TWO Bic WELLS
COMPLETED
ON COAST
Producers at Blue Ridge
and Orange Making
4400 Barrels.

Orange and Blue Ridge each show
ed a biz well as a result of the past
weeks activity in the Gulf Coast and
there were several smaller competitions
in other districts. bringing the total
number of completed wells up to II.
Only two of this number were dry.
Initial production amounted to 4S62
barrels.
At Blue Ridge, the Gulf Production
Company's West Schenek No. 3 was
completed at $3.50 feet for an initial
flow of 2400 barrels, and was holding
up to its initial output late in the
week. This producer is located on
the south side Of the dome, and is the
first well completed at Blue Ridge, in
the last seven months, that has made
any oil. 1t started flowing through
three joints of four and one-half-inch
screen without battling, and had suf-
ficient gas to make it flow without be-
ing hard TO control. This well will
boost the output at Blue Ridge, pro-
vided it holds up. For several months
the yield in this field has been below
500 barrels per day.
GUSHER AT ORANGE.
The Orange well was brought in
by the Humble Oil and Refining Com
pany. on its Chesson lease, and is
called No. 10 "a" 1t flowed 1000
barrels from 4765 feet, and is the
second big well TO be completed on the
Chcsson tract by the Humble COM
pany within the past two weeks. Last
week No. Bob was reported to be
making 3400 barrels from 1900 feet.
Heretofore wells on the Chesson lease
have shown good staying qualities,
and have been among the best pro-
duccrs in the Orange field.
In spite Of the two big wells, pro-
duction figures for the entire coast
district fell off as compared with last
week. Production from these wells
did not get into pipeline runs for the
week, and therefore does not show up
on the report. Undoubtedly they will
influence the coast total next week.
Slumps at Orange, South Liberty,
and High Island, brought the total
more than 5000 barrels below last
week, with the combined yield of all
fields at 79,427 barrels.
WELL SANDS UP.
At High Island, the Gulf Produc-
ton company's Smith well, the only
producer, has sanded and is off
production temporarily. TIE crew is
working on the well, trying to clean
it out and bring it back, and will
probably have it on production again
by next week.
The Gulf is drilling on two Wild
cats Mt High Island, George E. Smith
No. 3 and No. 4. Both were below
1850 feet a week ago.
Among the smaller compilations of
the week, the Continental Oil COM
pany got n 22O-barrel producer in its
Chesson No. 16. at 1926 feet. The
Atlantic Oil and Refining company's
No. 3 Hager made 30 barrels from
1925 feet, and the Orange Petroleum
company's Winfree Z made 81 bar
rels from $3.50 feet.
Hull showed only one well and that
a small one. The Gulf Production
company completed its Phoenix De-
velopment company No. 80 for IS bar
rels at 1926 feet.
At Sour Lake, the Mcnamara Oil
company's Bashara IA was a failure,
at 925 feet, and at Spindle Top, Yount
Lee abandoned its No. 1 Gladys, as
dry, at SIS feet.
SMALL PUMPER.
s. r. Buchanan's Millholme 81. at
Batson, pumped % barrels, from 1925
feet.
The Gulf Production company made
a 60-barrel well in its Hoffman Gail
lard S, at 2770 feet, in the Goose
Creek field, and the Humble Oil and
Refining company also got two pro-
ducers there. Simms-Smith Go pump
ed 40 barrels from 2540 feet, and
Ashbel-Smith made 80 barrels on the
beam, at 2440 feet.
Wildcat operations showed two new
tests started, and four wells abandon
ed. Near Long Point, in Fort Bend
county, the Gulf Production company
made locations for j. III. p. Davis
Z and s. No. Z will be drilled on
section 101, 100 feet to the north
and west lines, in the Houston and
Texas Central railway survey, and No.
s is located 100 feet from the north
and west lines on the w. Watson
tract. The Gulf abandoned its Davis
No. @ last week, at $50 feet in cap
rock.
