drilled considerable number of wells
in the hacienda, in several of which
production has been obtained, two OF
the wells now drilling are of particu-
lar interest.
No. l Guerrero, is in the extreme
southwestern part of the hacienda
and holds special interest because il
is further from Tampico than any
we'll rightly construed as being in
this district. Well No. s is also ready
to be drilled and is approximately
1900 meters from any former opera.
ton. In addition to the number oil
tests made by the Marland in Limor
with regular tools great number OF
holes have been put down by staI
rig to depth of from 200 to SOC
feet with the thought that it will bt
possible to plot the sub soil from the
information thus obtained.
TamismolOn.
Tamismolon, which lies south Of
Miradorcs, is controlled largely by
the Dutch Shell with the exception
of lot %, held by the Itamex Oh
company. In 1916. the Consolidated
Petroleum Oil company drilled dry
hole in the hacienda, as did the Uni
versal Oil company the next year
The test now being made by the
Itamex is one on which they have
been guaranteed dry hole money by
the Dutch Shell.
Quebrache.
Quebrache lies approximately ter
milometers south of Topila and thu
property is held mainly by the Ma
tional Oil, Globe Petroleum and tn,
Island Oil and Transport Corporation
The latter company drilled the frs
well in this hacienda in 1916, fin
ishing in gas at 5000 feet. This wa

one dry hole and which on Januar!
6, 1924, completed well No. 3 fo
200 barrels at 3015 feet.
Three wells were drilled by tn
Globe Petroleum company. The first
No. 2, lot ia, was taken over from
| the National Oil company at dept
of 3O06 feet after being shut dow
for more than year. March IL
1923. the well came in at 3O16 fee
for 1000 barrels production of Il
gravity oil and was the first dee
producer in the Tampico district
Withdrawals amounted to 41S,OO'
barrels before oil turned to salt wa

Lagartero.
Lagartero is south of Tamboyuch
on the west. Most of the land il
the hacienda is controlled by tn
Cortes Oil Corporation. The Eas
Coast also has some acreage. In 101
lthe Seguranza Petroleum compan
abandoned a dry hole at 1000 fee
and nothing was done until the Corte
drilled No, 3, lot 30. which was cor
pleted June IL, 1928 at 1000 feet a
a'dry hole. In January of this yea
No. /, lot %. was also finished O
buster at 3040 feet. The Corte;
however. is continuing its wildcattin
and Mt present is drilling well No.
on lot IS, at a depth of 2043 fee
in San Felipe limestone.
Culebra.
Culebra is north of the Tamesi ri'
err across from Chapacao and is cor
trolled exclusively by the Huastcc
Petroleum company. Operations j
the hacienda are being Carried o
BY its allied subsidiary, the Mexica
Petroleum Corporation, which ha
completed four wells in the haciend
since the latter part of July, 1872
three for salt water and one DIR
hole. Well No. ) is now being drill
ed at approximately 1900 feet.
Altamira.
Altamira lies north OF haciend
Tampico and the Tamesi river an
extends from the Gulf of Mexico
sthe Culebra property of the Huastec
Petroleum company. 1t is bounded o
the north by Chocoy, La Palma, Ba
cadon and Questecitas. Operations
this hacienda were originally starte
by s. Pearson and son (now Mex
can Eagle) in 1907, and four wei
were drilled in the vicinity of Ii
Esteros.
Later came the American Intern,
tional Fuel & Oil company whic
drilled eight dry holes and sa
water wells in all of which, howeve
small showings of oil were obtaine,
This is especially true of well NJ
q. lot 8, which was good for J
barrels of twelve-degree gravity o
at 145O feet. The holdings of thi
company have been taken over by tn
Mexican Gulf Oil, which is now drill
ing wells No. IL and ID Altamira.
