1892 barrels and 33,-
000. 900 cubic feet of gas.
Stephens county is the only section
of the Central West Texas district
that is showing any marked improve
ment in drilling activity.
New production added TO Eastland
county by the Eastland. Ranger and
Pioneer fields aggregated 2195. barrels
and 100000 feet of gas from 20
compilations of which eight were dry
holes.
An almost complete circle of dry
holes were sunk around the BESIDE
mona Gorhan pool, which centers on
the Westmoreland tract northwest of
Deslemona, and hopes of this pool
expanding have about been given up.
However, a 100-barrel well was COM
pleted by Harrell ct al on the l.. G..
Ross tract. located TO the northwest
of the field, and separated from pro-
duction by a barrier of dry holes.
North Texas Active.
The Moran and 1bex pools In
Shaekelford county were somewhat &C
tive during March, but no competitions
Of any great Importance were scored.
A survey of results obtained
through field operations by. operators
inthe North Texas district during the
month Of March shows more compile
tons and a greater amount of new
production added TO the district than
has been the case in more than year.
The four major producing fields reg,
istered a marked increase in activity,
in addition to checking the heretofore
gradual decline in production with an
unusual number of competitions. Pres
emit crude prices are largely response
BILE for the general improvement In
the North Texas district. while recent
widening of producing areas is afford
ing new territory to drill on.
The total output of crude made by
the district during March amounted 70
1.996,970 barrels which is a gain OF
more than 100000 barrels over the
short month of February. There were
219 wells reported as being completed
in March. of which 153 were produc-
ing oil or gas wells. The new pro-
duction added to the district was
slightly more than 10000 barrels.

has changed very little if any in North
Texas and the MidContinent, al
though fuel oil prices are slightly Off
in price, but moving with little
more freedom. Enquiries are becoming
little more numerous for other re-
fined products and the pleasant
weather late in the week holds out
much promise for an early opening
of business. Ths next ten days will
tell the story. If posted prices for
crudes are cut during that period. it
