A string of rotary tools was being un-
loaded Wednesday at Miranda City and
hauled out to the Benne lease.
A good well was brought in Wednes'
day by the Trinity drillers for j. W,
Quigg on block 40 of the Ojuelos grant
The well is located on high point just
Immediately under the escarpment. Due
to shortage of water the hole has not
been completed and the amount of pro-
duction is hard to say. However, the
drillers place $50 barrels as fair esti-
mate.
The top of the sand is 1920 feet, be-
ing probably 80 or GO feet deeper than
the wells in the Aviator field. This
well is located IN the Mid-Ojuelos struc-
ture and bling on tn high point accounts
for much of th greater depth.
! The Carnahan Producing and Rein
/ ing Company brought in three wells
during the holiday week. Well No. Z
| in the southeast part of the lease, came
! in for about 250 barrels of oil daily.
! Well No. 10 offsetting the NOret No. |
| is now making around 80 barrels and
well No. IL offsetting Nos. and o is
| making around 80 barrels daily. These
three wells will place the Carnahan
Company high up in the production for
| the coming month. All the wells are
located on survey So Of the Schott field.
Wells Nos. II and Is are now drill
| ing and a derrick was built Wednesday
! for No. IA. The company has three
rotary rigs in the field and will use a
Star rig in the future for drilling in
purposes.
The Laredo Oil Company built der
rick over its No. l well on survey 49i
this week and will go back into the
hole to clean it out and properly plug
the hole. This well was plugged with
cement and the opinion of Sam Mackin,
| field manager, is that it was not done
properly and that cement should not
| have been used. The hole after being
cleared will be plugged with heavy mud
thereby preventing any possibility OF
| salt water getting into the oil sand.
The Laredo No. 1 is the first produc-
| ton found in this section of Webb coun-
ty and was discovered long before the
| Schott No. 2, discovery well OF the
Schott field, came in. The Laredo On
Company is the pioneer company. OF the
field in Webb county as the only pro-
duction along the escarpment at the
time it started operations was that OF
the discovery pool of the Miranda Val
! ley in Zapata county.
