McMurry Going Good.

The Johnson-Sunb. Corey No.
2 well. Sc sw NV 1912 W, came
in Monday morning. The produc-
tion was found in the Ellis, at
the depth OF 1926 feet, and the
we'll was brought in with a con-
troll head to prevent the waste of
the oil. The oil came outside of
the casing and flowed out on the
ground near the derrick, so great
was the pressure.
No estimate has been given as
to settled production, but it is
said that from all appearances
the we'll will be one of the best
in the field. A line and tubing
will be run as soon as possible
and a test made of the produc-
tion. A small amount of water
is coming up with the oil. The
gas pressure is rather puzzling,
as yesterday afternoon it began
coming up between the casing.
which is believed to indicate
bridge. Oil also came up between
the casing and was splattered
about considerably. The casing
is set at | ,405 feet within 81 feet
of the bottom, and the bridge
must come below that point. An
other puzzling point is that wat
er has appeared in the well, al
though there was none struck in
drilling tie well. The water flow
is a small one, and stands about
300 feet in the hole.
The Newton McMurry- Corey
No. 2, ne Sc sw 4-34-2 west, came
n Saturday at the depth of ,265
,eet. Production was found in
he Sunburst sand, the oil rose in
he casing at the rate of 100 feet
IN hour, they now have a control
head. At this time we cannot
rive the amount of production OF
his we'll, but is rated with the
,est commercial producers of the
ection.
