WELL W|DENS
LOCKHART
FIELD
Hccser No. / Crenshaw Is
Making 400 Barrels
at 1920 Feet.

LOCkHART. Tex, Oct. 31.-With
the completion vi the Crenshaw No. ].
r wildcat about one mile south and
east OF the proven area Of the Lock
hart field. operators are turning to
the territory between this well and the
l.uling field for DEVELOPMENT. Wild
caters are certain Of finding another
rnol between Luling and Lockhart
that will prove the theory that Cald-
well county is on an oil structure
containing a series Of non-connected
pools.
The Lockhart field is producing
from the Taylor mari and Serpentine
formation at 1900 to 1850 feet. while
the Luling field is producing from the
Edwards lime ut POO to $3.50 feet.
The old Walker well. drilled by the
Big Gusher Oil company on the north
east side Of the Luling field. is pro-
ducing several barrels of oil daily from
formation found Mt shallow depth.
1t is probably the Taylor mari or the
Serpentine, similar to the Lockha-t
field.
SAME STRUCTURE.
II Is probable that the producing
structure ut Lockhart makes curve
End comes into the I.ulins field al
this point. Should this be the case,
wells drilled in territory between the
Crenshaw and Walker wells will aid
greatly in PRAYING up the Caldwell
county oil territory. II is possible
that this entire structure which is
apparently % miles long. will be
drilled and open n territory with a
daily production OF fully 10000 bar
rels day. The present production Of
tbe Luling and Loclkhart fields COM
bined is $4,000 barrels day.
To the north Of the Lockhart field,
several good showinrs of oil were
found III the shale formations. The
Lockhart field is producing in this
formation. while the district to the
south showed considerable oil at this
depth. Nearly every well in the Luz
ling field found fairly good showings
of oil at shallow depths. Many Of
the wells could have been completed as
producers. In Guadalupe County, still
further on the structure, the Magnolia
Petroleum Company's No. Day found
a good showing in the Taylor mari
and later in the Serpcntine. Opera
tors say that this well might have
produced il shot at this depth. Other
tests drilled through this formation in
the Scgljn territory, most OF them
finding showings of oil or gas.
WILDCAT PRODUCING.
The United North and South Oil
Company Of Luling has well pro-
ducing in the territory midway be-
tween Luling and Lockhart. This
we'll. known as the Callahan No. l.,
is making % barrels a day from
around 2300 feet.
The most interesting completion of
the week was No. l Crenshaw Of John
Hooser, independent operator Of Cor
sicana. The well is making 800 bar
rels Of high gravity crude day. The
we'll picked up the Scrpentine forma-
ton at 1880 feet, which was 40 feet
thick. The total depth Of the well Is
1870 feet
Mr.. Hooscr bought the lease on the
Jos acres in the wildcat area south
Of the field several weeks ago. paying
500 an acre. He is now negotiating
for additional property in the vicinity
OF this test, which he plans TO develop.
ANOTHER TEST.
When drilling was in its infancy,
and with the wells OF the Gulf, Mar
land. Humble and Sun, many expressed
it as their opinion that the Sun lease
on the 4. ii GommllliOn was bound
20 be the heart Of the field as il was
BY far the most productive and has
nj this time 90 first-class wells on
The 100 acres. The trend of the field
is ard has been for some time south.
east and territory condemned by dry
holes is now coming into the limelight
by the discovery Of fine wells.
John w Hooser was not halted b5
dry holes and took over the Crenshaw
lease. The first test was n producer.
The well was flowing at rate of
fifteen barrels an hour into the storage
tanks Thursday.
Hooser has made n location 300
Yards south of the No. / and is skid
ding the derrick over for No. 2. Six
more locations have been made on the
lease and drilling will be started short
~. Offsets " i'll be drilled if producers
are COMPLETED This lease is surround.
I'd by major companies, who plan to
sink tests in the near future.
READ TO DRILL.
Blackic Read will drill test on n
36-acre lease adjoining the Crenshaw.
..'hts tract is under lease by local bust
ness men. Houston. Of Austin. has let
contract for n well just north of the
Hooscr producer.
Drilling is fairly active in the prov.
on territory, several companies drilling
wells. The Gulf Production company
leads activity with four producers. two
on the Riddle and two on the Beatty.
They are making a combined produc-
ton Of nearly 1000 barrels on pump.
These wells are producing from around
1850 feet. Jim Harper has shut down
his two wells for a few days, but will
start shortly.
Tho Lynch No. I, after finding the
Serpentino formation not productive
enough to make commercial well. has
gone down to the Georgetown. This
formation. showing considerable oil
and gas, was found at 1000 feet. II is
probable that this well will go to the
Edwards.
J. Is. Ash and associates are moving
machinery onto location made on the
