LAREDO COMPANY.
The Rordo Oil Company is syndl.
cate compost OF business men oil La
redo. headed by b. NJ. Alexander and
do I tpn
is being drilled ty Bissonett and Mus
successful in drilling in tine Henne,
Winch and Fariss pool, in jim Hogs
county.
The drilling campaign in this field
is caused by the gas line that is now
being laid by the Southern Natural
Gas Company of San Antonio and the
contemplated gas lines that are to be
laid by the Seagravcs-Moody interests
of Galveston. and the Houston Oil
Company of Texas, Houston.
DRILLING ACTIVE.
Both the latter companies have
taken over considerable gas acreage In
the Carolina-Texas and the Bruni-Cole
fields and are actively engaged in
drilling at this writing. =,
The Houston Oil Company OF
Texas. acting through the Cole Petro-
lcum Company of Laredo, is drilling
two tests on acreage owned by the
Cole Petroleum Company and cleared
the location for some five other tests.
Kirkpatrick ct al No. /, located on
survey S35, Aviator pool, Webb coun-
ty. set casing Mt 1910 feet over a very
favorable looking sand. The sand
checks some 30 feet higher than the
wells of the Rydal and Crown Cen
traI. which are located to the east.
The general opinion seems TO be tnat
this test will form connecting INK
with the Miranda Valley or Discovery
pool to the south.
DEEP TEST.
The Texas Company changed the
location of No. .. which was previous
" reported as being 800 feet to the
eost of No. /. which recently blew. IN
ne the largest gasser in this district:
The new location is 500 feet west oil
the gasser. This test is reported as pc
ing n deep one. No attempt will be
made TO test any sands below. 3ooo
feet. In the opinion Of the oil frater-
nitv Of Laredo, the area in the vlcln-
;tv of this test is the most promising
in the entire area. 1t has long oeen
the contention of many oil men anu
biologists that the present; productlo5a
Is only the shallow production anu
that when deep test would be urillea
large production would be secure .os
The Texas Company gasser proves
this contention and opens the way
for deep drilling at all points IN this
