DISCOVER DEEP SAND
In WYOMING FIELD

DENVER, Colo. Nov. 2S.-The
Argo Oil company, drilling for the ac-
count of the Glenrock Oil company,
has discovered n productive deep sand
in the Pilot Butte (Wyoming) field.
where activities heretofore have been
confined altogether to shallow produc-
ton. The well was started with a
small drilling machine and tho original
intention was to try for shalloS pro-
duction. Later it was decided TO carry
the test deeper, which accounts for
tie fact that the sand was tapped Mt
20G5 feet with only thrc,-incn hole.
This makes a test of the we'll very
difficult as the hole is in bad condi-
ton. due TO cavings.
The we'll is located on the northwest
quarter of section 27-3-1, which is an
Indian lease.

BETTER TIMES SEEN FOR
MID-CONTINENT IN 1926

TULSA. Okla, Nov. 2S.-Increas-
ing evidence of better times in the oil
business, with production declining
faster than it is increasing and some
of the wildcat fields beginning TO cash
in" as 1926 possibilities, sums up the
situation in the Mid-Continent for the
past week.
CARRIER is still n threat, but less of
one. The salt water encroachment
has steadily cut into the big produc-
ton at time when an absence of new
wells WINS noted. A deep wildcat strike
west of the Burbank pool. while not
yet well, indicates something impor-
tant may happen in that locality. The
new Thurman field in Hughes county,
scene of 100000 oil deal the past
week, has the earmarks of an impor-
tant pool. 1t was the feature of the
past week in this territory.
BIG WELLS.
Latest big we'll at CARRIER was the
Roxana Petroleum Corporation No.
NV. Schroeder which started off at so
barrels an hour at 1915 feet. 1t is I'M
derstood the well will be drilled deep
or and production may rival some of
the other big wells on this lease. The
Schroeder lease produced approximate
ly $4,000 barrels on November % from
six wells. 1t is located in the south.
west quarter of section 1928 west.
A 100000 deal in the new Fuhr-
man pool, 3 IL miles south of the Pa
poose pool in Hughes county, Okla,
attracted much attention during the
week. Independent Oil and Gas Com
pany paid this amount for the half in
terest of the Thurman Petroleum Com.
pany in the n-Transcontinen-
tai Oil Company wildcat well recently
brought in for 1900 barrels initial in
the Papoose sand. The we'll is located
on 160-acre lease in what is de.
scribed as the southwest quarter OF
section 26-9-9 and the Independent Oil
and Gas Company now takes over the
operation of the property in which the
Transcontinental still has its half in.

under Oklahoma laws of the Inde-
pendent Pipe Line Company, capital
100000. with E. III. Moore, w. IL.
James and r. NJ. higgins rs incor-

Company is entering the pipe line bus
mess and soon hopes to connect some
of the important Oklahoma pools south

The growth of this company from
a comparatively small and unknown
oil producing concern at Okmulgee,
Okla. two years ago into one of the
leading junior prominent oil COM
panies in the Mid Continent with ex-
tensive oil production and large and
modern refinery and with its stock
now listed on the New York Stock

of the most spectacular of its kind. 1t

NEW OIL POOL
IN Dewitt
PROBABLE

CUERO, Tex, Nov. 2s.-With two
wildcat tests being drilled in this
county, showing oil and gas in sew
eral formations, big operators are be-
ginning to look forward to Dewitt
county bringing in the next oil field.
The Empire Southern Oil company,
a 100000 concern, has been leasing
property in the vicinity of Cuero and
plans to drill tests shortly.
The first well will be on the G. G.
Smith tract, midwa.y between Cuero
and Yorktown. This test will be
spudded in about the first of the year,
it is announced.
The Cuero Oil and Gas company's
No. I Holzapfel is drilling around
27o0 feet. 1t will be sunk to $500
feet or deeper il good production is
not found at a shallower depth.
The Holzapfel well found good
showing. which would make from so
to 100 barrels at 25S7 to 2595 feet.
The eight feet of oil formation was
mari. Should the well fail to pro.
duce in the lower formations, it will
be plugged back to the mari stratum
and completed.

MANY TESTS DRILLING FOR
SHALLOW OIL AT LULINC

LULING, Tex, Nov. 2S.-With a
well already drilling on the Bridges
tract about two and half miles
northwets of Luling and a rig being
moved on to the Walker lease adjoin-
ing for thorough test of the well
abandoned two years ago by the Big
Gusher Oil company, the Detex Oil
company is taking block of acre
age in the vicinity Of the old Walker
well, drilled three miles north Of
town by Richards and Art some
three years ago, and will drill another
well in that territory. When the
first Richards and Art test, which
was a deep well, was drilled, a good
showing was encountered at around
800 feet, but it was cased off and the
hole carried on down. Later the No.
2 well was drilled close by in an
effort to pick up the shallow produc-
ton, but nothing could be found that
would make producing well and both
tests were abandoned with the No.
1 at around 5000 feet and showing
heavy gas pressure and the No. 2 a
little below 600.
Since that time numerous other
wells have showed some shallow show
ings and there are many oil men who
believe the Luling field will ultimate
ly have shallow production.
NJ. o. Rayor, pioneer driller of this
district, who is at the head of the
Detex Company, is convinced that

OKLAHOMA OUTPUT
45OO BARRELS Up

TULSA, OKLA, Nov. 2S.-Okla-
homa production for the past week
was estimated at $4,000 barrels as
compared with 4SS,500 barrels the
prior week. the 5000-barrel increase
of the CARRIER field having since been
lost in a sharp decline in that Sec
tor. CARRIER at peak point of IL
325 barrels of which the deep sand
produced 71,025 barrels, has appar-
emily passed its high mark in spite
of few other big wells which may
come in on the Roxana Petroleum
Corporation Schroeder lease and on
the north edge of the field where the
water trouble is less serious. During
the early part of the week the Gar
Der deep sand lost approximately TO-
600 barrels in a few days time and
this was generally interpreted to mean
that the peak output had been
reached.

the purpose of hunting it out. He
is using light equipment and his con-
tracts are for wells of a thousand feet
in depth. Tho lnscore well, drilled
by him has been abandoned at about
1900 feet after getting good shallow
showings, but in formations too tight
to give up oil in paying quantities.
This well is about half a mile south
of the Bridges location.
In the main field the attention Of
the United North and South Oil COLI
pany is being conferred around their
two deep test wells-the Kelley and
Tiller, which are being carried stead
lily down below $500 feet. Many
hundred of acres of leases and royal
ties have been purchased recently by
the company in the territory around
these wells and extending westward
clear past the town of Prairie Lea,
southwark into Guadalupe county and
eastward almost to the location of
the old Robinett well drilled early
in the history of the Luling field.
Many new derricks have been erect
ed for standard depth wells, but it
is not thought that any extensive
drilling campaign will be undertaken
until after the new year, when the
new electrical power plant being in
stalled by the company will be avail
able.

operators who formerly believed that

practically been proved by numerous
tests completed during the past IS
months.
As a result Of this fact undoubtedly
much progress will be made in engi-

ly in handling sand problems. Field
men from Trinidad have recently been
in the United States investigating
methods used to control sand, and a
close study was made of equipment
that might be successfully used there.
