SITUATION BETTER.
The crude situation is decidedly bet
ter this year than for the last three
years, most authorities claim, since nc
especially big fields are booming al
this time as was the case last yeaI
and the year before. Crude seems to
be getting decidedly cheap and refin'
ers and purchasing agencies have nc
trouble obtaining their requirements
consequently premiums are being re-
duced. The CARRIER and Tonkawn
crude premiums were cut about IL
cents a barrel last week and further
reductions are probable.

proof enough that the CARRIER poo
will have to be reckoned with. Recent
wells extended the proven area con
sideYably and one Of them opened an

The Braman pool with possibly a
more limited area than CARRIER, looks
just as good if not better but on &c
count of large part of the proven
acreage being Sewed up by Conan Oil
Company, development will not be as
swift unless new extensions are imme'
diately opened. The Tonkawa pool is
beginning to score again on the north
end where n series of wells we're start

BIG WELLS.
Latest well in the CARRIER pool is
the Sinclair Oil & Gas company No.
&c Denker in section 1924 west,
which started off at 1892 barrels with
the sand penetrated 2S feet to total
depth of 4474 feet. 1t later increased
to 70 barrels an hour and will prob
ably be drilled deeper with better re-
suits all the time. This well extends
the deep sand area three quarters Of
a mile west and slightly north. The
Roxana Petroleum Corporation No. 1
Wolfe in this section made 1120 bar
rels the past "a hours after starting
off at 1160 barrels when shot recently.
The new sand discovery at CARRIER
in the Roxana Petroleum Cor
poration No. 2-W. Shredder well
in section 1924 west is still
flowing strongly as it is deepened to-
ward the Wilcox pay. 1t originally
made 1900 barrels from what is
thought to be the OSwcgo lime Mt
4166 feet and has been gradually deep
ened ever since. Its highest flow was
5000 barrels which came after being
drilled to 1880 feet.
IS DEEP WELLS.
So far the CARRIER Wilcox sand
area is a little over a mile wide and
looks as if it would approximate the
Importance of the Tonkawa deep
sands. There are about % wells in
various processes of drilling to the
deep pay, Sinclair Oil & Gas COM
pany having thirteen of these and
fully q dozen of them will be in with
in the next ten days. The field is
being watched closer than any other
individual oil pool at this time.
The Wilcox sand in the Tonkawa
field will have to be reckoned with
again since the sensational perform
ance of the Wentz Oil Corporation
No. 4 Mahoney in section 2S-25-1 west
on the north edge of the field which
made 125 barrels hourly from bare
penetration OF the deep sand at 1920
feet. Conan Oil company No. IL
Beverlin in section 34-25-1 west was
also a big well, making SO barrels
the first hour and thereafter flowing
at the rate of 70 barrels an hour.
There are some 20 wells drilling in
this section of the field which win

In Comanche County, Oklahoma, an
important wildcat strike was reported
in the Hanberry Oil company test in
section 1929 west at 1897 feet and
at 2OOJ feet started off at the rate
of 100 barrels an hour. The well
is about eight miles east Of Lawtnn
and ten miles northwest of Duncan.
