TO TEST
WILDCAT IN WEBB

MIRANDA CITY. Tex, Oct. 81
1t now beins to look as il the long
predicted oil north of Miranda City
is actually in sight with the taking of
core from the Texas Wildcat Com
pany well on the upper end of Survey
719 in Webb county. This well test
cd out a sand around 1900 feet last
week and bailed some oil with gas
and plenty of salt water. The well
was drilled deeper with what now
looks like succeSs.
A string of 4 12inch casing will
be set at 2020 feet to make the test.
The bottom of the hole is 2064 feet.
The sand shows a high gravity oil and
may carry enough gas TO make com
mercial gas well spraying oil. 1t is
said by many oil men that this is
the same sand that is found in the
1000 foot stratum i'll the Carolina
Texas field to the northeast about
three miles. About two years ago.
II. +. Duggan and others drilled two
wells just to the north of clifton AMI
they bailed some high gravity oil from
sand Mt about the same depth.
Trussle and Cezeaux are the
drilling contractors on this well and
the principal owners. They have quit

MAGNOLIA MAY
DRILL TEST
To EDWARDS

IULING. Tex, Oct. 31.-The new
est test of the Magnolia's Day wild
cat well has proved disappointing,
and although it is being left to wait
another 24-hour period to see if it
will not yet make 4 producer, there is
every indication that it will not be a
well. 1t is probable that it will lie
drilled on down to the Edwards lime,
which will require about 100 feet of
additional drilling, according to those
who have figured the formations from
the log of the well in connection with
its location with relation to the pro-
dufing area.
The well showed good indications in
the Taylor mari at about 1000 feet
and casing was set for test, and
while oil showed regularly in the
slush pit, it could not be brought up
in sufficient quantities TO make II
well and was drilled to 2600, where
another showing was found in the
Eagle Ford shale.
Liner was set and another test
made, with better showings of gas
and a good quantity of oil, but bail
ing cleans out the hole, without
bringing the well in and it is thought
that its only hope now is for a pro-
ducing horizon in the Edwards, both
of the other formations being too
light to give up the oil sufficiently
to allow a commercial well.
Very little additional work has been
started in the main field lately and
only about three rigs are running a,
present, with the exception of the
North and South's two deep tests.
which are drilling steadily. All Of
the North and South's activity At

tion of their monster electric plant

gether with carloads of other mn
tcrials, which are being hauled out as

IN bEXAR

The eyes Of South Texas oil opera
tors have turned to the No. l Gin
mel, being drilled in Bexar County by
the Grayburg Oil Company. This
test is about five miles from San An
tonic and near Brooks Field.
The last report from the well is
that it is drilling around 1850 feet.
A ten-inch casing was set at 113O
feet recently in the Austin chalk.
Operators have been making rapid
progress in drilling this well.
There is 11.-foot derrick over
the hole, which is said to be the larg--
est and finest that has ever been used
in this county. A heavy type rig, en-
ploying two boilers, one in reserve, is
being used. -,
1t is reported that this well will
be drilled through the Edwards lime,
which is expected TO be encountered
before the bit reaches the 2500-foot
level. 1t will prove up the deeper
forma tons in the vicinity of the city.

Davenport district, the Carter Oil
Company No. 1 carp, north offset
to the original Sicily well, made So
barrels in 10 hours and is estimated
for 1900 barrels Of As gravity oil.
OTHER WELLS.
The Sicily Oil Company original
well, known as Raoda Ford No. 1, is
still holding up o.>ee to 900 barrels
after it originally came in for 100
barrels last June. In the Davenport
pool proper, the Magnolia Petroleum
Company No. 6 Sukovaty in section
3-14-15 made 633 barrels in "a hours.
Texas Company shot its No. Upton
in section 2-14-5 and Increased the
output from 535 barrels to HOO bar
rels. The Davenport pool produced
1875 barrels Of oil OH October u
and was fast becoming one Of the
major oil areas Of Oklahoma.
After a temporary lull, the produc-
ton from the CARRIER deep sands has
started climbing again. One of the
largest wells in the field was the Mid
Continent Petroleum Corporations Mar
land Oil Company No. 45 School Land
in section 1924 west which was
deepened from 4306 to 4318 feet and
made 1865 barrels the first "a hours.
1t is the largest individual well in the
CARRIER pool. The Roxana Petroleum
Corporation Schroeder lease is pro-
ducing heavily, it's last report being
14,435 barrels daily. The 20 deep
sand producers IN the CARRIER pool
are now flowing 32,002 barrels, &C.
cording to pipe line records, of which
1886 barrels is salt water.
ANOTHER GUSHER.
Roxana Petroleum Corporation No.
2-W Schroeder is second largest well
in the field with daily production Of
63O6 barrels. A half dozen new wells
are expected in before the week is
over and scouts Of major companies
report that the field may reach 40
900 barrels day by that time, all
from the deep sand.
In the Thomas pool, northwest Of
Tonkawa, the Carter Oil Company
completed No. 8 Thomas in Section
1922 west for POI barrels at 1922
feet. This is an Oswego lime well and
indicates the possibilities which might
be expected from this formation if
the regular pay is missed in drilling
or when production is declining. The
Marland Oil Company No. 2 Thomas
farm in Section 1882 west is the
wonder we'll of the field. 1t original
~ came in for nearly 500 barrels hour
ly and has been making from 5000
to 5000 barrels since it was brought
in May II, and on last report was
flowing strong at $500 barrels after
a series of deepening tests at differ
cnt times in the last few months. The
well is making AZ gravity oil with
absolutely no water and producing
from the Wilcox sand so feet in thick
ness. Few other wells in the Thomas
pool have shown near the performance
of the Marland gusher although Mar
land has another well making about
half the production of the record
breaker.

CUSHERS ARE COMPLETED
IN NEWER OKLAHOMA POOLS

TULSA. Okla, Oct. 81. Big
wells predominated in Oklahoma the
past week, most of the newer fields
contributing one or more wells of the
gusher variety. The performance Of
the Gypsy Oil Company Seay wildcat
well in Jefferson county, indicates a
bringing in of 1500-barrel well in
the Burbank field. long dormant as
far rs big wells was concerned, was
feature of the weeks operations.
The CARRIER, Davenport and Thomas
pools were in the limelight by big
compilations.
Prairie Oil and Gas Company has
posted q new schedule for low gray
ity oil. including that below % grav-
ity which has heretofore been the
lowest grade quoted. The new grades
are q to 27.9 degrees at a price Of
$1.07 per barrel and IS to $50 de-
grees at $1.15 per barrel. The large
quantity of low grade oil now be-
ing offered in this territory, chiefly
on account Of the fuel oil demand. has
resulted in a large supply being
thrown on the market. hence the CON.
pany's action.
SITUATION STRONGER.
The crude situation is some strong
er than two months ago, authorities
maintain, but there seems to be enough
oil in sight to supply demands until
the first Of the year. at least, it is
said. Increase in crude prices are not
generally expected until after tie first
of the year, according to present pro-
duction estimates.
The most important well in Okla
homa from the standpoint of indicat-
ing new production possibilities seems
to be the Gypsy Oil Company well on
the Seay farm in section 1876 south 5
west. Jefferson cornty. This well is
rated as high as 5000 barrels but the
difficulty of pipe line facilities makes
a gauge a matter Of uncertainty until
adequate pipe line connections can be
had. When pinched in through a single
three-inch line, the well flowed at the
rate of 100 barrels an hour for short
time. The Gypsy company is planning
TO deepen its No. Seay on this lease
to the new sand and has made loca-
tons for Nos. 6 and and has rig
up for No. 8 on the lease.
BIG PRODUCER.
The proven area of the Burbank
field. long since dormant as far as big
wells are concerned, was given thrill
last week when the joint test OF
Prairie Oil and Gas Company and
Conan Oil Company in the southwest
quarter Of section S-27-6 came in max
ing 1880 barrels initial from the Bur
bank sand at 2945 feet. This well is
on the extreme northeast edge of the
field and extends production about
two locations to the north. Four quar-
ter sections of unsold acreage. adjoin-
ing it in section Z makes it appear as
choice territory as the next Usage
sale. The well is flowing natural and
is the first we'll of this size to be com
pleted in inc field since last spring,
although several nearly as large have
been brought in after shooting with
uitroglycerine.
