CANNON'S ALLEN TO
SUPPLY BOILERS AT
z LULING WITH GAS
Is First Gasser in Field to
Be Commercial
lied.

The No. 1 Allen, of G.. c. Cannan
in the Guadalupe section Of the Lul-
ing field. which has been a wild gasser
for the last several days, will furnish
fuel gas for nearby boilers, it was an
nounced Saturday. Canaan is erect
ing a California type derrick one To-
cation farther to. the west for another
test and oil men figure that be has a
fine chance to make a well. The
j. X. Hughes Developing Company's
No. 1 Allen, nearby, is a 1000 barrel
well. The United North and South
Oil Company is reported to have is
sued an order Friday that no more
of its wells should be drilled in at
present. The reason for the order
was not made public. This company
is producing around 10000 barrels of
oil daily in the Luling field and is
shipping several thousand barrels. At
present the company is storing con-
siderable oil.
The entire production, not ship
ments, Of the Luling field, is esti-
mated at more than $4,000 barrels
daily.
The Lulign oil field continues to
furnish biologists with food for
thought on both sides of the river. In
the Guadalupe county field Danciger
Brothers have just abandoned their
Gross test, which failed to strike the
Austin chalk until the bit reached a
depth of 1000 feet, while in the pro-
.I,,n,ro oroa h. oholl 10 fnnp1 oro,,pJ
1850 to 100 feet. The well was
abandoned at 205O feet, the opera
tors figuring that the chances for
production were too small to justify
further work.
In the same line and closer to the
field, Z. Z. Cannan's No. 1 Allen,
which failed to strike the chalk at
all, has been wild gasser for weeks
and has been finally abandoned as
an oil WE'LL.
On the Caldwell county side of the
field the weals on the Byrd lease and
Hardeman lease struck the chalk high
and made producers at the normal
depth of both sides of the field, which
runs around 2150 feet, while the Nos.
1 and = Gideon, did the same thing.
One location to the east of No. =
Gideon and one location south of the
Hardeman lease the No. 3 Gideon
failed to make d well and the regu-
lar depth, passed through the chalk
the second time at low depth and
made a 150O-barrel well at 2600 feet,
being the deepest producer in the en-
tire field.
Another Gideon well is being sunk
+. by the United North and South Oil
Company about two locations east
and south of the No. 3 and the chalk
was found at the normal depth, which
causes much speculation as to just
what will develop, there being two
theories advanced by oil men in re-
gard to the No. 3 Gideon. The first
is that it is rigth on top of a break
in the formation and drilled straight
into plug. The other is that it has
uncovered an entirely new producing
depth and that other wells to the
south and east will be developed at
the new depth, with strong posi-
bility of producing wells around the
old Crcnshaw, Robinett and Walker
wells in the southeast sector.
The new Gideon test is being close
ly watched, and should it make q
producer around 1900 feet, the south
east trend of deep oil will be con-
sidered proven, while if it would
happen to make a well ut the 2150
level, new ideas will have to be i'd
yanced.
