25OO-BARREL WELL
is BROUGHT IN IN
Ell BARCO DISTRICT
Producer Comes in at 21O3
Feet-First to Be of
Commercial Value.

Tampico, March 15.-The first pro-
ducer Of commercial value was COM
pleted in Ell Barco when the Kern
Mex Oil Fields Lit. Brought in its
Well No. Tuesday morning for $500
barrels at 2103 feet. This is the
sixth well the company has drilled
since 1920, of which two were dry and
the other four estimated as good for
go barrels. Well No. z lies on the
western border against the Cacalilao
line and abutting holdings recently
taken over by the Aguila from the
Mexican Atlas.
FL Barco and La Palma, which can
rightly be construed as one property
are owned in entirety by the Kern
Mex and Mexican Gulf and the en-
tire leases is practically checKerDoard-
ed between these two.
Drilling in La Palma was frs.
started by the Tampico Oil Limitc,
as the kern-Mex was then known.
in 1912 and in this early stage six
wells were drilled in La Palma for an
estimated initial capacity of 1925 bar
rels. with one very small producer
in Ell Barco. The total amount of
oil withdrawn is 269,5SS barrels. The
Mexican Gulf drilled seven wells in
Ell Barco with an estimated initial
capacity of SO barrels, including 40
barrel well in La Palma. The largest
of these wells is No. 43, good for
800 barrels, and the otal production
of all the competitions was 16,01S bar
rels to February 1. Both the Kern
Mex and the Gulf are taking enough
oil from their holdings for fuel pur-
pose for drilling operations.
The Kern Mex has derrick up for
one well while the Gulf is doing no
work in Ell Barco at the present time
both companies, however, have a large
number of locations. the Gulf recently
getting fifteen revalidations. and it is
expected that as result of the COM
pletion of No. Z, that both companies
