MAY IMPROVE WELL
Big Lakes No. 2 Pumps $50 Barrels
but Will Go Deeper.

Big Lake, Tex, April 5.-Gas pres
sure has increased materially in the
No. 2 producer Of the Big Lake Oil
Company, which is now being deep
ened to $500 feet in the hope of in
creasing the production. This well,
while only 800 feet west of the Santa
Rita discovery well, which is pumping
$50 barrels daily; has since its COM
pletion been small producer, also the
crude is of q different gravity, show
ing a test of AZ degrees.
The carrying of the hole down sew
eral hundred feet deeper, it is be-
lieved, will make it better producer
than the No. 1. The Big Lake Com
pany, as result of fast drilling ac-
complished during the last few weeks,
now has two more wells close to the
pay and these should be completed dur
ing the current week.
As a result Of q fishing job with
the bit lost at $500 feet, completion
of the No. l Shannon well Of the
Crockett Drilling Syndicate, will be
delayed for several days. No serious
trouble is looked for in recovering the
tools, as the formation for the last
800 feet. has consisted Of firm gray
lime. which has carried numerous
showings of both oil and gas. This
well, it is expected, will be good
producer when the hole reaches the
2900-foot level.

PERMIT NOT GRANTED
McCorkle Must Begin Work on Aran.
sas Pass-0klahOma Pipe Line.

Austin, Tex, April 5.-Permit to
operate pine line from Carter coun-
~. Oklahoma to Port Arkansas, a
distance of 700 miles was declined
the McCorkle Pipe Line company. a
S1O.OO0.0O0 Delaware corporation
with Texas headquarters at Fort
Worth by the oil and gas division of
the railroad commission. This action
was taken because the pipe line is not
as yet actually constructed.
Chief Supervisor II. f. Bell Of the
oil and gas division explained that it
was against the policy of the railroad
commission to grant such permits to
pipe lines until they are actually con-
structed and ready for operation.
When portion Of the pipe line has
been constructed permit will be
granted to operate for the distance
completed, it was stated by Chief
Supervisor Bell.
S. r. McCorkle, one OF the chief
promoters of the McCorkle Pipe Line
company and State Senator Stuart of
Fort Worth, attorney for the company
were here in connection with the ap-
plication. This company was recently
granted a permit to do business in
Texas and it proposes to make pipe
line connections with the various oil
fields in North and Northwest Tex
as and also establish elaborate termin-
al facilities at the port of Arkansas
Pass. 1t is stated that the company
plans 10 spend several hundred thou
sand dollars on these facilities and
the oil is to be shipped to various
parts of the country.

feet of gas. One well has 100 feet
Of oil in the hole.
After a delayed 400-well drilling
campaign on the 4000-acre Lark
lease, drilling operations have been
started by Lightfoot and Company.
Five derricks have been erected and
the wells will be spudded in the first
part of the week.
The crater well, which bridged over
the middle Of last week, is gassing
heavily and increasing its pressure.
The Hoad and Scharbauer No. l
Bowers is reported to have 100 feet
of oil in the hole. The No. 2 Bowers
is reported to be making 1000, 600
cubic feet of gas daily, and is spray
ing much oil. The No. 1 II. and S.
is connected with the pipe line and
is producing 100000 cubic feet of
gas. The No. 3 is making 1000 900
cubic feet. The No. 4 is setting cas-
ings at 7S5 feet. The No. 3 Lark is

Oil Production Takes Upward Squirt Spngke Weather Sets

those which are shot is now very rapid
and the big total will probably not
hold for any length Of time. The field
is too much drilled TO expect a main
tanned output until wells on new tracts
sold last month come in when produc-
ton may hold its own for several days
but certainly not much longer. The
drainage is too great.
Winter i'm Kansas.
Cold weather has hamper, 3D.. activity
in Kansas and no definite results we're
visible last week in that state. New
operations are very much in evidence
around the Marland-Waite Phillips
well and big block in Cowley county
since Marland Oil Company
has announced that it would soon
start construction Of a pipe line from
Ponca City refinery TO the new field.
The well which is making 26J barrels
of high gravity oil into tankage erect
ed on the lease pending the building of
the line. There is nothing new around
the Valerius well in Russell county,
central western part of the state,
which is swabbing around $50 barrels
Of Al gravity oil. Both of these wells,
important for being wildcats, nre hold
ing up in good shape. Because of the
fact that their owners have blocked all
available acreage within striking dis
lance of them, they can afford to move
slowly with operations and this ac-
counts for the absence. Of the boom
spirit in these localities.
