Laredo, Tex, March 15.-The dis
covery of high gravity oil on the
Ochoa Pasture by the +. l.. NJ. Oil
and Gas Interests has added new i'm
petus in. the oil development work
in this district and in addition has
opened considerable new territory that
was formerly considered dry. While
the well has not been placed on the
pump, considerable oil was bailed
while testing and from indications
taken from other wells in the field,
the well should make around 100 bar
rels of oil per day. This we'll is To-
Gated on block % of the Wolcott sub
division of the Ochoa Pasture and is
the third test drilled by the company.
Casing was set at the depth of '2O26
feet and the total depth is 20SS feet.
While very little has been said re-
Gently about the tests that are drill
ing in the vicinity of Bruni, there
is considerable interest manifested in
the No. . well of the Cole Petroleum
company. This test has threatened
to clear itself several times during
the week. by throwing mud and water
high into the derrick. A small gas
well was completed several months
ago which has been supplying the
boiler with fuel but from the actions
of the well. the company will go back
into the hole and attempt to clean it
out in hopes of getting larger produc-
ton.
Two Other Tests.
The liner is being pulled from No.
3 which is located only a few hundred
feet distant and derrick for No. 4
is being erected about ] IA miles to
the east of the Marine Arispe Grant,
and just across the Duval county line.
One good producer was added TO the
field this week by the Rio Grande
company located on block
. of the Edgington subdivision of the
PUG ranch. The well was completed
at the depth of 1896 feet and is
making something over 100 barrels on
the pump. This we'll is located on
the discovery lease of the Aviator
Pool which was owned by the Avia-
tor Oil company until recently when
their holdings were sold to the Rio
Grande Petroleum company.
1t is understood that an additional
contract has been. let by the South
WEST L tAdS vi CollDthN LUZ luz uiii
ing of its test on survey zoos, east of
clifton, TO the depth of 2400 feet. The
original contract called for 1000 feet
and was completed some ten days
ago. At this time the well is drill
ing below POO feet. The Wither-
spoon Oil company nearby. on survey
1907 has reached the depth of 1920
feet.
Spud i'm No. 3.
In the Schott pool, the Alworth
Brothers have spudded in No. ) test
and erected a derrick on the south
west corner of the east ope-half of
block 20. The Carnahan Producing
and Refining company is deepening
No. SO to the high gravity sand
that was recently found in No. s.
This well was brought in several
months ago for flush production of
75 barrels per day and which later
dropped down to less than 30 barrels
after which it was decided TO drill
to the deeper horizon. Casing will
be set in No. IS of the same company
by the first of next week. No. Is
and 10 of the Magnolia Petroleum
are both being drilled to
the high gravity horizon. McCree
Petroleum company completed the set
ting of casing in No. s while Shaw
ct al. located on block IL of the
Los Ojuelos grant also set casing on
a cap rock 1920 feet.
Core q Red Sand.
In the Aviator Pool, the No. 3 of
the Andrews Petroleum company is
standing, having cored n red sand
that looked very promising. The
Black Panther Petroleum company set
casing in No. Z and is preparing TO
drill in Sunday. The derrick has also
been erected for No. 8 which is To-
Gated 300 feet to the east of No. Z.
The No. Z well is an offset TO the
large well recently brought in by the
Laurel Oil company, Clark and How
ard is testing an excellent oil show
ing in No. l on block IS of the
subdivision. The Corn
huskers Oil company. is drilling below
1000 feet in No. 1 and 800 feet in
No. .. Both of these wells are off
sets TO the west of the Laurel well.
D. w. Killam completed No. 1 on the
Albercas as gasser of about 5000
eco cubic feet. No. . located 300
feet TO the east is drilling below 600
feet Tools are being moved on the
Radio Oil company No. 6 which is
oacted in the northeastern corner of
block 3 of the Edgington subdivision.
In the Mid Ojuelos pool, the Gin
Tex Petroleum company is drilling be-
ow 100 feet in No. 4. Practically
al work is discontinued on the Laurel
ease due TO difficulty with the title
,n some 500 acres of the southern
portion of the Los Ojuelos grant. 1t
appears that this amount of acreage
IS in excess of the amount that is
owned by Eusibio Garcia and is
therefore state land. This property
mas been filed on by a Mr.. Thaxton
If Austin and for the time the title
