MAY BE FIELD.

The output of the Texas Company
well and its depth give indication that
it really opens a new field. Further
drilling will be necessary to deter
mine the extent, and also whether a
better quality oil will be found.
At this time no analysis of produc-
ton from the well has been. given
out and little is known about its con-
tent.
Boiling is located about twelve miles
south of Wharton, and the dome is
about a mile from the town of Boiling.
This well is the first wildcat of any
Importance to be completed in the Gulf
Coast for a number of months, al
though a number of wells are drill
ing in various localities.
In the old fields there was more
than usual activity during the week,
and completion held up above the aver
age. A total of thirteen wells were
shown as compilations, among which
there were two failures, the rest being
producers.

TERRITORY LEASED.

Acreage around the well is well
blocked by the big companies, with
the Texas Company holding the land
Immediately surrounding the well.
This company has lease on 500
acres, 100 on the Taylor land, and
two 80 acre blocks on the Floyd
land. Sinclair Oil and Gas company
and the Sun Company own a joint
tract within $50 feet of the well and
the Atlantic Oil Producing company
holds acreage near the well. The
Gulf has an immense block of acreage
to the north and east of the Taylor
tract, also.
At this time no definite plans for
further drilling have been announced,
but several tests will certainly follow
as soon as the work can get started.
Drilling has been going on at Boil
ing for nearly two years, and during
that time a few wells have been
drilled, of which two found small
production. These wells never have
made sufficient oil TO count them
commercial producers, however, and
the most Of their output was consumed
in drilling other wildcats.

Texas Company's Taylor
Test Comes In at
1924 Feet.

Attention Of Gulf Coast oil men was
turned to Wharton county this week
when the Texas Company completed
its Taylor No. 3 for an initial produc-
ton of 10000 barrels, from a 3S24-
foot sand. The well is located just
off the south edge of the Boiling salt
dome, and apparently opens a new
field for exploitation. Gravity of the
oil is 80 which puts it in class "B"
coastal crude.
Because OF lack Of storage facili-
ties, the output of the well has been
choked down to less than 500 bar
rels pending the erection of tanks,
now under construction. Within a
few days these will be completed and
the well will then be opened up.
