ACTIVITY IS
GREATEST
IN WEEKS
O. W. KiIlam, With Three
Producers, Leads in
Compilations.

LAREDO, Tex, Sept. 5.-Durins
the last ten days 1880 barrels of oil
have been added to the daily produc'
zion of the Laredo district. This in
crease is mostly due to the operations
of o. w. Killam, pioneer Of this dis
trict, on the Martinez lease recently
purchased from the Henne, Winch
and Fariss interests. His No. 8, re-
ported last week as making 200 bar
rels, is now flowing between 400 and
500 barrels daily. The sand depth
of this well is 2056-2071 feet. Six
and five-eights inch casing was set
mt 2054 feet. No. 10, with casing at
2056 feet, over the sand ct 205S-2O7l
feet, is flowing better than 500 bar
fels daily. No. Il, casing at 205S feet,
sand 2O59-2O75 feet. is flowing 500
barrels daily by heads. All three tests
are located on blocks u and IA, sur
.vey 256, Henne, Winch and Fariss
Pool, Jim Hogg county.
According to Mr.. Killam, the No.
II well looks like the best in the field.
A three-quarter inch choker will be
installed after which it is thought the
well will exceed 1000 barrels daily.
150-BARREL WELL.
The Magnolia Petroleum company
completed No. 6 well located on block
10, survey 256, for a daily produc-
ton of $50 barrels. This block ad-
Joins the o. W. Killam interests on
the north and proves up the eastern
portion Of block IL of the same sur
Fey. which is owned by Mr.. Killam.
The Kitselman st. Adams inter
=ests also completed No. 10 well To-
Gated on block /, survey $50 FL Pey-
ote Grant for a daily production of
s175 barrels. This producer is located
1ust TO the southeast Of the Magno-
liza Petroleum company No. 6 well,
and makes the fourth producer for this
company on block 1.
62 PRODUCERS.
At this time there are G. producing
-1oil wells and six gas wells located in
the Henne, Winch and Fariss pool, all
of the above wells being drilled since
Jnne %. 1924 at which time the dis
-coyery gas well was completed. The
discovery oil well was completed DC
etober "a. 1924. During the period of
October "a, 1924, to July 81, 1925,
"A total of S0O,9O3.S1 barrels of oil
were recovered from the Henne,
Winch and Fariss pool, making an
average daily production for the
T247 days Of 3242 barrels. This pool
rs by far the most lucrative in the
entire district.
The test drilled by the Associated
Oh Company on survey 1S5 of the
sutherland ranch, northwestern Dor
ton Of Duval county, cored a sand
That showed oil at the depth Of 1880
aeet. This test is located Just norti-
east of the tests drilled by the Iowa
-Ieyas Production Company, both of
-afhich showed evidence Of oil when
-eored. The United States Gas and
.1bl Company is moving tools for a
Jest on survey 81 of the Iowa-Texas
PRODUCTION Company lease out of the
W. X. Peters ranch, few miles south
west Of the Associated test. Both of
these tests are fayorably located and
are being watched very closely BY the
smajor oil concerns.
OTHER ACTIVITY.
20. W. Killam and Clint Cbenault
ARE preparing 70 move on tools for
test TO the north and east of the
LeaseholdeTs Pool, Webb county. A
contract was recently closed between
the Calumet Petroleum COMPANY and
Harry J.. Fansler for the drilling Of
two wells On the lease owned by the
former company on portions Of the
-Gates-Kirkpatrick ranch. and the
Eillam-Chenault test is the first IN
der this contract. The first test drilled
in the immediate area where Killam-
Chenault have made their location Dro-
duced for an initial production about
20 barrels. Several other tests were
drilled nearby. which resulted in fail
ures. however the shOwings obtained
IN all of the tests drilled convinced Mr..
Fsnsler that oil should be found near
{ By and accordingly a contract was
closed with the Calumet Petroleum
Company. The present location for
the No. test will be about one mile
west OF the Killam- Chenault location
and about half a mile southwest Of
the test drilled by The Nuter-Carter-
Perkins interests last year.
In this fest gas is now showing
through 1850 feet Of mud which is
very favorable for a test on that side
of the pool In the shallow water
wells drilled near the ranch house of
A. y. Gates, gas has been in evidence
for q number Of years, and was the
principal reason for the original tests
being dril,ed.
