Drilling to Proceed on Test
East of Escarp-
ment.
PUMP AVIATOR WELLS
Andrews Well Comes in for
Unusually Good Pro-
duction.

| the active ODtldtloi W INC S
Petroleum company. Their No. =
well was started Wednesday on block
80 of the Ojuelos grant of WeDD
county in the Mid Ojuelos pool.
The we'll is located east of the
escarpment. 1000 feet south OF
O'Hearn No. . and 300 feet west:
1t is expected that this well will
come in equally as good a well as
| the O'Hearn which swabbed from
| 1000 to 2O0O barrels and is today
reported pumping better than 2Oo
barrels.
The Cin-Tex is one of the oldest
/ companies operating in this pool ana
it has drilled several wells in an at
tempt to get production. Last spring
! the company went into fifty-fifty
! deal with the Nueva company and
| drilled a community well on block
! 80 and brought in one of the best
bumpers in the Mid Ojuelos struc-
| ture.
Paul Tafel is in charge of the
field work of the Cin-Tex. He is
| also an officer in the company. He
has been on the job here for the last
two years. -.
The Wheatley and O'Hearn No. 3
located on the northwest part OF
Survey 81 came in late last Friday
estimated good for around so barrels
of oil daily. This well is north OF
| the No. . we'll and is also on the
east side of the escarpment and is
expected materially to increase its
production. The we'll is in the Mid
Ojuelos pool of Webb county. =.
Saturday while swabbing the well
the swab was dropped and fishing
job is now on hand. 1t is giving
| the company much trouble to remove
this swab and it is likely the well
will not be finished ~ for a week or
ten days.
Beatty ct al Set Casing.
Casing was set late last week in
| the Beatty, Baker, Bailey and Fin
ley No. l on block 40 of the Ojuelos
grant of Webb county in the upper
end of the Mid Ojuelos grant. This
well is east of the escarpment and
! bids fair 10 come in q producer.
The well is drilling at 100 feet.
Casing was set around 100 feet.
Should this well come in it will
prove up considerable stretch of
territory northeast from the O'Hearn
wells which are on the east side Of
the escarpment and nearly one-half
mile distant.
The Weslaco Oil company was to
drill its No. / we'll in Saturday.
Casing was set in this well at a
depth of l714 feet. The location is
on block 80 of the Ochoa Pasture
partition of the Ojuelos grant in
Webb county.
This part of the field bids fair
to become one OF the most produc-
tive parts of the Mid Ojuelos struc-
ture as there is now much activity
in the vicinity of this well.
Active Campaign Planned.
The MCGEE Petroleum company
will soon start an active campaign
in the upper end of the Schott Field.
Monday n derrick was erected on
Survey, 22j3 offsetting the Wither-
spoon No. 1 which is on block l of
the Ojuelos grant of Webb county.
The McCree Petroleum company
now has number Of producing wells
on the northwest part of Survey
2253. These wells have been shut
down most of the time for the past
three months and only few of them
have been pumped at all.
The Laurel Oil company built
derrick for its No. Tuesday, and
the tools are being set up. The we'll
is on the northwest part of block
6S of the Ojuelos grant Of Webb
county. 1t is an offset to the south
of the Qu;gg No. . which is one of
the best bumpers in this part of the
field.
The Laurel Oil company has three
producing wells on the southeast part
of Survey COS in Webb county and
block 6S of the Ojuelos grant is on
the east side of this survey.
Make Rapid Progress.
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Trust
Estate is making fast time on their
No. l in the Schott Field. They
were drilling yesterday below 1000
feet and will likely be ready TO set
casing before the middle of next
week.
This well is located on the east
half of block 20 of the Ojuelos grant
of Webb county. W. l.. Richards,
Laredo geologist, located the well and
is looking after the field work.
A derrick pattern was hauled out
LhNShhN WY W
vey 1876, Webb county. This derrick
is for William Morgan and others,
who will drill a deep test to the
! southeast of the Carolina Texas No.
and determine If possible whether
deep oil exists in this direction from
the big gas fields.
The Carolina-Texas No. 5 was said
TO have cored rich oil sand at 5000
feet but when the well was drilled
in after setting casing no oil showed
up but a heavy flow of gas was pres
ent and being petroleum gas it is
freely predicted that IL allowed to
blow it would drill itself in an oil
| producer.
The Morgan well will try to pick
up this rich sand and give it a
thorough test There is still some
talk that the Carolina-Texas company
viii complete its well this fall. The
well is standing now in heavy mud
The Laurel Deep Well Oil company
has made contract which has been
signed up for the resumption of drill
ing in its well to a depth Of $3.50
feet. The well has been standing for
the past three weeks at 400 feet.
This well is located on Survey 26G
