MUCH DRILLING
CHIEF FEATURE
In SOUTH TEXAS
Gulf Coast Also Comes in
for Activity in All
Fields.

Interest in the South Iexas anu
Gulf Coast oil districts was widespread
during the week with practically every
locality in the territory coming in for
some attention.
Probably outstanding among the
weeks results in field activity is the
well Of the United North and South
Oil Company in Guadalupe county.
This wen, the company's No. / Nc
Kean, has served to add Impetus to an
already active section and the Luling
field is now undergoing an unusually
large drilling campaign.
The Mexican well is the third pro-
Queer to be completed in Guadalupe
county. The well came in last Sunday
for a flush production of 1900 barrels
a day. 1t is producing from a porous
lime found at a depth Of 210O feet.
Late in December the United North
and South Oil Company completed 10
peg No. /, across the Guadalupe coun-
ty line and opened up considerable i'd
ditional proven territory to the field.
Ii has not been definitely determined,
however, whether the new section is
really an extension to the Luling field
or is n separate producing locality. The
three producers in the section are To-
Gated on the same side of the fault
as the wells in the Luling field proper
and are producing from the same for
nation at approximately the same
depths.
Several other tests are now getting
under way in the Guadalupe county
district and the United North and
South Oil Company has seven tests
going down in the vicinity of the Nc
kean producer.
While not quite as important as the
new producer in the Luling field, the
Progress Oil Company has turned con-
siderable attention TO the shallow Sec
tons of Duval county, located in the
extreme southern part of Texas, east
of Webb county. The company's No.
| Tinney came in last Monday at 600
feet with a flow variously estimated
from 100 to 500 barrels. The well at
last reports was making 500 barrels
of which only 10 per cent was oil,
the remainder being sulphur water.
This test is located on a structure
which has shown oil production for
several years but which has not yet
been thoroughly developed. Other
work is planned for this section dur
ing the coming summer.
In the Gulf Coast interest was
centered around the big producer
brought in in the Hull field by the
Humble Oil and Refining Company.
This concerns No. l Sterling came in
early in the week with n flow of To-
900 barrels of pipe line oil. The well
is easily the largest ever completed
in the field. Production was found
at the deep depth Of 4165 feet.
In the same field, the Humble's
No. 2 Taylor Heirs is making $50
barrels from 1850 feet. The Republic
Production Company md others have
another producing on the prolific Dol
bear tract. The interests No. a is
making 225 barrels at 2630 feet. The
Sun Company's No. o Carr, a work
over, is producing 30 barrels on the
pump. The Houston Oil Company's
No. Z Taylor is making $50 barrels
at 1926 feet. This is workoyer.
At Batson, the Ada Belle Oil Com
pany has completed No. &C Honey
moon for ten barrels at 372 feet.
The Gulf Production Company has
another producer for the new Big
Creek section of Fort Bend county in
No q Wheat. Sand was encountered
at 2215 feet and the well is making
60 barrels. Both the old Sour Lake
and Spindle Top fields account for
producer during the seven days. In
the former section the Gulf Produc-
ton Company's No. 81 Hardin Tarver
is good for GO barrels at 1866 feet.
The Selma Oil Company's No. . Ches-
son at Spindle Top is making 220 bar
rels at $50 feet.
A total of six wells, either compile
tons or workovers, are credited to the
Orange field.
